Spotlight Figures provide highly visual one- and two-page presentations of tough topics in the book, with a particular focus on physiology, that combine brief text with related figures and photos to communicate information in a visually effective and student-friendly format. The 8th Edition features at least one Spotlight Figure in every chapter along with a correlating Coaching Activity in Mastering A&P. Ten of the Spotlight Figures now also have accompanying videos in Mastering A&P and the eText.Build Your Knowledge boxes and Integration Figures coach students through the toughest part of A&P—physiology. These sections refer back to previously learned concepts to remind students of what they already know before introducing new information. Sections appear throughout the chapter and feature corresponding Reading Questions and Coaching Activities in Mastering A&P.58 Build Your Knowledge reading questions are based on Build Your Knowledge sections in the text that appear throughout each chapter. Reading questions ensure that students have the background knowledge needed to work more deeply with new content presented in the chapter.Clinical Notes appear within every chapter, expand upon topics just discussed, and present diseases and pathologies along with their relationship to normal function. These Clinical Notes relate directly to what students will encounter in their future careers. Corresponding questions are also assignable in Mastering A&P.Step-by-Step Figures break down multifaceted processes into numbered step-by-step illustrations that coordinate with the authors’ narrative descriptions. These easy-to-follow sequences in the book are also featured in Instructor Resources in Mastering A&P for instructors to use in classroom presentations.
