Renowned for its clarity and accessibility of writing style, this popular volume explains the fundamental principles of human anatomy and physiology while exploring the factors that contribute to disease process. Rich with helpful learning features such as Mechanisms of Disease, Health Matters, Diagnostic Study, and Sport and Fitness, this volume has been fully updated to make full reference to European healthcare systems, including drugs, relevant investigations and local treatment protocols. The also book comes with an extensive website facility (which includes a wide array of helpful lecturer resources) and accompanying Brief Atlas of the Human Body and Quick Guide to the Language of Science and Medicine.

Anatomy and Physiology, Adapted International Edition, will be ideal for students of nursing and allied health professions, biomedical and paramedical science, operating department practice, complementary therapy and massage therapy, as well as anyone studying BTEC (or equivalent) human biology.

  • Unique ‘Clear View of the Human Body’ allows the reader to build up a view of the body layer by layer

  • Clear, conversational writing style helps demystify the complexities of human biology

  • Content presented in digestible ‘chunks’ to aid reading and retention of facts

  • Consistent unifying themes, such as the ‘Big Picture’ and ‘Cycle of Life’ features, help readers understand the interrelation of body systems and how they are influenced by age and development

  • Accompanying Brief Atlas of the Human Body offers more than 100 full-colour transparencies and supplemental images that cover body parts, organs, cross sections, radiography images, and histology slides

  • Quick Guide to the Language of Science and Medicine contains medical terminology and scientific terms, along with pronunciations, definitions, and word part breakdowns for terms highlighted in the text

  • Numerous feature boxes such as Language of Science and Language of Medicine, Mechanisms of Disease, Health Matters, Diagnostic Study, FYI, and Sport and Fitness provide interesting and important side considerations to the main text

  • More than 1,400 full-colour photographs and spectacular drawings illustrate the most current scientific knowledge and help bring difficult concepts to life

  • Quick Check Questions within each chapter help reinforce learning by prompting readers to review what they just read

  • Chapter outlines, chapter objectives and study tips begin each chapter

  • Outline summaries, review questions, critical thinking questions, and case studies are included at the end of each chapter

  • Study Hints found throughout the text give practical advice to students about mnemonics or other helpful means of understanding or recall

  • Connect IT! features link to additional content online to facilitate wider study

  • Helpful Glossary and Anatomical Directions

  • Ideal for students who are new to the subject, or returning to study after a period of absence, and for anyone whose first language is not English
