With its clarity of presentation, vibrant art palette, new student and instructor media supplements, and expanded focus on clinical material, the Sixth Edition of the best-selling text for the one-semester Human Anatomy course is better than ever! This award-winning textbook features an atlas-style format to showcase the art program, which is known for its appropriately detailed anatomical illustrations and exceptionally clear photographs of tissues and cadavers. Time-saving study tools help students arrive at a complete understanding of human anatomy.

 

Human Anatomy, Sixth Edition comes with a comprehensive media package, including the new Practice Anatomy Lab (PAL™) 2.0 media program; the new 3D Anatomy Animations with  Gradable Quizzes, the new 3D Animations of Origins, Insertions, Actions, and Innervations with Gradable Quizzesl; Media Manager 2.1, and an extensively updated and improved companion website. The Sixth Edition’s expanded clinical coverage is exhibited through an increased number of Clinical Notes and the addition of new Clinical Cases.

Award-winning art and photo program:

  • “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 illustrators’ careful renderings to photos 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. 
  • “Macro-to-Micro” art 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 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 other structure, a corresponding sectional view, and a photomicrograph.

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

Time-saving study tools:

  • Concept Check questions appear regularly throughout each chapter and allow students to check their comprehension of a completed section before moving on to the next one.
  • Concept Links, signaled with blue chain link icons, alert students to material that is related to, or builds upon, previous discussions. Each link refers students to a page number for a quick review of the relevant material from an earlier chapter.
  • End-of-Chapter 3-Level Learning System helps build student confidence and understanding through a logical progression from factual questions (Level 1) to conceptual problems (Level 2) to analytical exercises (Level 3). The variety of questions also gives instructors flexibility in assigning homework from the text. The 3-Level Learning System is carried through to the review exercises and quizzes on the myA&P™ companion website.
  • Unique, clearly presented embryology summaries provide students with a presentation of the formation of organs and structures during embryological development.

 

 

  • Increased clinical coverage is demonstrated through a greater quantity of and more visual emphasis on Clinical Notes in each chapter, appealing to students’ interests in practical and applied information.
  • The Clinical Notes embedded in the running narrative of each chapter present pathologies and their relation to normal physiological function, while the larger boxed versions address important medical or social topics.
  • Clinical Cases, found at the end of each chapter that closes a body system, lead students from a description of a patient’s symptoms, through the results of physical exams and lab work, through engaging questions that encourage them to review related content in the preceding chapters, through a brief analysis and interpretation of the case, and ultimately to the diagnosis.
  • Practice Anatomy Lab (PAL™)2.0 is an indispensable virtual anatomy practice tool that gives students 24/7 access to the most widely used lab specimens, including the human cadaver, anatomical models, histology slides, cat, and fetal pig. Each of the five specimen modules includes hundreds of images as well as interactive tools for reviewing the specimens, hearing the names of anatomical structures, and taking multiple choice quizzes and fill-in-the-blank lab practical exams. Specimen images are also linked to animations.
  • The superb art program is improved with brighter colors, increased contrast between colors, and more dimensionality. 
  • An increased focus on Embryology is achieved through the consolidation of the Embryology Summaries that previously appeared  with each body system throughout the book into two substantial sections of material in Chapter 3 (Tissues and Early Embryology) and Chapter 28 (Embryology and Human Development).
  • An enhanced and expanded chapter on Surface Anatomy and Cross-Sectional Anatomy (Chapter 12) includes a new section on the clinical importance of understanding surface anatomy as well as a new art-rich section on cross-sectional anatomy.  Seven new and subsequently enhanced cross-sectional images from the Visible Human Project give students another perspective on the human body.
  • A new lab manual, Michael G. Wood’s Laboratory Manual for Human Anatomy, with Cat Dissections, is illustrated by the same illustrators of Human Anatomy, Sixth Edition and is an ideal companion to this textbook (or any other Human Anatomy textbook). 
  • An enhanced media package features:
    • New Practice Anatomy Lab (PAL™) 2.0
    • 65 New 3D Animations of Origins, Insertions, Actions, and Innverations with Gradable Quizzes
    • 50 New 3D Anatomy Animations with Gradable Quizzes
    • Media Manager 2.1,  which includes a “shopping cart” functionality, “Quiz Game” chapter reviews (in PRS-enabled Clicker Question format), more than 50 new 3D Anatomy Animations with Quizzes in PRS-enabled Clicker Question format, 65 new 3D Animations of Origins, Insertions, Actions, and Innervations with Quizzes in PRS-enabled Clicker Question format,  customizable art includign all illustrations and photos from the text book,,  all tables from the textbook, a bank of additional images not included in the textbook, images from Martini’s Atlas of the Human Body, select Interactive Physiology® (IP) slides on anatomy topics,  Active Lecture Questions in PRS-enabled CLicker Question format,  customizable PowerPoint® Lecture Slides, and the Computerized Test Bank.
    • An extensively updated and improved companion website, which includes Chapter Guides, Chapter Quizzes, Chapter Practice Tests, the E-book of Human Anatomy, Sixth Edition, Practice Anatomy Lab (PAL™) 2.0, 3D Anatomy Animations with Gradable Quizzes, 3D Animations of Origins, Insertions, Actions, and Innervations with Gradable Quizzes, Get Ready for A&P Media Update, Study Tools, and a Gradebook.
