The standard work is the ideal companion during studies and is now newly released in its 16th edition.

The proven fundamental concept by Prof. Klaus Loeffler, who conceived and authored the first edition, has been retained. The closely related fields of anatomy and physiology are presented comprehensively, concisely, and understandably, while the content has been continuously updated with new aspects and adjusted to the current state of knowledge.

New in the 16th edition: Numerous pathophysiological processes and the physiological backgrounds of diseases have been explained in greater detail. Illustrations have been revised and supplemented to clarify complex issues and facilitate understanding. The appendix offers many valuable additional resources, such as designations, SI units and conversions, abbreviations, and explanations of Latin and Greek terms.
