Introductory chapters are included on concepts that affect all body systems to provide a foundation for understanding disease processes.
Anatomy and physiology are reviewed for each body system to provide a basis for understanding the alterations in function affecting that system.

Outlines with page numbers at the beginning of each chapter help students focus on the most important concepts and provide easy access to chapter content.
Study questions are provided for every chapter to help students review material and assess their knowledge and understanding. Answers are included for immediate feedback.
