Anatomy and Physiology

This engaging, conversational book introduces all the anatomy, physiology, and pathology concepts that students must master to succeed in the health professions.

This edition adds new web-based animations, videos, and interactive exercises to its fully integrated website. It also offers an easier-to-navigate text design; enriched illustrations and new photographs; and a new chapter on biochemistry.
