  • NEW: 4 Spotlight videos, narrated by author and anatomical art expert Kevin Petti, walk students through complex physiology figures to help students deconstruct and understand complicated processes
  • Spotlight Figure Coaching Activities bring interactivity to select Spotlight Figures as highly visual, interactive, multi-part activities with ranking and sorting questions.
  • NEW & UPDATED: Dynamic Study Modules reflect new content and now include shadow questions to prevent students from memorizing questions. Gap Finder: A&P Diagnostic assesses prerequisite knowledge in 5 areas: Study Skills, Math, Chemistry, Cell Biology and Biology Basics.
  • NEW: TEAS, HESI and assignable NCLEX-style questions help students prep for nursing school entrance exams with multiple-choice questions that include wrong-answer feedback.

Features of Pearson eTextbook for the 12th Edition

  • NEW: 8 SmartArt Animations build on the extensive Martini/Nath legacy of using media to help students navigate complex art. These new animations take students through some of the toughest topics in physiology, including Renal Function and Hormonal Regulation of Female Reproduction.
  • NEW: Assignable tutorials help support students at the beginning of the anatomy & physiology course, when they struggle to onboard in critical thinking, study skills, growth mindset, and basic scientific literacy in chemistry and biology topics.
  • SmartArt videos, narrated by author and anatomical art expert Kevin Petti, walk students through complex physiology figures. These interactive versions of popular text features help students deconstruct and better understand complicated processes.
  • Histology videos include 10 new videos of histology tissues and provide short, focused walkthroughs of commonly covered tissue types in A&P.
  • Bone and Organ Dissection Videos include 32 Bone Videos and 36 Dissection Videos that cover major bone and organ dissections to help students prepare for lecture and lab.
