Reinforce your understanding of the concepts in Patton’s The Human Body in Health & Disease! Corresponding to the chapters in the text, this study guide reviews essential medical terminology, concepts, and processes related to anatomy and physiology, and explains how body systems function in health and disease. Each chapter begins with a quick synopsis of the key points in the textbook chapter. A variety of exercises make it easier to review and apply key concepts, and labeling of anatomy drawings helps in learning anatomical terms and structures.

    • Know your Medical Terms feature helps familiarize you with the various word parts used in medical terminology and pairs nicely with the Language of Medicine word lists in the main text to reinforce medical terminology concepts that are key to understanding A&P
    • Brief synopsis of core textbook concepts provides a comprehensive review of essential content
    • Crossword Puzzles and Word Finds help you master new vocabulary terms
    • Application Questions ask you to make judgments based on the information in the chapter
    • Diagrams and labeling exercises help reinforce where the structures of the body are located
    • Matching and fill-in-the-blank exercises aid in understanding chapter content
    • Answers to exercises are provided in the back of the guide, along with references to the appropriate textbook page and the textbook objective, so that you can easily find where the material is presented
    • Study tips in the Preface provide an overview of the most effective methods for learning and retaining information

      • No information about nonvisual reading is available
    • Conformance
    • Navigation
      • Table of contents to all chapters of the text via links
    • Rich Content
      • No information is available

    • Additional Accessibility Information
      • For readers with color vision deficiency, use of color (e.g., in diagrams, graphics and charts, in prompts, or on buttons inviting a response) is not the sole means of graphical distinction or of conveying information
      • E-publication includes basic navigation (usually less detailed than TOC-based navigation)
      • Where links, controls or buttons are included in the content, the purpose or functionality of each link, control or button is apparent from the associated text alone - or where it is unclear, separate link, control or button descriptions are provided
      • All (or substantially all) textual matter is arranged in a single logical reading order (including text that is visually presented as separate from the main text flow, e.g., in boxouts, captions, tables, footnotes, endnotes, citations, etc.). Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
      • The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
