圖書簡介

　　 “以器官系統為中心”的醫學教學模式是國際醫學教育的趨勢。本系列書是世界著名醫藥衛生出版集團愛思唯爾公司出版的一套“以器官系統為中心”的醫學基礎課程教材。該套教材第1版出版后受到世界各地許多醫學院校的歡迎，并被多家進行“以器官系統為中心”教學的醫學院校選定為教材。第2版根據第1版出版后教師和學生的反饋意見，結合醫學知識的更新進行了全新修訂。在編寫內容上，該系列教材強調基礎與臨床的整合。每一章節都是圍繞著一個臨床病例展開，通過對病人問題的呈現以及解決過程引出對相關知識的探究，從而使與器官系統結構、功能以及疾病相關的重要的基礎醫學知識得到了完善的整合。在版式安排上，圖框中的病例資料與正文中的醫學知識完美匹配，一步一步地激起讀者的求知欲望。本冊為《呼吸系統》。
