A superb introductory anatomy and physiology text, STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE BODY presents core anatomy and physiology principles around two central and unifying themes: the normal structure and function of the human body and homeostasis. Elaborate full-color illustrations, centralized themes, simplistic language, and solid learning features encourage student comprehension of the material. Several new features help bring anatomy and physiology concepts to life: Health and Wellness Boxes, Study Tips with collaborative learning activities, a Student Survival Guide and interactive Panorama of Anatomy and Physiology CD-ROM free with every softcover book, and the MERLIN WebLinks with related web page.
