About the Book

For all combined courses covering anatomy, physiology and pathology in allied health programs, four year degree programs, military healthcare training centers and other programs; for standard A&P I and II courses; and as an advanced high school courses.

This engaging, conversational book introduces all the anatomy, physiology and pathology concepts that students must master to succeed in the health professions. Itșs designed to promote true understanding, not mere memorization and to help students make the lasting connections they need to thrive as practitioners. Throughout, well-placed ȜPathology Connectionsȝ sections tightly link A&P concepts to pathologic processes. Analogies help students compare the human body to objects and processes they already understand and illustrations and visual features support the visual learning style many of them prefer. This edition adds new web-based animations, videos and interactive exercises to its fully integrated website. It also offers an easier-to-navigate text design; enriched illustrations and new photographs; and a new chapter on biochemistry.
Features Hallmark Features

Enjoyable to read and linked to studentsș everyday lives. Takes a more personal approach that engages students by using real-world analogies and humor wherever appropriate and encourages mastery rather than mere memorization.

Supports more visual, interactive learning. The text contains more illustrations and visual features than ever and is complemented by a tightly integrated website that reinforces key concepts through videos, animations and interactive learning experiences.

Helps students understand the crucial interconnections among body systems and functions. Links A&P with pathology by placing focused, accessible ȜPathology Connectionsȝ sections immediately after key A&P concepts are introduced

Reinforces key concepts and supports more efficient review. Provides end-of-chapter ȜQuick Tripȝ review sessions summarizing system related diseases, with causes, signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests and treatments.

Helps students immediately understand the applied sciences related to key A&P concepts and pathologic processes. Provides well-placed Applied Sciences boxes illuminating the science behind key topics such as cellular respiration.

Prepares students to apply the textșs information in clinical practice. Includes Clinical Applications boxes that show how to apply knowledge in clinical practice and also illuminates A&P and disease issues associated with aging.

Promotes mastery by introducing topics in multiple ways to support diverse learning styles. Concepts are explained simply, with engaging and intuitively clear analogies; students are then directed to weblinks that reinforce key topics with animations, videos, or interactive exercises.

Promotes deeper engagement, enjoyment and insight through many engaging pedagogical features. Includes special boxed Learning Hints, ȜThatșs Awesomeȝ Amazing Body Facts and other features designed to help students extend their knowledge, link it to other key topics and apply it in practice.

Integrates diverse concepts and pathologies through realistic case studies. Presents two running case studies: one of a patient with diabetes and the other of a patient with a spinal cord industry. Throughout the text, these case studies integrate key concepts, demonstrate multi-system effects, understand the patientșs progression; and encourage students to use critical thinking to make clinical connections.

Enables students to quickly confirm their understanding of key concepts before moving forward. Places ȜTest Your Knowledgeȝ questions after blocks of content to help students check their mastery.
Introduces students to common medications used to treat each specific system-related disease. Includes a Pharmacology Corner concisely introducing relevant medicines in each chapter.

Introduces students to key body system diagnostic tests. Provides a dedicated chapter on body system diagnostic tests at the end of the book.

Helps students learn key medical terminology as they proceed, so specialized jargon is never an obstacle to mastery. Places medical terminology, word roots, suffixes, prefixes and Ȝsee-and-sayȝ pronunciation in the margins, alongside first usage; and supports these with an audio glossary online.

Gives students rich reference resources they can rely upon for years. Contains appendices with more information about medical terminology, clinical abbreviations, ȜDo Not Useȝ lists, infectious diseases and related pathogens, laboratory reference values, multi-system effects, vitamins and minerals and both standard and transmission-based precautions.

Gives students tools to study more effectively with less stress. Contains an exclusive Study Success Companion at the end of the book, compiling basic study skills and stress management tips that can be used in all classes, not just A&P.

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
