Abstract:
This fifth edition textbook, written for Advanced Placement and college students, provides an introduction to key ideas in anatomy and physiology. The book follows a thematic approach, with three core themes: interrelationships of body organ systems, homeostasis, and complementarity of structure and function. As students progress through the book, these themes continually emerge to emphasize the connections between core concepts. Color diagrams and tables support the text along with chapter summaries, review questions, and in-text icons that direct students to further exercises and case studies in the accompanying CD-ROM. The textbook comes with a student study guide and an instructor's guide with pedagogical suggestions and answers to student exercises. (Author/JG)
