Hey there,

What kind of information do you need about physiology specifically? And are we talking about human physiology or just generally? I think maybe you can just google specific topics within your physiology subject and get some good information...But just to get you started, here is a website that has some good topics within physiology: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Human_Physiology
Here is another website that has a couple human physiology textbooks online: http://www.prenhall.com/silverthorn/
And here is another one that has many topics for you to browse through: http://spot.colorado.edu/~dubin/bookmarks/b/1240.html

Good luck and all the best with your research!

Hello,

The previous links all seem great, and I would definitely recommend searching specific topics that you want to study before you turn to a textbook. It is much easier to learn specific information about a topic by looking for webpage’s and articles with the information that you are looking for, textbooks can sometimes become overwhelming, and because they are required to include a wealth of information, they may not go into sufficient detail for your research. However, I found a link to an online free physiology textbook, here it is: http://www.mfi.ku.dk/ppaulev/content.htm.

Hope this helps,

Hi there,

There are several of us here with a background in physiology--you've come to a good place! Feel free to ask a more specific question (I recommend you post it as a separate topic, to make it easier for us to see) and probably some of us can help you out.

Good luck!
