INDEX

Anatomy and Physiology is a complex subject spanning many health science disciplines. Principles of Anatomy and Physiology has always been recognized for its pioneering homeostatic approach to learning the subject. This International Adaptation of the 16th edition combines exceptional content and outstanding visuals for a rich and comprehensive classroom experience and continues to set the standard for the discipline. It has been paired with a comprehensive Study Guide, offering a thoughtfully designed course in Anatomy and Physiology. Highly regarded authors, Jerry Tortora and Bryan Derrickson motivate and support learners at every level, from novice to expert, and equip them with the skills they need to succeed in this class and beyond.

• Packaged as a set, comprising the textbook and single-colour study guide
• The study guide is designed to reinforce the learning from the textbook and build relevance to the concepts studied. It comprises:
• Chapter Review and features such as Clinical Connection, Disorders, and Medical Terminology
• Self-Quiz questions (with solutions)
• Solutions to Figure Questions

• New 3D Interactive visualizations to provide students with exciting animations that will allow students to quickly grasp key concepts.
• Signature homeostatic feedback cycle illustrations.
• Clinical Connections provide students with clinical, professional, and everyday relevance of anatomy and physiology.
• Disorders: Homeostatic Imbalances include concise discussions of diseases and disorders that emphasize departures from homeostasis.
• Focus on Homeostasis, a full-page summary following a chapter or several chapters for each body system helps students understand how each body system contributes to homeostasis.
• Medically-oriented Chapter Opening Questions with Illustrations are designed to motivate students to seek out the answer before reading the chapter.
