Description and Table of Contents
Description
This volume seeks to make the teaching and learning of basic anatomy and physiology enjoyable. Complex problems and difficult content are demystified and may be applied to common problems in health care. Special attention is given to the anatomy and physiology that is needed for an understanding of pathophysiology and pharmacology. The authors explain the underlying physiology of pathologic conditions in a common sense approach with early and frequent reference to specific clinical examples. Text and artwork are interconnected in the book. To ensure that the reading level is appropriate and consistent throughout, the authors use short sentences, concise explanations, simple terminology, and a logical step-by-step presentation.
