Publisher's Synopsis
Structure and Function of the Body, 11th edition, is a simplistic yet comprehensive introductory anatomy and physiology textbook. The 20 chapters of the book present all the anatomy and physiology core information organized around two central and unifying themes: the complementarity of normal structure and function of the human body and homeostasis. These two core themes permeate all content areas of the text.
The 11th edition of the text continues to build on the solid foundation of previous editions. The updated 4-color illustration program and centralized themes, as well as simplistic language, and solid pedagogical features provide a clear structure for student learning. This edition also contains new features that help bring anatomy and physiology concepts to life including: Health and Wellness Boxes; Collaborative Learning Activities; a Student Survival Guide free with every book; and the MERLIN WebLinks and related web page.
