• NEW - Text-specific Companion Website is greatly expanded as an on-line study guide—For every chapter, students have access to a variety of self-grading questions: multiple choice, labeling, matching, and more. In addition, there are concept map exercises and hot-links to relevant Websites around the world. An on-line glossary is also included.

  • Students can use the Website for chapter-specific assessment or exploration beyond the boundaries of their textbook.

• Superior illustration program
  • —Featuring award-winning illustrations by Bill Ober. The illustrations are large, clear and easy to study from.
  • —Macro-to-micro illustrations provide excellent visual support by allowing students to see anatomy in “exploded” or three-dimensional views. —Orientation icons help students relate isolated anatomical elements to the whole body.

  • Students are better able to understand the complexities of the human body with large, clear illustrations that relate isolated anatomical elements to the whole body. Ex.___

• Clinical applications
  • —Presented in three flexible formats:
  • —Clinical Discussions are integrated throughout each chapter and include applications relevant to the preceding text.
  • —Clinical Notes are in separate boxes and are extended discussions of major clinical disorders and diagnostic procedures.
  • —Applications Manual is a separate manual featuring more detailed discussions and supplementary photographs of clinical topics.

  • Students learn to apply their knowledge of anatomy and physiology to clinical and real world situations. Ex.___

• Numerous pedagogical aids
  • —Provide a “tutor in every text.”
  • —Concept Check Questions appear after key concepts, and help students check their understanding of material just covered.
  • —Figure Reference Locators are red dots which appear next to all figure call-outs and function as visual placeholders. They allow students to easily study illustrations without losing their place in the narrative.
  • —Concept Links are convenient page reference icons which link students to relevant concepts discussed earlier in the text. Helps students better understand A&P as a whole.

  • These aids help students study more efficiently and relate isolated concepts to other concepts within the text. Ex.___

  Admired and respected for its precise and flawless illustrations, Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology provides students with easy-to-follow explanations of core anatomy & physiology concepts. Crafted especially for students with no prior knowledge of anatomy & physiology and with little science background, Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology provides a solid framework for learning, interpreting, and applying information. Features such as Clinical Notes and Professional Profiles engage students by showing them how concepts apply to healthcare workplace situations. The book is automatically packaged with the Interactive Physiology^® 10-System Suite (IP-10) CD-ROM. 

   

  The Fifth Edition has been revised for “ease of use and ease of assessment.” Chapters have been reorganized around new Learning Outcomes, which indicate to students what they should be able to do with what they have learned by the end of each chapter. The numbered Learning Outcomes are tied to numbered full-sentence section headings that not only introduce new topics but also teach something about those topics in the headings themselves. Checkpoint questions “close out” each major section to ensure that students have understood the material and its corresponding Learning Outcome before they move on to the next major section. New visually based end-of-chapter questions further the visual orientation of the book and test students’ visual understanding of key facts and concepts. The Test Bank and the online quizzes and tests are now also organized by the chapter Learning Outcomes, making student assessment easy for instructors.
