This title is a Pearson Global Edition. The Editorial team at Pearson has worked closely with educators around the world to include content which is especially relevant to students outside the United States. Text-art integration · NEW! SmartArt Videos, narrated by author and anatomical art expert Kevin Petti, walk students through complex physiology figures. The videos help students deconstruct and better understand complicated processes, and provide additional background and detail. SmartArt QR codes appear in the book, providing easy access to the videos. Accompanying assignments are available in MasteringTM A&P. · NEW! The Art of Teaching A&P: Six Easy Lessons to Improve Student Learning written by author and award-winning teacher Lori Garrett, addresses common challenges students encounter when navigating complex art in textbooks. This handbook-style teaching resource presents each challenge and provides an explanation of the issue, context, and relevant research. Garrett then offers strategies for instructors on how to most effectively overcome these challenges. If they haven’t already received a copy, instructors can request the handbook from their local Pearson representative. · NEW! “Build-Your-Knowledge” features show how each body system influences the others. As students progress through the book, they are able to build their knowledge about how the body systems work together to maintain homeostasis. · NEW! Tips & Tools boxes are brief and concrete learning tools that give students simple analogies and easy memory devices to help them remember facts and concepts. · 50 Spotlight Figures provide highly visual one- and two-page presentations of tough topics in the book, focus on physiology, and showcase text-art integration for easier reading and studying. Instructors can assign Spotlight Figure Coaching Activities in Mastering A&P. · “Side-by-Side” Figures provide students with multiple views of the same structure, typically pairing an artist’s drawing with a cadaver photograph taken by renowned biomedical photographer Ralph Hutchings. This approach allows students to compare the illustrator’s careful rendering to a photo of the actual structure as it might be seen in the laboratory or operating room. · “Step-by-Step” Figures break down multifaceted processes into step-by-step illustrations that coordinate with the authors’ narrative descriptions. These easy-to-follow sequences in the book are also featured on the Instructor’s Resource DVD (IR-DVD) with a “Step Edit” function that makes it easy for instructors to present the material in classroom presentations. · “Macro-to-Micro” Figures help students to bridge the gap between familiar and unfamiliar structures of the body by sequencing anatomical views from whole organs or other structures down to their smaller parts. A typical illustration might combine a simple orientation diagram (indicating where an organ or structure is located in the human body) with a large, vivid illustration of that organ or structure, a corresponding sectional view, and a photomicrograph. Clinical Content includes: · UPDATED! Clinical Cases get students motivated for their future careers. Each chapter opens with a story-based Clinical Case related to the chapter content and ends with a Clinical Case Wrap-Up that incorporates deeper content knowledge students will have gained from the chapter. After students complete a se

Pearson MasteringTM A&P not included. Students, if Mastering is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN and course ID. Mastering should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information. · Ready-to-Go Teaching Modules in the Instructor Resources section help instructors efficiently make use of the available teaching tools for the toughest topics. Before-class assignments, in-class activities, and after-class assignments are provided for ease of use. Instructors can incorporate active learning into their course with the suggested activity ideas and clicker questions or Learning Catalytics questions. · SmartArt Videos help students better navigate key, complex pieces of art. Author Kevin Petti brings his expertise in anatomical art to narrate explanatory videos that walk students through select pieces from the book, providing additional background and detail. The videos can be accessed via QR codes in the book and offer accompanying assignments through Mastering A&P. · Mobile-ready Interactive Physiology 2.0 helps students advance beyond memorization to a genuine understanding of complex physiological processes. Full-color animations and videos demonstrate difficult concepts to reinforce the material. IP 2.0 features brand new graphics, quicker navigation, and more robust mobile-ready interactivities where students can explore, experiment, and predict. New IP 2.0 modules include Resting Membrane Potential, Electrical Activity of the Heart, Cardiac Output, Factors Affecting Blood Pressure, Generation of an Action Potential, and Cardiac Cycle. · All of the assignments from Wood’s Laboratory Manual for A&P featuring Martini Art, 6th Edition are now included a
