To make that information easily accessible, Gastrointestinal Anatomy and Physiology: The Essentials brings together the world’s leading experts who present a comprehensive overview of the anatomic and physiologic features of the gastrointestinal tract.

Full color and with excellent anatomical and clinical figures throughout, it provides succinct, authoritative, and didactic anatomic and physiologic information on all the key areas, including:
