Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology is a comprehensive anatomy and physiology textbook. This student-friendly text provides thorough coverage of the body systems and the way they work together to maintain homeostasis. Information about diseases and disorder related to each body system is enhanced by clinical case studies that foster student interest and thinking skills. Each chapter is divided into three to five lessons, which are further divided into smaller sections-an organizational plan designed to help beginning students absorb and comprehend manageable chunks of information. Key terms and concepts are introduced and explained in easy-to-understand language and are brought to life by more than 200 colorful anatomical illustrations. In addition, extensive end-of-section assessment activities enable students to evaluate how well they have learned and retained content they have studied.
