Keynes & Aidley’s Nerve and Muscle, 5th Edition (Original PDF) 2020

This well-established and acclaimed textbook introducing the rapidly growing field of nerve and muscle function has been completely revised and updated. Written with undergraduate students in mind, it begins with the fundamental principles demonstrated by the pioneering electrophysiological experiments on cell excitability. This leads to more challenging material recounting recent discoveries from applying modern biochemical, genetic, physiological and biophysical, experimental and mathematical analysis. The resulting interdisciplinary approach conveys a unified contemporary understanding of nerve and skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle function at the molecular, cellular and systems levels. Emphasis on important strategic experiments throughout clarifies the basis for our current scientific views, highlights the excitement and challenge of biomedical discovery, and suggests directions for future advances. These fundamental ideas are then translated into discussions of related disease conditions and their clinical management. Now including colour illustrations, it is an invaluable text for students of physiology, neuroscience, cell biology and biophysics.

  • Extensive revisions throughout include new chapters on skeletal muscle excitation-contraction coupling and cardiac arrhythmogenesis, covering exciting recent advances
  • Colour illustrations, new to this edition, include recently clarified structures of key biological molecules and cellular and muscle physiology, explaining major concepts
  • Systematic coverage of all major subject areas within the field provides students with comprehensive and self-contained preparation for examinations
