Anatomy and Physiology An Integrated Approach

Anatomy and Physiology: An Integrated Approach combines the study of anatomy and physiology into one well-organized and illustrated text. It teaches students about the purposes of organ systems, as well as their interconnections. It educates readers about interactions between systems and how disruption to a single system can impact overall function.The material in Anatomy and Physiology focuses on primary concepts and how to apply them. Linked learning strategies, section-specific references, and short summaries throughout each chapter emphasize and reiterate material to enhance learning and retention. Anatomically accurate, vibrant, realistic artwork helps readers visualize anatomic and physiological principles.Written as an integrative text, Anatomy and Physiology provides a consistent, balanced discussion of both anatomy and physiology within and across chapters. The book provides detailed information on the topics covered in the traditional, two-course sequence of college-level anatomy and physiology but avoids overwhelming readers with inessential information. It is suitable for courses on anatomy, physiology, and human biology, particularly those designed for programs in health care professions.
