Description

About The Book

An physiology explores how the body’s systems and organs work together to sustain life. It is a vital area of study for allied health science students, as it builds an understanding of normal body functions and how these can be disrupted by disease.

A central focus of physiology is the study of cells, the building blocks of life. Essential body processes such as movement, breathing, digestion, and waste elimination begin at the cellular level. The nervous and endocrine systems are especially important for regulating and coordinating these functions through nerve impulses and hormones.

With a solid grasp of physiological functions, allied health professionals can better assess health conditions, identify abnormalities, and provide appropriate care. A strong foundation in human physiology supports effective clinical decision-making and ensures quality care in health care environments.

About The Author

Dr. Wankupar Wankhar is a highly esteemed academic and researcher with expertise in stress Physiology. He currently holds the position of Professor and Dean in Charge at The Assam Kaziranga University. With a Ph.D. in Stress Physiology, Dr. Wankhar possesses a profound understanding of how environmental and physiological stressor can influence health at both cellular and systemic levels.

His research primarily investigates the impact of stressors, with a particular focus on the nervous system. He has conducted significant studies on anxiety and depression, exploring the role of serotonin receptors and their intricate relationship with neurotransmission, offering valuable insights for developing targeted therapeutic strategies. Dr. Wankhar is also deeply involved in natural product research, examining how medicinal plants can mitigate oxidative stress and neuronal transmission to protect neural tissue. Additionally, he has investigated the effects of aspartame, an artificial sweetener, on brain function, focusing its contribution to memory impairment and disruptions in neuronal signalling.

A prolific researcher, Dr. Wankhar has co-authored 34 peer-reviewed articles in several national and international journals, significantly advancing the scientific community’s understanding of stress physiology and natural therapeutics. His work is particularly relevant in addressing the growing health challenges posed by stressors and integrating traditional knowledge with modern scientific methodologies, Dr. Wankhar strives to develop sustainable and effective solutions for stress related health issues.
