20 real-life cases focusing on variations of ‘normal’, including questions and answers + rationales to aid with assessment/exam preparation
Mix of compensatory and more complex cases
Inclusion of concept maps to aid case-based approach understanding of integration of body systems in response to changes to homeostasis
Case-based approach will build on knowledge gained from Applied Anatomy and Physiology 1e
