The new 2nd edition of "Anatomy and Physiology" is just what students need to learn introductory anatomy and physiology. A logical organization into 33 short chapters that separate system anatomy from physiology and allows flexibility in covering the body systems and allows for clear differentiation between structure and function. More than 750 full colour drawings and photographs, over 250 of which are new to this edition, help illustrate concepts more clearly. All figures contain figure titles to help identify at a glance the subject of the illustration. The book includes new chapters on Growth and Development and Genetics and Heredity; updated chapters include the lymphatic system and immunity cardiovascular system, nervous system and reproduction. Learning aids include: objectives, key terms with pronunciations, chapter summaries, review questions, and a glossary. Also available is an extensive ancilliary package.
