[edit] This Book is Used as an Authoritative Text for Educational Purposes at Free Open Medical School

Please be cautious when editing or changing this resource as it is now a permanent part of the Free Open University Curriculum. Thanks for all the good work. Freeopenuniversity (talk) 20:03, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Wow! This is a real honor! I'd love to learn more about Free Open University! I'll have to look into it. Provophys (talk) 18:10, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] suggested merge

I suggest merging the "Medical Physiology" wikibook into the "Human Physiology" wikibook. Both books discuss the same topic and have about the same target audience, right? --DavidCary (talk) 17:56, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Does Medical Physiology have any content? Would it even be worth doing? Sethwoodworth (talk) 21:30, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
As a primary author of the human physiology book, I would welcome any content from the medical physiology book, but recognize that it may be appropriate to have two books. I would like our book to be more rigorous, but perhaps the intended depth for the medical physiology textbook would overwhelm undergraduate students (my primary audience). In looking at the renal physiology chapter, I liked the focus on medical application, rather than just description. I would like to hear from the creator of the medical physiology textbook whether he/she thinks that the goals of the book could be reached simply by adding content to what we already have put together. I would enjoy collaborating on a project to improve the existing book if it would serve the purpose. Provophys (talk) 17:48, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Medical physiology tends to be much more indepth and intense than Human physiology - also human physiology tends to focus on how the system works when healthy, and medical physiology does that and then takes it a step further and covers pathophysiology. Totally different aims. I vote for keeping them seperate. And if the renal chapter is anything to go by, the Medical physiology could become a good wikibook in its own right. To be honest, merging these would be like merging a book on Bach with a book on Mozart simply because they both deal with famous composers....

I agree with the readers who think that Medical Physiology should be separate from Human physiology. Although there is a lot of overlap, the former is aimed really at medical students - and thus should be more detailed, the latter should be sused as a primary text. Medical Physiology should have sections on Clinical Physiology, either as a separate section, dispersed through the text or both.Boumphreyfr (talk) 16:17, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Problem Sets

Ideas to make this the greatest book on Human Physiology :

- Lot of problems, cases with good solutions. current set is good but could be lot better - Recorded audio if used in a class.

I would love to contribute to this - but I am just a student.

[edit] Need new cover image

Your book's cover image was deleted at Human Physiology/Cover, in its featured book template at Template:Main Page featured books2, and at Wikibooks:Health science bookshelf by the Commons de-linker. You'll want to choose a new one. -- Adrignola talk contribs 12:04, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned page

Human Physiology/Letter to teachers - if this isn't needed, tag it with a {{delete|reason}}. -- Adrignola talk contribs 22:42, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
