This second edition of the successful textbook Perinatal and Pediatric Pathophysiology addresses the physiological mechanisms by which the fetus, newborn, and child grow and develop normally. All major organ systems are covered including the immune and cardiovascular system. In addition, biological areas specific or particularly important to these developmental periods, for example growth and temperature regulation, are covered separately. The Second Edition has been extensively updated including two new chapters on genetics and bone, connective tissue, and skin development. Also, the chapters on membrane, cellular, and molecular biology, immunology, and on the nervous and muscle system have been totally rewritten. The chapter on neurophysiology is greatly extended with reference to both basic physiology and developmental aspects. Completely revised and up-to-date, the new edition of this essential textbook will prove invaluable reading for all those involved in pediatric research.
