Main description:

For the one-semester Human Anatomy course Praised for its atlas-style format, appropriately detailed anatomical illustrations, and exceptionally clear photographs of tissues and cadavers, Human Anatomy is now more visual and interactive. The Eighth Edition includes new one- and two-page Spotlight Figures that seamlessly integrate text and visuals to guide students through complex topics. New QR codes let students use their smart phones to link directly from figures in the book to figures in the Practice Anatomy Lab(TM) (PAL(TM)) virtual anatomy program, giving them additional views for learning bones and muscles. The end-of-chapter Study Outlines now have memory-triggering visuals to help students remember chapter content. This program presents a better teaching and learning experience and provides: *Text-art integration: New one- and two-page Spotlight Figures seamlessly integrate text and visuals to guide students through complex topics. Students study the Spotlight Figures in the book, and then instructors can assign them in MasteringA&P.
*Text-media integration: New QR codes in the chapters on the skeletal and muscular systems let students use their smart phones to link directly from figures in the book to figures in the Practice Anatomy Lab (PAL) virtual anatomy program, giving them additional views to help them learn bones and muscles. *Time-saving navigation and study tools: Enable students to better navigate difficult human anatomy topics through both the book and MasteringA&P. *Personalized learning with MasteringA&P: Engage students with new Spotlight Figure Coaching Activities and a wide range of other question and activity types - all automatically graded. Note: You are purchasing a standalone product; MasteringA&P does not come packaged with this content. If you would like to purchase both the physical text and MasteringA&P contact your Pearson representative. MasteringA&P is not a self-paced technology and should only be purchased when required by an instructor.
