Anatomy & Physiology, Third Edition answers the demand for a leaner version of Elaine Marieb and Katja Hoehn's Human Anatomy & Physiology with less in-depth coverage of pregnancy, heredity, and the developmental aspects of various body systems, while keeping basic themes such as homeostatic imbalances strategically in place. This revised edition includes major updates to the content and figures based on current research findings. The text’s all new muscle art features more realistic, natural looking colors and textures, and its new “Check Your Understanding” questions follow major sections within each chapter and serve to reinforce and test students’ understanding of the major concepts of the section. Elaine Marieb’s instinct for providing colorful, dynamic explication of body-system anatomy & physiology creates a focused presentation of basic principles. For this new edition, Dr. Marieb has teamed up with co-author Katja Hoehn to produce this exciting text featuring extensive art development, text revisions, and thoroughly updated supplements and media resources. The Interactive Physiology® (IP) 10-System Suite CD-ROM is now also included, featuring the new immune system module.


  • Focus on homeostasis and concise clinical examples to meet the needs of students enrolled in allied health programs. These clearly identified discussions are an integral part of each chapter, helping students understand that disease is a result of homeostatic imbalance.
  • A dynamic, unsurpassed full-color art program illustrates anatomical structures and physiological processes in fine detail and complements the text. The text’s art features all new muscle art with realistic colors that are consistent in style from figure to figure.
  • Clearly identified, pedagogical features include chapter outlines with student objectives, figure questions that help reinforce illustrated concepts, and review questions at the end of each chapter. Students can find chapter summaries for each chapter on the book's website, download them easily, and print them out when needed for studying.
  • Illustrated tables provide one-stop study tools for easy comprehension.

  • Check Your Understanding questions follow major sections within each chapter and serve to reinforce and test students’ understanding of the major concepts of the section. Answers are found in the back of the book.
  • Major content updates include revised figures in the nervous system chapters to show a more realistic structure of voltage-gated ion channels, thorough presentation of dendritic cells as “professional” antigen-presenting cells, and dozens of updated information drawn from medical research advancements.
  • All new muscle art features more realistic, natural looking colors and textures, creating a consistent style from figure to figure.
  • NEW! Media Manager CD-ROMs organize all instructor and student media resources into one convenient easy-to-use package and contain the textbook’s art, photos, and tables, with customizable labels in PowerPoint®. Also included are fully customizable PowerPoint® lectures containing art and text for each chapter with quick links to Interactive Physiology® animations in a ready-to-use format for lecture presentations.
  • NEW!  The Interactive Physiology (IP) 10-System Suite now includes the eagerly-awaited 10th module on the Immune System. IP-10 appears on the CD-ROM packaged with the book, the Anatomy and Physiology Place companion website, myA&P with CourseCompass, and as PowerPoint® IP Slides in on the Media Manager.

For Elaine N. Marieb, taking the student's perspective into account has always been an integral part of her teaching style. Dr. Marieb began her teaching career at Springfield College, where she taught anatomy and physiology to physical education majors. She then joined the faculty of the Biological Science Division of Holyoke Community College after receiving her Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

While teaching at Holyoke Community College, where many of her students were pursuing nursing degrees, she developed a desire to better understand the relationship between the scientific study of the human body and the clinical aspects of the nursing practice. To that end, while continuing to teach full time, Dr. Marieb pursued her nursing education, which culminated in a Master of Science degree with a clinical specialization in gerontology from the University of Massachusetts. It is this experience, along with stories from the field—including those of former students, now in health careers—that has informed the development of the unique perspective and accessibility for which her texts and laboratory manuals are known.

In her ongoing commitment to students and her realization of the challenges they face, Dr. Marieb has given generously to provide opportunities for students to further their education. She contributes to the New Directions, New Careers Program at Holyoke Community College by providing several full-tuition scholarships each year for women returning to college after a hiatus or who are attending college for the first time and would otherwise be unable to continue with their studies without financial support. She funds the E. N. Marieb Science Research Awards at Mount Holyoke College, which promotes research by undergraduate science majors, and generously contributed to the University of Massachusetts at Amherst where she provided funding for reconstruction and instrumentation of a cutting-edge cytology research laboratory that bears her name.

In 1994, Dr. Marieb received the Benefactor Award from the National Council for Resource Development, American Association of Community Colleges, which recognizes her ongoing sponsorship of student scholarships, faculty teaching awards, and other academic contributions to Holyoke Community College. In May 2000, the science building at Holyoke Community College was named in her honor.

Additionally, while actively engaged as an author, Dr. Marieb serves as a consultant for the Benjamin Cummings Interactive Physiology¨ CD-ROM series, and is an active member of the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and Sigma Xi. Anatomy & Physiology, Second Edition is the latest expression of her commitment to student needs in their pursuit of the study of A&P.

 Katja Hoehn is an instructor in the Department of Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Sciences at Mount Royal College in Calgary, Canada. She received her M.D. (with Distinction) from the University of Saskatchewan, and her Ph.D. in Pharmacology from Dalhousie University. Dr. Hoehn has been a contributor to several books and has written numerous research papers in Neuroscience and Pharmacology.  In 1991, the Dalhousie Medical Research Foundation presented her with the Max Forman (Jr.) Prize for excellence in medical research.  During her 11 years at Mount Royal College, Dr. Hoehn has received numerous awards including a PanCanadian Educational Technology Faculty Award (1999), a Teaching Excellence Award from the Student’s Association of Mount Royal College (2001), and the Mount Royal College Distinguished Faculty Teaching award (2004).  She is also actively involved in the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS).
