Filled with compelling case studies that connect key content to
real-world health care scenarios, Memmler's Structure and Function
of the Human Body , 11th Edition, provides easy-to-understand,
beautifully illustrated coverage of the essentials of normal
anatomy and physiology. The first text designed specifically to
meet the needs of allied health students, this acclaimed resource
has evolved over the years to address changing course requirements
and student needs. This edition continues the tradition with a new,
more accessible design, a wide range of new study tools, and a
robust multimedia electronic ancillary package for both instructors
and students. Throughout the book, anatomic art illustrates
concepts with accuracy and simplicity; case studies highlighting
anatomy and physiology demonstrate the relevance of the content to
a career in the health professions; and hallmark pedagogy blends
remediation, reinforcement, and real-world focus to ensure student
success. * Personalized chapter-by-chapter quizzes powered by PrepU
help students learn more and improve their pass rates on exams,
while giving instructors a window into their students' progress by
pinpointing misconceptions, strengths, and weaknesses. * A&P in
Action boxes open each chapter with a scenario that integrates
chapter content into a medical setting, bringing the information to
life for students. * A&P in Action Revisitedboxes , which
appear later in the chapter, expand on the opening scenario and
encourage students to apply the chapter's concepts to the outcome
of each case. * A full-body The Body Visible transparency insert
assists students in performing a virtual dissection of the human
body from skin down to bone and allows them to test themselves on
their understanding of skin, muscles, bones, veins/arteries, etc.
New associated chapter questions deepen student understanding. *
New Process Diagrams ensure student mastery by calling out and
illustrating the steps of a complex process, such as negative
feedback control for maintaining homeostasis. * New Cadaver
Photograph-related Questions help students apply anatomic knowledge
to novel situations. * New Casepoints (in-chapter review questions)
link content to the opening case study. * New Critical Thinking
Questions that challenge students to apply concepts to the A&P
in Action case study help them to understand how basic concepts of
anatomy and physiology relate to clinical situations. * New
Misconception Alerts , marked by an icon, point out common student
misconceptions (identified by the PrepU adaptive quizzing program)
to improve understanding of important ideas. * New One Step at a
Time features expand on basic science concepts introduced in the
case study or the text by walking students step-by-step through
higher level critical thinking activities, such as developing
scientific learning and problem-solving skills. * Checkpoint
questions throughout each chapter help students review key points.
* Hot Topicsboxes focus on cutting-edge topics and research,
reinforcing the link between anatomy and physiology and everyday
life. * Clinical Perspectives boxes focus on diseases and disorders
related to the chapter, helping students understand what happens
when the normal structure-function relationship breaks down. *
Health Maintenanceboxes offer useful information on how to keep the
body healthy. * A Closer Lookboxes provide in-depth scientific
detail on selected topics. * Zooming In questions in the figure
captions allow students to test their understanding of important
visual aspects of the illustration. * A Look Backfeature provides a
short paragraph highlighting content from prior chapters that will
help students understand the current chapter. * Learning Objectives
identify the important content to learn in each chapter. * A strong
conceptual focus is reflected in more illustrations of basic
biologic concepts and more learning diagrams that take students
step-by-step through complex processes, such as sensory pathways,
cardiac function, and nerve impulse transmission. * Ancillary
callouts identify additional resources available online, such as
animations, supplementary figures, a quiz bank, and health career
information to enhance learning. * End-of-chapter study aids
include a summary overview (visual outline), key terms
(end-of-chapter list), a word anatomy (medical terminology)
activity, and questions for study and review that test recall,
comprehension, and critical thinking with a variety of question
styles, including fill-in-the-blank, multiple-choice, short-answer,
and short essay, as well as questions that require students to
apply body process and system knowledge to the chapter-opening case
study.
