All content throughout coordinates with the HAPS learning outcomes
Conversational, storytelling writing style breaks down information into brief chapters and chunks of information, making it easier to understand concepts
1,400 full-color photographs and drawings bring difficult A&P concepts to life and illustrate the most current scientific knowledge
The Big Picture and Cycle of Life sections in each chapter help you comprehend the interrelation of body systems and how the structure and function of these change in relation to age and development
Interesting sidebars include boxed features such as Language of Science and Language of Medicine, Mechanisms of Disease, Health Matters, Diagnostic Study, FYI, Sport and Fitness, and Career Choices
Learning features include outlines, key terms, and study hints at the start of each chapter
Chapter summaries, review questions, and critical thinking questions help you consolidate learning after reading each chapter
Quick Check questions in each chapter reinforce learning by prompting you to review what you have just read
UNIQUE! Comprehensive glossary includes more terms than in similar textbooks, each with an easy pronunciation guide and simplified translation of word parts - essential features for learning to use scientific and medical terminology!
NEW! A short chapter on the Microbiome will be added to the text. The microbiome is essential for human development, immunity and nutrition. Autoimmune diseases such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, and fibromyalgia are associated with dysfunction in the microbiome
UPDATED! Several of the Career boxes will be updated to spotlight new individuals and their advances in the sciences
NEW! Case studies will be added to the TEACH lesson plans (1 new case study per chapter lesson where applicable)
