自1956年第1版出版以来，《医学生理学》历经修订，现已成为世界范围内的生理学教科书。新的第13版依然延续了“用简明的语言讲述生理学核心知识”的编写传统，并加入近年来重要的新进展。《医学生理学（第13版）》图片数量进一步增加，生理学与临床的联系及分子机制方面的内容也有较多扩充。《医学生理学（第13版）》应用不同排版方式鲜明区分不同层次的知识：与维持人体“稳态”相关的生理学核心知识使用大号字体，其他支持性信息或举例使用小号字体并置在灰蓝色背景中。《医学生理学（第13版）》正文中的关键知识以总结性图片或表格的形式进一步被提炼、再现。《医学生理学（第13版）》书末增加实验室常见指标的正常参考值，以方便快速查阅。
