Summary

Now in its 11th Edition, the best-selling Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology continues to set the standard for one-semester A&P texts. With her hallmark clear and friendly writing style and meaningful analogies, Elaine Marieb emphasises the relevance of anatomy & physiology to students' lives and future careers. The book continues to offer just the right balance of anatomy, physiology, and clinical coverage to make the content complete, but not overwhelming. New clinical photos in the Homeostatic Imbalance feature help students visualise diseases and disorders, and new integrated Concept Links help students make connections across topics and body systems. A new, more modern design makes the book more accessible than ever, and new specific references to Mastering A&P direct students to study tools and resources that reinforce their understanding of chapter concepts. Written specifically for the one-semester course, this text presents a superior teaching and learning experience for you and your students. The program allows you to:
