Anatomy, Physiology and Disease for Health Professions connects human diseases and disorders to anatomy and physiology through application and clinical-based approaches. This edition offers a completely redesigned learning experience through larger, more focused art and expanded table of contents. Students will feel a new sense of engagement and motivation through Chapter Opening Case Studies that unfold as they move through each chapter. Updated learning objectives and a wider variety and quantity of questions and exercises for have also been included with this edition.
This workbook is a great reinforcement of the concepts in anatomy and physiology. The workbook features a coloring book section, lab exercises and activities, key-word concept maps and review questions.

"Anatomy and Physiology explores the essentials of human structure and function through engaging, generously illustrated activities. Much of the content in the first edition has been revised to include larger diagrams, more photographs, and greater depth of coverage in key areas. Sound biological principles are emphasised throughout, and key interactions between body systems are indicated using annotated introductory figures. Using key examples, students are encouraged to explore each body system within the contexts of disease, medicine and technology, aging, and exercise. The result is a rounded exploration of the functioning human."--Back cover.
"Human anatomy and physiology is a fascinating subject. However, students can be overwhelmed by the complexity, the interrelatedness of concepts from different chapters, and the massive amount of material in the course. Our goal was to create a textbook to guide students on a clearly written and expertly illustrated beginner's path through the human body. An Integrative Approach One of the most daunting challenges that students face in mastering concepts in an anatomy and physiology course is integrating related content from numerous chapters. Understanding a topic like blood pressure, for example, requires knowledge from the chapters on the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and how these structures are regulated by the nervous and endocrine systems. The usefulness of a human anatomy and physiology text is dependent in part on how successfully it helps students integrate these related concepts. Without this, students are only acquiring what seems like unrelated facts without seeing how they fit into the whole. To adequately explain such complex concepts to beginning students in our own classrooms, we as teachers present multiple topics over the course of many class periods, all the while balancing these detailed explanations with refreshers of content previously covered and intermittent glimpses of the big picture. Doing so ensures that students learn not only the individual pieces, but also how the pieces ultimately fit together. This book represents our best effort to replicate this teaching process. In fact, it is the effective integration of concepts throughout the text that makes this book truly unique from other undergraduate anatomy and physiology texts"--
