Admired and respected for its outstanding illustrations, the Fourth Edition of Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology with IP-10 CD-ROM provides students with easy-to-follow explanations of core concepts and a practical reference for future coursework for healthcare careers. Features such as Clinical Notes and the new Professional Profiles engage students by showing them how the information they have learned is applied to workplace situations. Crafted especially for students with no prior knowledge of anatomy & physiology, Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology with IP-10 CD-ROM provides a solid framework for interpreting and applying information, and is now available with the Interactive Physiology®(IP) 10 System Suite CD-ROM. 


  • Superb Art Program features “Stepped” Figures that break down complex processes into easy-to-follow steps; large, clearly-labeled anatomy illustrations and photos that help students visualize structures; and simplified conceptual diagrams that provide “big picture” overviews of structure and function relationships.
  • System in Perspective summaries appear at the end of each sequence of body system chapters to help students quickly review the structures and functions of each body system and its associated organs.
  • Clinical Notes present relevant information on diseases and disorders to help students prepare for future workplace situations. These discussions are embedded in the running narrative to explain how pathologies relate to normal physiological function, and longer, “boxed” versions focus on core medical or social topics.
  • Thorough Self-Review Tools include Concept Checks that appear throughout the chapter to help students assess their understanding before moving on to the next topic; and end-of-chapter Review Questions that help students test their knowledge on facts and terminology (Level 1), concepts (Level 2), and critical thinking and clinical applications (Level 3).
  • Vocabulary Development sections on chapter-opening spreads list the important word roots that will form the basis of the vocabulary in the chapter.
  • Figure Locator Dots appear with every figure reference in the narrative and function as placeholders to help students return to reading after viewing a figure.
  • Concept Links provide quick visual signals that new material being presented is related to topics presented earlier. They offer specific page numbers to facilitate review.

    •  

  • Key Notes organize core concepts in anatomy & physiology. These factual statements are highlighted with an icon and appear at appropriate points throughout the text. 

  • Professional Profiles give students insight into health-related careers that require a basic understanding of anatomy & physiology. These enlightening interviews appear at the end of each body system and include profiles for nursing, massage therapy, and dental assisting. 

  • 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, myA&P™  with CourseCompass, and as PowerPoint® IP Slides in on the Media Manager.

  • The Anatomy and Physiology Place open-access companion website includes chapter-correlated vocabulary practice, labeling activities, animations, case studies, quizzes, and practice tests.

  • MyA&P, an online learning tool for students and a course management system for instructors, is now offered as an optional supplement to with the text.

  • Instructor Media Manager CD-ROMs, combine instructor and student media into one convenient, chapter-by-chapter resource package and include all of the art and photos from the book with customizable labels. Precision Art selections featuring step-by-step PowerPoint® “slide show” views of the book’s complex art, customizable PowerPoint® lecture slides, over 180 animations, select tables from the book, and links to online student activities and tutorials. All resources are listed and organized in a handy Quick Reference Guide, and thumbnail views of the art and media are displayed in a separate, printed Instructor’s Visual Guide.

    Dr. Frederic (Ric) Martini received his Ph.D. from Cornell University in comparative and functional anatomy for work on the pathophysiology of stress. His publications include journal articles and contributed chapters, technical reports, and magazine articles. He is the lead author of six other undergraduate texts on anatomy and physiology or anatomy, and has a feature column, “Back to Basics,” in Physician License and Practice Today, a quarterly publication for medical students and residents. He is currently affiliated faculty of the University of Hawaii at Manoa and remains connected with the Shoals Marine Laboratory, a joint venture between Cornell University and the University of New Hampshire. Dr. Martini has been active in the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) for 15 years, and was a member of the committee that established the course curriculum guidelines for A&P. He is now a President Emeritus of HAPS after serving as President-Elect, President, and Past-President over 2004—2007. He is also a member of the American Physiological Society, the American Association of Anatomists, the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology, the Australia/New Zealand Association of Clinical Anatomists, the Hawaii Academy of Science, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the International Society of Vertebrate Morphologists.

     

    Edwin F. Bartholomew received his undergraduate degree from Bowling Green State University in Ohio and his M.S. from the University of Hawaii. His interests range widely, from human anatomy and physiology to paleontology, the marine environment, and “backyard” aquaculture. Mr. Bartholomew has taught human anatomy and physiology at both the secondary and undergraduate levels and a wide variety of other science courses (from botany to zoology) at Maui Community College. He is presently teaching at historic Lahainaluna High School, the oldest high school west of the Rockies. He has written journal articles, a weekly newspaper column, and many magazine articles. Working with Dr. Martini, he coauthored Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology Structure and Function of the Human Bodyand The Human Body in Health and Disease (all published by Benjamin Cummings). Mr. Bartholomew is a member of the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society, the National Association of Biology Teachers, the National Science Teachers Association, the Hawaii Science Teachers Association, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
