Understanding the human body requires more than memorising structures; it depends on seeing how anatomy, physiological regulation and disease mechanisms are connected. Developed for B.Pharm Semester I, this text presents these relationships in a pharmacy-oriented framework aligned with the revised PCI curriculum.The coverage progresses from anatomical terminology, cellular organisation, tissues, organ systems and homeostasis to the mechanisms by which normal function is disturbed in disease. Cellular injury, inflammation and pathogenesis are integrated with the structure and function of major body systems, including disorders affecting the skin, musculoskeletal system, blood, cardiovascular system and special senses.Clear explanations, systematic classifications, labelled illustrations, chapter summaries and review questions support progression from basic structure to functional interpretation and altered physiology. Cause-and-effect relationships help readers connect normal biological processes with disease development, while clinical and therapeutic relevance places foundational science within the wider context of pharmaceutical education.The book establishes a strong foundation for first-year pharmacy students and supports later study in pharmacology, pharmacotherapeutics, pathology and other subjects that require a clear understanding of the normal and diseased human body.
