Principles of Anatomy and Physiology, 2-Volume Set, International Student Version

The thirteenth edition of the phenomenally successful Principles of Anatomy and Physiology continues to set the standard for the discipline. The authors maintained a superb balance between structure and function and continue to emphasize the correlations between normal physiology and pathophysiology, normal anatomy and pathology, and homeostasis and homeostatic imbalances. The acclaimed illustration program continues to be refined and is unsurpassed in the market. The thirteenth edition is fully integrated with a host of innovative electronic media, including a newly enhanced WileyPLUS course. No other text and package offers a teaching and learning environment as rich and complete.

· An innovative art program of generously sized illustrations each including a key concept statement and review question -- provides a consistent learning environment enabling students to make the connection between text and visual elements.
· A concise narrative, praised by students for its straightforward and easily comprehensible writing style, emphasizes scientific content over extraneous detail.

· Exhibits specially designed self-contained lessons -- provide students with the extra help needed to learn the numerous structures that constitute certain body systems most notably skeletal muscles, articulations, blood vessels and nerves.
