  Anatomy and Physiology is designed to help students develop a solid, basic understanding of anatomy and physiology without an encyclopedic presentation of detail. Great care has been taken to select important concepts and to perfectly describe the anatomy of cells, organs, and organ systems. The plan that has been followed for eight editions of this text is to combine clear and accurate descriptions of anatomy with precise explanations of how structures function and examples of how they work together to maintain life. To emphasize the concepts of anatomy and physiology, the authors provide explanations of how the systems respond to aging, changes in physical activity, and disease, with a special focus on homeostasis and the regulatory mechanisms that maintain it. Timely and interesting examples demonstrate the application of knowledge in a clinical context.

  Designed for the two-semester anatomy and physiology course, this new edition is written to help instructors to teach anatomy and physiology while fostering the skills of problem solving. While learning how to solve problems and think critically, students learn A&P based on two themes: the relationship between structure and function, and homeostasis. - Throughout the book, text narrative has been substantially edited and reworked to enhance readability and user-friendliness. More analogies and tangible comparisons have been added to bring information home to students in a more concrete way. - The new edition now offers two sets of review questions, and two types of critical thinking questions in each chapter. They will be embedded throughout the text as well as in the end-of-chapter material. - The entire art program has been revamped; almost every piece of art throughout the text has been updated for colour, consistency and a more modern style.
