Anatomy, Physiology, & Disease is an engaging introduction to the link between A&P and pathology, with an emphasis on clinical applications. Conversational and humorous, it uses real-world analogies to support understanding over memorization.

The authors will help you make lasting connections. One way they do this is by weaving two case studies throughout the text to illustrate key concepts and multisystem effects. One of the case studies follows a patient with diabetes, the other a patient with a spinal cord injury.

The 4th Edition incorporates major changes in health care, such as those prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes two new appendices referencing common diagnostic tests and medications.
