Structure and Function of the Body

Synopsis

A comprehensive introductory anatomy and physiology textbook. The 20 chapters of the book present all the anatomy and physiology core information organized around two central and unifying themes: the complementarity of normal structure and function of the human body and homeostasis. These two core themes permeate all content areas of the text. This 11th edition continues to build on the foundation of previous editions. It contains a four-colour illustration programme and centralized themes, simplistic language, and solid pedagogical features. This edition also includes new features to help bring anatomy and physiology concepts to life, including: health and wellness boxes; collaborative learning activities; a student survival guide, free with every book; and the MERLIN WebLinks and related Web page.
