Summary

An innovative art program of generously sized illustrations - each including a key concept statement and review question -- provides a consistent learning environment enabling students to make the connection between text and visual elements. A concise narrative, praised by students for its straightforward and easily comprehensible writing style, emphasizes scientific content over extraneous detail. Exhibits -specially designed self-contained lessons -- provide students with the extra help needed to learn the numerous structures that constitute certain body systems - most notably skeletal muscles, articulations, blood vessels and nerves. The duel themes of homeostasis and disruptions to homeostasis are effectively presented through the relevant use of in-chapter applications, end-of-chapter disorder boxes, and end-of-chapter lists of medical terminology. Continued coverage of scientific research and breakthroughs in understanding the human body keep the book on the cutting edge. Carefully integrated learning aids, such as pronunciations, word roots, summary tables, and cross-references complement the readable narrative. An extensive supplements package with aids to facilitate the variety of teaching and learning styles.
