Human Form, Human Function is the first essentials level text that
seamlessly weaves together form (anatomy) with function
(physiology), an approach that caters to how instructors teach and
students learn. Authors Tom McConnell and Kerry Hull incorporate
real-life case studies as the vehicle for learning how form and
function are linked. Through careful organization, thoughtful
presentation, and a conversational narrative, the authors have
maintained a sharp focus on communication: between body organs and
body systems, between artwork and student learning, between content
and student comprehension. Each feature reinforces critical
thinking and connects anatomy and physiology to the world of health
care practice. This original text offers an exceptional student
learning experience: an accessible and casual narrative style,
dynamic artwork, and a complete suite of ancillaries help build a
solid foundation and spark students' enthusiasm for learning the
human body. A companion website will include the full-text online,
Podcasts, an online Dissection Atlas, animations, additional review
questions, answers to some chapter questions, an online
Instructor's Manual, and PowerPoint slides. -- Case Studies: Each
chapter opens with a Case Study. Each of these cases, all of them
drawn from real patients, were selected to illustrate the most
important concepts discussed in the chapter and serves as the
thread that weaves anatomy and physiology together throughout the
chapter. -- Case Notes: Case notes follow sections of content. They
are specifically critical thinking questions that help the student
to apply the material they have just learned to the case. -- Case
Discussion: Appears near the end of each chapter; applies the
chapter concepts to the case in some detail; accompanied by a
figure/algorithm that helps students visualize the
interrelationships among various aspects of the case, such as the
breakdown in normal functions, the effect of medical treatment
given, etc. -- Need to Know: List of topics in the chapter opener
(chs 3-18) that the student needs to have mastered before delving
into the new material to encourage the student to fully understand
key topics before moving onto the next discussion. -- Major Themes:
Provide students with a quick overview of the most important
principles that govern the forms and functions discussed. --
Remember This: These statements occur within the narrative and
emphasize the most important ideas, help clarify concepts, or pull
together related ideas to help students remember certain important
facts. -- Pop Quiz: Tests students on topics covered within each
main section. Students can check themselves to determine whether
they have fully understood prior material, before going on to new
material. NOT the same as Case Notes. Case notes only relate to the
case and how the material in the section applies to that case. --
Word Parts Table Found at the end of each chapter identifies
prefixes, suffixes, and word roots relevant to the chapter content
to help assist students in their understanding of A&P
terminology. -- Chapter Challenge: Helps students check their
chapter comprehension and will help prepare them for exams; variety
of question types. -- Boxed Essays: These "sidebar" boxes present
intriguing information that complements the topics in the chapter:"
- History of Science : Describe discoveries, social issues, or
personalities important in the history of anatomy and physiology.
For example, a History of Science box in Chapter 1 discusses how
medical students of earlier eras sometimes resorted to
grave-robbing to obtain cadavers to study. - Basic Form Basic
Function : Explore intriguing aspects of human form or human
function. For example, a Fundamentals of Form and Function box in
Chapter 8 explores the question of whether or not we really have a
right brain and a left brain. - Clinical Snapshot : Explore a
disease, injury, method of diagnosis, or medical treatment related
to the chapter topic. For example, a Clinical Snapshot box in
Chapter 2 (chemistry) discusses medical uses of radioactivity.
