Appropriate for undergraduate courses in Allied Health Chemistry.

This comprehensive and flexible text emphasizes the practical aspects of general, organic, and biological chemistry with numerous applications to (and case histories of) clinical nursing and health-related situations. The text avoids excessive theory and math, and provides students with the chemical background necessary to understand medical tests and procedures they will perform in their future professions.

Stresses the relationship between inorganic chemistry and the life processes with discussions of acids and bases, oxidation-reduction, nuclear chemistry and radio-activity, and more. Pg.___

Explains the various chemical processes taking place in the body during normal and abnormal metabolism. Pg.___

Discusses the role of ATP in metabolism to illustrate the complex processes that occur 'normally' in the body. Pg.___

Considers the effects of an excess or deficiency of vitamins and hormones, demonstrating the involved inter-relationships in metabolic processes. Pg.___

Studies the function of nitric oxide and carbon monoxide as neurotransmitters. Pg.___

Offers the latest research and findings in a number of areas, such as:
- Genetics—genetic diseases, gene splicing, possible methods of treating genetic deficiencies, and updated AIDS statistics. Pg.___
- Radiation technology—how radioisotopes are being used in diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Pg.___
- Electron microscopy. Pg.___

The text has many practical examples, outlines, summaries, review questions, and references. Pg.___

In this edition, we've added visual appeal and increased conceptual clarity with improved illustrations and many full-color photographs integrated throughout.

Includes intriguing case histories to further demonstrate real-world applications, add perspective, and deepen students' understanding. Pg.___

Combines coverage of acid base salts into one chapter. Pg.___

Updates facts regarding medical theory and procedures. Pg.___
