Anthony's Textbook of Anatomy and Physiology

Anatomy & Physiology is an accurate, up-to-date introductory text on human form and function

It presents a large, complex body of scientific knowledge in an easily understood conversational writing style; it focuses on concepts rather than just descriptions to help students unify information

Critical thinking learning opportunities are integrated throughout

The text uses a "big picture" theme of body function and also explains the body's homeostatic regulation

Many pedagogical features and hundreds of 4-color illustrations enhance the narrative

New illustrations have been added to the 5 th edition

Revised Career Choices boxes end each unit, and current topics (such as anthrax and the human genome project) are addressed in feature boxes

Features

Provides chapter outlines and key term lists at the beginning of each chapter to give students a short overview of subject content
Written in an easily understood conversational style to facilitate student learning
Uses consistent unifying themes such as the Big Picture and Cycle of Life sections to help students comprehend the interrelation of body systems and how the structure and function of these change in relation to age and development
An inviting full-color design makes the information more accessible, including more than 1300 full-color photos and illustrations to enhance and simplify explanations of difficult concepts
