A&P may be complicated, but learning it doesn't have to be! Anthony's Textbook of Anatomy & Physiology, 22nd Edition, uses a clear, easy-to-read approach to tell the story of the human body’s structure and function. Case studies and color-coded illustrations help you see the “Big Picture” of A&P and how the entire body works together. To jump-start learning, each unit begins by reviewing what you have already learned and previewing what you are about to learn. Short chapters simplify concepts with bite-sized chunks of information. Written by a team of experts led by noted educator Kevin Patton, this award-winning text includes 3-D animations, an online anatomy coloring book, and interactive exercises to make learning even easier.

  • Conversational, storytelling writing style breaks down information into brief chapters and chunks of information, making it easier to understand concepts
  • 1,400 full-color photographs and drawings bring difficult A&P concepts to life and illustrate the most current scientific knowledge
  • The Big Picture and Cycle of Life sections in each chapter help you comprehend the interrelation of body systems and how the structure and function of these change in relation to age and development
  • Interesting sidebars and boxes include Language of Science and Medicine, Mechanisms of Disease, Health Matters, Diagnostic Study, FYI, Sports and Fitness, and Career Choices
  • Connect It! features call attention to online articles that expand on and apply A&P concepts
  • Learning features include outlines, key terms, and study hints at the start of each chapter
  • Chapter summaries, review questions, and critical thinking questions help you consolidate your knowledge after reading each chapter
  • Quick Check questions reinforce learning by prompting you to review what you have just read
  • Diverse illustrations and images reflect more accurately the wide spectrum of humanity
  • Comprehensive glossary on the Evolve companion website includes more terms than in similar textbooks, each with an easy pronunciation guide and simplified translation of word parts — essential features for learning to use scientific and medical terminology
  • NEW Microbiome chapter discusses the microbial systems that are essential for human development, immunity, and nutrition, relating microbiome dysfunction to autoimmune diseases such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, and fibromyalgia
  • NEW! Updated Career Choices boxes spotlight new individuals and their advances in the sciences
