Anatomy & Physiology with IP-10

This book answers the need for a briefer version of Martini/Nath Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology for the two-semester anatomy & physiology course. While retaining the hallmark elements from the bigger book-complete body system coverage, key clinical discussions, a clear and straightforward writing style, and Martini's precise and proven art program-this slim edition does not include coverage of human development (pregnancy, embryonic and fetal development, heredity, and the effects of aging) and has a reduced number of within-chapter features. This slimmer version (still for the two-semester course) allows instructors to focus on the core science of anatomy & physiology. Accompanied by a complete supplements package tailored specifically to this slim edition, Anatomy & Physiology, Second Edition provides instructors and readers with a compact and efficient learning system. KEY TOPICS: An Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology, The Chemical Level of Organization, The Cellular Level of Organization, The Tissue Level of Organization, The Integumentary System, Osseous Tissue and Bone Structure, The Skeleton, Articulations, Muscle Tissue, The Muscular System, Neural Tissue, The Spinal Cord, Spinal Nerves, and Spinal Reflexes, The Brain and Cranial Nerves, Neural Integration, The Special Senses, The Endocrine System, Blood, The Heart, Blood Vessels and Circulation, The Lymphoid System and Immunity, The Respiratory System, The Digestive System, Metabolism and Energetics, The Urinary System, Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Balance, The Reproductive System. MARKET: Intended for those interested in gaining a basic knowledge of anatomy & physiology
