 Colorful cartoons, engaging learning aids, and an easy-to-read approach make it enjoyable to learn A&P! Herlihy’s The Human Body in Health and Illness, 7th Edition introduces your students to the anatomy and physiology concepts needed for effective clinical practice. Organized by body systems, this text simplifies the often-intimidating subject of A&P with clear, step-by-step explanations, hundreds of full-color drawings, fascinating anecdotes, relevant clinical examples, and vivid online animations. It illustrates how each organ system is designed to function — and what happens when a system fails. Designed for one-semester courses, Herlihy is an ideal solution for students whose background in the sciences is limited.
