Just because A&P is complicated, doesn’t mean learning it has to be. Anthony’s Textbook of Anatomy & Physiology, 21st Edition uses student-friendly writing, visually engaging content, and a wide range of teaching and learning support to ensure classroom success. Focusing on the unifying themes of structure and function and homeostasis, author Kevin Patton uses a conversational and easy-to-follow narrative to guide your students through difficult A&P material. The new edition of this two-semester text has been updated to ensure students have a better understanding of how the entire body works together. In addition, students can connect with the textbook through a number of free electronic resources, including an electronic coloring book, 3D animations, A&P Connect, and more!

    • More than 1,400 full-color photographs and drawings illustrate the most current scientific knowledge and bring difficult concepts to life. Includes a unique color key to show color scheme that is used consistently throughout the book (for example, bones are off white, enzymes are lime green, nucleus is purple).
    • NEW! Integrative Unit Summaries tie together content from previous units with upcoming concepts, providing a unique bridge from unit to unit, making the entire book more cohesive.
    • NEW! Additional and updated Connect It! articles (renamed from A&P Connect) provide relevant "bonus" information for students to explore.
    • Conversational writing style at a 11.7 reading level (the lowest available for 2-semester A&P books) makes text engaging and easy to understand.
    • NEW! More than 30 new 3D animations on the Evolve companion site provide a dynamic way to learn A&P concepts, unlike anything possible with static images.
    • Update! Genetics chapter includes important advancements in that field.
    • Update! Content on osmosis is revised to present concepts more simply and to clarify important nuances of osmosis.
    • UNIQUE! Consistent unifying themes, such as the Big Picture and Cycle of Life sections in each chapter, help students comprehend the interrelation of body systems and how the structure and function of these change in relation to age and development.
    • Numerous feature boxes including: Language of Science and Language of Medicine, Mechanisms of Disease, Health Matters, Diagnostic Study, FYI, Sport and Fitness, and Career Choices provide interesting and important sidebars to the main content.
    • Quick Check Questions reinforce learning by prompting students to review what they just read.
    • Chapter outlines, chapter objectives and study tips begin each chapter.
    • NEW! Integrative Unit Closers ties together content with integrative critical thinking questions.
    • NEW! Additional and updated Connect It! boxes (renamed from A&P Connect) provide relevant "bonus" information for you to explore.
    • NEW! All-new animations in the text and on Evolve companion site help you understand the reasoning and knowledge behind each answer and assist with recalling correct answers.
