Human Anatomy

Description

Brief Contents

About the Book

• UPDATED! Story-based Clinical Cases and Clinical Case Wrap Ups focus on commonly encountered clinical scenarios to help students learn about the types of diseases and injuries they are likely to encounter in their future careers. Updated Clinical Notes appear within every chapter, expand upon topics just discussed, and present diseases and pathologies along with their relationship to normal function
• NEW! Key Point mini summary boxes at the beginning of each section outline the key point for that reading, succinctly stating what the student is about to learn and will glean from the section
• NEW! Tips & Tools boxes give students simple analogies and easy memory devices to help them remember facts and concepts, and provide advice on how to differentiate and navigate difficult topics such as “Identifying Tendons and Elastic Ligaments,” and “Identifying Hyaline and Fibrous Cartilage.”
• Spotlight Figures provide highly visual one- and two-page presentations of complex topics. The explanatory text is integrated into the visuals so students can find everything they need to understand a topic in one place. The 9th Edition includes one new Spotlight Figure on the Sympathetic Division of the Nervous System (chapter 17).
• Additional, Unique Figures guide students through structures:
• “Side-by-Side” Figures provide students with multiple views of the same structure, typically pairing an artist’s drawing with a cadaver photograph taken by renowned biomedical photographer Ralph Hutchings. This approach allows students to compare the illustrator’s careful rendering to a photo of the actual structure as it might be seen in the laboratory or operating room.
• “Step-by-Step” Figures break down multifaceted processes into step-by-step illustrations that coordinate with the authors’ narrative descriptions.
• “Macro-to-Micro” Figures help students to bridge the gap between familiar and unfamiliar structures of the body by sequencing anatomical views from whole organs or other structures down to their smaller parts. A typical illustration might combine a simple orientation diagram (indicating where an organ or structure is located in the human body) with a large, vivid illustration of that organ or structure, a corresponding sectional view, and a photomicrograph.
• “Illustration-over-Photo” Figures bring depth and dimensionality to the page and ensure that the illustrated structures are visually proportional in size to the human body.
• Tables appear frequently throughout the book to help students learn and review, making the book easy to study from.
• Learning Outcomes on each chapter-opening page indicate to students what they should be able to do after studying the chapter. These Learning Outcomes are coordinated by number to the main chapter headings, allowing students to check their understanding by both Learning Outcomes and chapter topics. Additionally, the assessments in Mastering^™ A&P are organized by these Learning Outcomes, allowing instructors to assign homework, assess understanding, and demonstrate teaching results by Learning Outcomes.
• Concept Checkquestions ask students to pause and check their understanding of facts and concepts. They are located at predictable points throughout the chapter, at the end of each major topic, and the answers are at the back of the book.
• End-of-chapter 3-level learning system helps build student confidence and understanding through a logical progression from factual questions (Level 1) to conceptual problems (Level 2) to analytical exercises (Level 3). The variety of questions also gives instructors flexibility in assigning homework from the text.
• Mastering A&P references direct students to online study tools to help them prepare for lab and review key chapter material.
