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! 50 Spotlight Figures provide highly visual one- and two-page presentations of tough topics in the book, with a particular focus on physiology. In the Tenth Edition, there is now at least one Spotlight Figure in every chapter, as well as one corresponding Spotlight Figure corresponding to every A&P Flix.

• “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.

• “Illustration-over-Photo” Figures bring depth and dimensionality to the page and ensure that the illustrated structures are visually proportional in size to the human body.

• “Build-a-Body” System Integrators appear at the end of each body system to reinforce students’ understanding of the interconnections across all body systems.

Story-based clinical content

• NEW! 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 the deeper content knowledge students will have gained from the chapter. After students do complete a self-review using questions (andwith answers) in the book, they can work through the Book-specific Clinical Case Activities in MasteringA&P.

• 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.

• Related Clinical Terms appear at the end of every chapter and present additional clinical terms and definitions relevant to the chapter topic.

Time-saving Navigation and Study Tools

• NEW! The chapter-opening numbered Learning Outcomes are now repeated below the coordinated numbered chapter headings to drive home the connection between the HAPS-based Learning Outcomes and the associated teaching points. These Learning Outcomes are also presented on each chapter-opening page, indicating to students what they should be able to do after studying the chapter. Additionally, the assessments in MasteringA&P are organized by these Learning Outcomes.

• Full-sentence chapter headings do more than introduce new topics: They state the core fact or concept that will be presented in the section. These nu

This title is available with MasteringA&P, an online homework, tutorial, and assessment product designed to work with your Pearson text to personalize learning and improve results. With a wide range of interactive, engaging, and assignable activities, students are encouraged to actively learn and retain tough course concepts.

Personalized learning with MasteringA&P®

• NEW! Spotlight Figure Coaching Activities are highly visual, assignable activities designed to bring interactivity to the Spotlight Figures in the book. Multi-part activity types include ranking and sorting types, which ask students to manipulate the visuals.

• NEW! Book-specific Clinical Case Activities stem from the story-based Clinical Cases that appear at the beginning and end of each chapter in the book.

• NEW! Adaptive Follow-up Assignments give instructors the ability to assign adaptive follow-up assignments to students for select titles. Content delivered to students as part of adaptive learning is automatically personalized for each individual based on strengths and weaknesses identified by his or her performance on Mastering parent assignments.

• NEW! Mastering’s new Dynamic Study Modules are a highly efficient learning application instructional method that helps students acquire, retain, and recall information faster and more effectively than ever before.

• Dynamic Study Modules personalize the learning experience for each student to maximize study time and ensure long-term retention of the material.

• Each study module first assesses the student's knowledge of a concept and his or her level of confidence in that knowledge.

• As the student progresses through the modules, the application adjusts what the student sees according to strengths and weaknesses until all content is mastered.

• Completed modules are available for review or rework.

• Dynamic Study Modules are a highly efficient learning application instructional method that helps students acquire, retain, and recall information faster and more effectively than ever before. The modules are available as a self-study tool or can be assigned by the instructor.
