This document is an excerpt, including the table of contents and a sample chapter quiz, from the 8th Edition of a comprehensive textbook on Pathophysiology: The Biologic Basis for Disease in Adults and Children. The text provides a detailed study of the biological and cellular mechanisms underlying disease processes in both adult and pediatric populations. The content is organized across 50 chapters covering fundamental concepts like cellular biology, genetics, immunity, infection, and stress, before moving into alterations across nearly every major body system, including the neurologic, hormonal, reproductive, hematologic, cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, digestive, and musculoskeletal systems. The included sample questions focus on core principles of cellular biology, such as metabolic absorption, cell organelles, DNA synthesis, membrane transport (passive and active), and various modes of cell communication (hormonal, paracrine, autocrine)
