Description
For courses in Human Physiology
Don't just study-visualize, explore, and solve problems in human physiology with Principles of Human Physiology!
Principles of Human Physiology, Sixth Edition uses a precise and clear-cut writing style to offer lasting comprehension for Human Physiology students, extending to real-life application in the field. The Sixth Edition provides essential digital resources to foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The exceptional art program is consistent, scientifically accurate, and visually appealing. Stanfield's renowned flexible pedagogy allows instructors to choose what is essential to students when mapping out their course.
MasteringA&P provides a framework for students to practice solving clinical problems, think conceptually, and apply new knowledge. Assigning interactive tutorials and coaching activities in MasteringA&P directs student learning on the toughest topics and provides a comprehensive and engaging learning environment.
Also available as a Pearson eText or packaged with Mastering A&P
Pearson eText is a simple-to-use, mobile-optimized, personalized reading experience that can be adopted on its own as the main course material. It lets students highlight, take notes, and review key vocabulary all in one place, even when offline. Seamlessly integrated videos and other rich media engage students and give them access to the help they need, when they need it. Educators can easily share their own notes with students so they see the connection between their eText and what they learn in class - motivating them to keep reading, and keep learning.
Mastering A&P is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with Principles of Human Physiology to engage students and improve results. Instructors ensure students arrive ready to learn by assigning educationally effective content before class, and encourage critical thinking and retention with in-class resources such as Learning CatalyticsTM. Students can further master concepts after class through traditional and adaptive homework assignments that provide hints and answer-specific feedback. With a wide range of activities available, students can actively learn, understand, and retain even the most difficult concepts.
Note: You are purchasing a standalone book; Pearson eText and Mastering A&P do not come packaged with this content. Students, ask your instructor for the correct package ISBN and Course ID. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.

Reviews / Votes
"The explanation and concepts of the topic are well explained, and it is praiseworthy for simple explanation of complex concepts." - Jaya Shah, Woodland Community College "Strengths: well-written, good figures, accurate, good balance between anatomy/molecular detail." - Dr. Geoffrey M. Goellner, Minnesota State University, Mankato "Its biggest strength is its clarity." - Ari Berkowitz, University of Oklahoma "Best thing in this chapter to me is the description of the heartbeat cycle. It is remarkably clear and interesting reading." - Eric Green, Salt Lake Community College (About Chapter 14) "I am particularly impressed with the clear and concise "Learning Outcomes" and "Before you begin" sections at the opening of both chapters. I feel that my students would benefit from this guidance." - Patrick Cafferty, Emory UniversityMore details
