Description
Reflecting the latest research and practices, BODY STRUCTURES AND FUNCTIONS - Anatomy and Physiology, 14th edition, provides a thorough overview of the basics required for the study of the human body and how it functions. With an all-new Chapter 1: Scientific Foundations and Lab Practices, the 14th edition is aligned to National Healthcare Foundation Standards as well as NGSS Next Generation Science Standards to meet the needs of future health professionals as well as scientific laboratory requirements. The text walks students step-by-step through a general introduction to life functions, terminology and phonetic pronunciations used to describe body parts, and a review of human development and body processes. The One Body feature describes the interrelationship between all body systems while career Profiles give students insight into growing health care professions. In addition, Diverse Artwork has been added to update photographs, drawings, and figures to showcase diverse patients to offer a more realistic view of human body varying in age, race, weight, height and gender.
MindTap, the online solution for Career and Technical Education, includes a full, interactive eBook, annotation and study tools, videos, practice and auto-graded assessment as well as Learning Lab simulations for Anatomy & Physiology, designed to immerse and engage students in real-world scenarios with health care professionals and patients as they describe symptoms across the body systems and engage in learning activities to understand anatomy basics and clinical applications.
