Written specifically for the one-semester course, this text presents a superior teaching and learning experience for you and your students. The program allows you to: Bring A&P concepts to life and provide real-world context: A dramatic art and photo program features 3-D anatomy illustrations, process figures with descriptive step text, realistic bone art, illustrated tables, and new clinical photographs in the Homeostatic Imbalance feature. Help students study and retain information: Effective pedagogy, including new Concept Links, Did You Get It? concept check questions, figure; questions, and end-of-chapter review questions help students study and retain the information they need. Personalize learning with MasteringA&P (optional purchase): MasteringA&P provides students with engaging experiences that coach them through tough topics in A&P, with tools that help them visualize, practice, and understand A&P. Instructors can easily assign a wide range of question and activity types for automatic grading. New for the Eleventh Edition, learning outcomes and Homeostatic Imbalance features are now numbered for easy assignment in MasteringA&P. Note: You are purchasing a standalone product; MasteringA&P does not come packaged with this content. MasteringA&P is not a self-paced technology and should only be purchased when required by an instructor. MasteringA&P® is not included. Students, if MasteringA&P is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN and course ID.
