Main description:

Anatomy & Physiology, Fifth Edition answers the demand for a leaner version of Elaine Marieb and Katja Hoehn's top-selling Human Anatomy & Physiology while maintaining its trusted, accurate approach. This streamlined text excludes coverage of pregnancy & human development, heredity, and the developmental aspects of body systems, while maintaining coverage of key A&P concepts. Marieb draws on her career as an A&P professor and her experience completing her nursing education; Hoehn utilizes her medical education and award-winning classroom instruction-together, they explain anatomy & physiology concepts and processes in a meaningful and memorable way. The new Fifth Edition makes it easier for you to learn key concepts in A&P by presenting information in smaller and more digestible bites, making it easier to distinguish key concepts from supporting details. Additionally, the Fifth Edition seamlessly integrates accompanying technology into the book for a completely integrated learning system. Plus: All text and art features are now assignable in MasteringA&P(r), providing professors with an easy way to give their students extra help on important topics.
New "At the Clinic" case studies help you to learn by applying your knowledge of A&P to clinical situations.
