Anatomy & Physiology

Anatomy and Physiology seventh edition was designed to help students develop a solid, basic understanding of anatomy and physiology without an encyclopedic presentation of detail. Great care has been taken to select important concepts and to carefully describe the anatomy of cells, organs, and organ systems. The basic recipe that has been followed for seven editions of this text is to combine clear and accurate descriptions of anatomy with precise explanations of how structures function and examples of how they work together to maintain life. To emphasize the concepts of anatomy and physiology, the authors provide explanations of how the systems respond to aging, changes in physical activity, and disease, with a special focus on homeostasis and the regulatory mechanisms that maintain it. Timely and interesting examples demonstrate the application of knowledge in a clinical context.Objectives have been replaced entirely by greatly enhanced in-chapter review questions at ends of each section |Anatomical art has been upsized|Anatomical art now included labeled views and direction labels as needed|Comprehensive learning system. The infrastructure of pedagogical aids has been revised to round out a two-pronged approach to learning. Knowledge and comprehension level questions are balanced with questions that require more complex reasoning in both the narrative of the text and in the end-of-chapter exercises.|Review and Comprehension tests at the end of each chapter provide a battery of multiple-choice questions that cover all of the key points presented in the chapter for more recall practice.|Examples and analogies are included to help students grasp explanations of difficult concepts. Wording used in explanations has been simplified and/or smoothed out to improve readability.|The exhaustive set of 1000 transparency overheads includes every piece of line art and most photos from the textbook, plus 187 unlabeled images.|Digital Content Manager- This dynamic instructor CD replaces the former Visual Resource Library. The digital assets on this cross-platform CD-ROM are organized by chapter in an easy-to-use folder system.Art Library: Full-color digital files of all illustrations in the book (745 images), plus the same art saved in gray scale (745 images). These images are also pre-inserted into blank PowerPoint slides for ease of use. Unlabeled versions of 164 figures are included in both color and grayscale formats. Photo Library: Digital files of 160 instructionally significant photographs from the text- including cadaver, bone, histology, and surface anatomy images. Also includes 34 photos saved in unlabeled versions.Table Library: Every table that appears in the text is provided in electronic form (195 tables).PowerPoint Lecture Outlines: Ready-made presentations that combine art and lecture notes are provided for each of the 29 chapters of the text. Active Art Library: 41 pieces included (30 new, book specific/11 repurposed pieces from other texts)Animations Library: 45 full-color animations illustrating physiological processes are provided (30 new, book specific/15 repurposed animations from 6th edition).|Seeley was the first text to successfully integrate critical thinking.|More than any other pedagogical aid, students rely on review questions to help them prepare for exams and ensure that they understand the main concepts in the chapters.|The writing is more accessible to a broader base of users because the authors have addressed loosely written areas that may have confused students in the past.|Transparencies are still the #1 ancillary used by A&P instructors.|The most comprehensive instructor tool available in the A&P market. And it's simple to use!
