A&P comes to life with this exceptionally visual, multimedia approach. Begin with an overview of the body, including its chemical and cellular structures, then progress to one-of-a-kind portrayals of each body system, grouped by function. A wealth of full-colour illustrations, figures, sidebars, helpful hints, and easy-to-read descriptions make information crystal clear. Each unique page spread provides an entire unit of understanding, breaking down complex concepts into easy-to-grasp sections. Plus, the CD-ROM offers animations, interactive exercises, and audio pronunciations for a complete learning experience. This text includes an overview of the body, including chemical and cellular structures; body-system organization, grouped by function; a focus on visual appeal - perfect for all reading levels and preferences; rich, comprehensive coverage providing a firm foundation in anatomy & physiology; consistent pedagogical features in each chapter, including..."That Makes Sense" boxes use clever ways e.g., mnemonics or practical examples, to help readers remember the material; "Fast Facts" offer interesting points relating to the body system covered in the chapter; "Life Lesson" boxes use clinical examples to show how anatomy and physiology relate to one's daily living; "Review of Terms" define key words at the end of each chapter; Multiple-choice review questions; "Learning Target" exercises help students reinforce what they learned in each chapter; and, "The Body AT WORK" boxes provide a brief summary of physiologic processes.It also includes bonus CD-ROM, and electronic Study Guide (Mac/PC Compatible) featuring...animations of the physiology processes with narration; "Body Language" drag-and-drop labeling exercises; matching exercise for each chapter; audio glossary with pronunciations for terms in the text; "Heart Sounds" audio tracks of songs with printable lyrics; and, links to Student Resources on DavisPlus, including: "Test Yourself", Body Language", Animations, and, Audio Podcasts.
