NOTE: You are purchasing a standalone product; MasteringA&Pdoes not come packaged with this content. If you would like to purchase both the physical text and MasteringA&P search for ISBN-10: 0321981227/ISBN-13: 9780321981226. That package includes ISBN-10: 0321981227/ISBN-13: 9780321981226 and ISBN-10:0133983412/ISBN-13:9780133983418.
For courses in Human Physiology
An Integrated Science Needs an Integrated Approach
Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach broke ground with its thorough coverage of molecular physiology seamlessly integrated into a traditional homeostasis-based systems approach. The newly revised Seventh Edition includes new Phys in Action! Video Tutors that are accessible from the text and a wide range of engaging activities in MasteringA&P that are designed to bring the textbook to life, including new Interactive Physiology 2.0 Coaching Activities, Phys in Action! Coaching Activities, and Dynamic Study Modules.
Also available with MasteringA&P (R)
MasteringA&P is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach to engage students and improve results. Within its structured environment, students receive hints and wrong-answer feedback to practice what they learn, test their understanding, help them better absorb course material, and grasp difficult concepts.
