Description
This text for a first course in human anatomy and physiology has three underlying themes: the relationship between physiology and anatomy, the interrelations among the organ systems, and the relationship of each organ system to homeostasis. Four introductory chapters are followed by material on organ systems, which can be used by instructors in any order. New to this third edition are 153 additional depictions of physiological concepts, new clinical pathophysiology application boxes discussing contemporary research, and more questions and critical thinking exercises.
