Marieb Human Anatomy & Physiology, 12th Edition, by authors Elaine Marieb and Katja Hoehn, is the leading human anatomy and physiology (A&P) textbook for the two-semester A&P course. Rather than memorizing concepts, you’ll develop the competence needed to apply A&P concepts to clinical scenarios and get ready for nursing and health science programs.

By observing patterns in body organization and homeostasis, along with cells and tissues, you’ll not only build a working A&P vocabulary but also draw connections between structure and function. As you go further, you’ll explore how body systems work together, including the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems; the special senses; the endocrine system; the blood, cardiovascular, lymphatic, and immune systems; and the respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.

The 12th Edition presents innovative ways of visualizing connections between concepts. Complete with new research and Focus Figures, as well as updated clinical features, the new edition shows how A&P concepts can be applied to patient care across healthcare settings.
