Anatomy, Physiology, & Disease: An Interactive Journey for Health Professionals provides an engaging introduction to interrelationships in A&P and pathology, with an emphasis on clinical applications. Conversational and humorous, the text uses real-world analogies to enable true understanding, rather than memorization, and to create lasting connections.
Two case studies are woven throughout the text. One follows a patient with diabetes, the other a patient with a spinal cord injury. Both illustrate key concepts and multisystem effects, while building critical-thinking skills.
The 3rd Edition presents the latest research and clinical applications in human A&P, plus new visual aids and practice opportunities. A workbook, available separately, offers interactive exam prep resources, including concept maps and crossword puzzles.
