This introductory text presents a large, complex body of scientific knowledge in an easily understood conversational writing style, focusing on concepts rather than just descriptions to help students unify information. By using "big picture" and "cycle of life" themes throughout, the student learns the interrelation of body systems and the body's change in relation to age and development. Includes hundreds of full-color illustrations, a FREE Student Survival Guide to Anatomy &amp; Physiology and a FREE Panorama of Anatomy and Physiology CD-ROM to help make learning more exciting and interactive for students.TOC: * Written in an easily understood conversational style to facilitate learning. * Uses an inviting full-color design that makes the information more accessible, including more than 1400 full-color photos and illustrations to enhance explanations of difficult concepts. * Highlights key illustrations and photographs with a unique key-shaped symbol. * Includes case studies to challenge students with "real-life" clinical situations. * Includes a variety of specialty boxes and tables to explain the practical applications of the principles of anatomy and physiology. * Reinforces learning by prompting students to review with Quick Check questions after major sections within the chapters. * Provides chapter outlines and key term lists at the beginning of each chapter to give students a short overview of subject content. * Detailed chapter summaries outline essential information to help student organize their study. * Content review questions help students determine how well they have mastered the important concepts. * Critical thinking questions actively engage students and challenge their reasoning skills. (Includes a FREE CD-ROM, Student Survival Guide and MERLIN website at: www.harcourthealth.com/MERLIN/Thibodeau/) Spanish version also available, ISBN: 8481744492

Anatomy & Physiology (With Students Survival Guide and CD-ROM)

Science & Math

Biological Sciences

This hands-on manual contains 55 lab exercises which guide students through human anatomy. Exercises include: labeling of anatomy, dissection of anatomic models and fresh or preserved specimens, physiological experiments, computerized experiments, and practical applications. A full-color Laboratory Reference features 90 labeled examples of common histology and dissection specimens for easily identifying parts of the anatomy. Important safety tips and a comprehensive laboratory preparation guide round out this well-done manual. A perfect supplement to Anatomy &amp; Physiology. * The modular organization of laboratory exercises makes it easy to use them in any order. * A user-friendly spiral binding allows for hands-free viewing in the lab. * Complete lists of materials for each exercise give students and instructors a handy reference for organized, efficient setup of lab. * Boxed hints provide students with special tips on handling specimens, using equipment, and managing laboratory activities, including special safety tips highlighted in boxes that remind students of potential hazards, such as fire, chemical spills, cuts, or biological contamination. * Special reference supplements, such as "The Anatomical Atlas of the Rat," help students examine laboratory specimens. * Easy-to-evaluate Lab Report formats allow instructors to check student work and easily assign grades. * Nearly three-fourths of the book is illustrated, ensuring a visual description of laboratory activities. * Content and concept review questions throughout encourage students to reinforce and apply their knowledge of human structure and function. * Practical applications to exercise and athletics, clinical situations, and everyday experiences increase student motivation. * Learning objectives at the beginning of each exercise offer a framework for learning. * Features MERLIN (Mosby's Electronic Resource Links and Information NOW!), an interactive website that includes content updates, student resources and links to sites with related content. A special access code is included with each textbook.

Laboratory Manual to Accompany Anatomy & Physiology

ANATOMY &amp; PHYSIOLOGY is an accurate, up-to-date introductory text on human form and function. It presents a large, complex body of scientific knowledge in an easily understood conversational writing style; it focuses on concepts rather than just descriptions to help students unify information. Critical thinking learning opportunities are integrated throughout. The text uses a "big picture" theme of body function and also explains the body's homeostatic regulation. Many pedagogical features and hundreds of 4-color illustrations enhance the narrative.

Anthony's Textbook of Anatomy & Physiology

Structure and Function of the Body

A superb introductory anatomy and physiology text, STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE BODY presents core anatomy and physiology principles around two central and unifying themes: the normal structure and function of the human body and homeostasis. Elaborate full-color illustrations, centralized themes, simplistic language, and solid learning features encourage student comprehension of the material. Several new features help bring anatomy and physiology concepts to life: Health and Wellness Boxes; Study Tips with collaborative learning activities; a Student Survival Guide and interactive Panorama of Anatomy and Physiology CD-ROM free with every softcover book; and the MERLIN WebLinks with related web page.

This excellent summary reference includes a comprehensive illustrated review of important anatomy and related physiological principles. Where appropriate, the authors have developed summary tables of important physiological concepts such as cardiac electrical conductivity and renal filtration. This useful handbook serves as a reminder reference for students and practitioners who have already completed courses in anatomy and physiology and as a quick reference for individuals who must understand and investigate medical-related information using anatomy and physiology terminology.

Mosby's Handbook of Anatomy and Physiology

Basic Sciences

This updated third edition includes outstanding coverage of basic anatomy and physiology, plus the mechanisms of disease and pathologic conditions associated with each body system. Two unifying themes are integrated in this comprehensive text: the complementary nature of structure and function, and homeostasis. Homeostasis is used to show how "normal" structure and function are maintained, whereas failures of homeostasis are shown as basic mechanisms of disease. The reader is drawn into the subject by a clear, straightforward style, superior illustrations, and student-friendly features. Included FREE with the softcover text is Body Spectrum: Mosby's Electronic Anatomy Coloring Book CD-ROM.
