Title overview

Anatomy & Physiology offers a streamlined version of Elaine Marieb and Katja Hoehn's best-selling Human Anatomy & Physiology text. The 26 unabridged chapters cover key A&P concepts required for success in nursing and allied-health careers while excluding coverage of pregnancy & human development, genetics, and the developmental aspects of body systems.

The 7th Edition provides more self-assessment questions to guide you in applying knowledge in clinical scenarios and in performing the critical thinking and problem-solving skills you'll need for entry to nursing, allied health, and exercise science programs.
