A&P may be complicated, but learning it doesn't have to be! Anthony's Textbook of Anatomy & Physiology, 22nd Edition, uses a clear, easy-to-read approach to tell the story of the human body’s structure and function. Case studies and color-coded illustrations help students see the “Big Picture” of A&P and how the entire body works together. To jump-start learning, each unit begins by reviewing what students have already learned and previewing what they are about to learn. Short chapters simplify concepts with bite-sized chunks of information. Designed for two-semester high school A&P courses, this award-winning text includes a wide range of teaching and learning resources — such as 3-D animations, an online anatomy coloring book, and interactive exercises — to ensure classroom success.
