Main description:

Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach broke ground with its thorough coverage of molecular physiology seamlessly integrated into a traditional homeostasis-based systems approach. The new Fourth Edition, Media Update provides access to an expanded media package. The Fourth Edition, Media Update is automatically packaged with the newInteractive Physiology(R) (IP) 10-System Suite CD-ROM, and access to the revised companion website, which includes all the great resources from the Fourth Edition website plus: *Interactive Physiology with gradable quizzes, featuring a new module on the Immune System*PhysioEx 8.0 with gradable quizzes*The Get Ready for A&P Media Update*New interactive concept maps*Three new case studies and updates to the existing case studies (including a new interface)
