La seconda edizione italiana del testo Vander Fisiologia, basata sulla XIV edizione inglese, si caratterizza per la felice coesistenza di due caratteristiche raramente presenti entrambe in un unico trattato: la sintesi e la completezza. Un'esposizione ricca, ben organizzata, in cui i concetti complessi sono presentati con semplicità e chiarezza, anche grazie a una suddivisione dei contenuti chiara e strutturata che consente al lettore di riconoscere immediatamente gli argomenti chiave. Il testo presenta la fisiologia in un'ottica integrata: è corredato infatti da numerosi cenni di fisiopatologia e da riferimenti all'anatomia che precedono la descrizione degli aspetti funzionali. Ogni capitolo si conclude con la presentazione di un caso clinico relativo agli argomenti trattati, a dimostrazione di quanto sia importante conoscere i principi della fisiologia per lo studio della fisiopatologia. Da segnalare i numerosi supporti dedicati alla verifica autonoma dell'apprendimento: al termine di ogni sezione sono presenti domande di ripasso sugli argomenti trattati, mentre alla fine di ogni capitolo si trovano numerosi test di autovalutazione e domande di ragionamento. Inoltre, tutti i capitoli sono arricchiti da domande di fisiologia, più strutturate, la cui risposta richiede un'efficace comprensione degli argomenti affrontati e una buona capacità di integrazione degli stessi.

La caratteristica principale di Fisiologia Medica di Boron è la moderna trattazione della fisiologia umana incentrata sulla biologia cellulare e molecolare, con diversi capitoli introduttivi generali su questi argomenti. Questa impostazione viene mantenuta in tutti i capitoli ed è una chiave esplicativa particolarmente efficace per le parti di fisiologia renale, gastrointestinale, endocrina e sul controllo della fisiologia cardiovascolare. La ricca iconografia che accompagna il testo ha uno stile innovativo che presta particolare attenzione alla funzione didattica delle immagini. Numerosi box clinici con riferimenti a patologie e disturbi aiutano a comprendere l'implicazione di importanti processi fisiologici nella pratica clinica. Alcuni argomenti del sistema endocrino (insulina come fattore di crescita) e della neurofisiologia (la corteccia cerebrale, il movimento, i sistemi sensitivi e sensoriali, le funzioni nervose superiori) sono stati implementati dai curatori del testo in modo che rispondano ai temi affrontati nei programmi italiani.
