Features
# Superb Art Program features “Stepped” Figures that break down complex processes into easy-to-follow steps; large, clearly-labeled anatomy illustrations and photos that help students visualize structures; and simplified conceptual diagrams that provide “big picture” overviews of structure and function relationships.
# System in Perspective summaries appear at the end of each sequence of body system chapters to help students quickly review the structures and functions of each body system and its associated organs.
# Clinical Notes present relevant information on diseases and disorders to help students prepare for future workplace situations. These discussions are embedded in the running narrative to explain how pathologies relate to normal physiological function, and longer, “boxed” versions focus on core medical or social topics.
# Thorough Self-Review Tools includeConcept Checks that appear throughout the chapter to help students assess their understanding before moving on to the next topic; and end-of-chapterReview Questions that help students test their knowledge on facts and terminology (Level 1), concepts (Level 2), and critical thinking and clinical applications (Level 3).
# Vocabulary Development sections on chapter-opening spreads list the important word roots that will form the basis of the vocabulary in the chapter.
# Figure Locator Dots appear with every figure reference in the narrative and function as placeholders to help students return to reading after viewing a figure.
# Concept Links provide quick visual signals that new material being presented is related to topics presented earlier. They offer specific page numbers to facilitate review.
