Abstract

Contents:

The human body -- The chemistry of life -- Cell structure -- Cellular metabolism and reproduction: mitosis and meiosis -- Tissues -- The integumentary system -- The skeletal system -- The articular system -- The muscular system -- The nervous system: introduction, spinal cord, and spinal nerves -- The nervous system: the brain, cranial nerves, autonomic nervous system, and the special senses -- The endocrine system -- The blood -- The cardiovascular system -- The lymphatic system -- Nutrition and the digestive system -- The respiratory system -- The urinary system -- The reproductive system.

Summary: Designed for allied health learners with little or no prior biology or chemistry knowledge, this full-color book is a comprehensive introduction to anatomy and physiology. The text is organized according to body systems, and focuses on the body working together to promote homeostasis. Chapters are self-contained so they can be taught or read in any order. Case studies found in the text and supplements encourage application of concepts learned and promote critical thinking and classroom discussion. Key terms with phonetic pronunciations help build vocabulary. Essential laboratory exercises at the end of chapters provide hands-on lab experience. The book also offers a comprehensive supplemental package to support multiple learning styles and leverages the latest technology.
