Foundations of Human Physiology offers a detailed look at how fetal life, digestion, and lactation integrate with overall body function.

This edition examines the unique physiology of the fetus, including fetal circulation and the transition to neonatal life, and moves through respiration, metabolism, and excretion in mammals. Clear explanations, anchored in anatomy and physiology, help students and practitioners understand normal and pathological processes. The text draws together topics such as fetal blood flow and oxygen transfer, placental relationships, the beginnings of respiration before birth, and the energy balance of growing tissues. It also covers the digestive system, pancreatic function, and the mammary gland’s role in lactation, tying these systems to practical clinical contexts.

• Fetal circulation: foramen ovale, ductus arteriosus, and other fetal structures and their functional implications
• Respiration and gas exchange in mammalian development, including maternal–fetal interactions
• Digestive physiology: secretions, digestion, and absorption with emphasis on the pancreas
• Lactation and mammary gland physiology, including milk composition and nutrition
