This item has been replaced by Human Anatomy & Physiology with IP-10 CD-ROM, 7/E .

With each edition of her top-selling Human Anatomy & Physiology text, Elaine N. Marieb draws on her own, unique experience as a full-time A&P professor and part-time nursing student to explain concepts and processes in a meaningful and memorable way. With the Seventh Edition, Dr. Marieb has teamed up with co-author Katja Hoehn to produce the most exciting edition yet, with beautifully-enhanced muscle illustrations, updated coverage of factual material and topic boxes, new coverage of high-interest topics such as Botox, designer drugs, and cancer treatment, and a comprehensive instructor and student media package.

 

Package Components

  • NEW!  InterActive Physiology® 9-System Suite CD-ROM
  • Student Access Kit for MyA&P (CourseCompass) and the Anatomy & Physiology Place companion website
  • REVISED! A Brief Atlas of the Human Body, Second Edition

 


  • A clear and inviting writing style uses everyday analogies to explain difficult concepts and hold students' attention.
  • The enhanced art program accelerates the learning process with large, clear anatomical figures, handy illustrated tables, consistent, color-coded flow charts, and realistic illustrations of microscopic structures.
  • Comprehensive clinical applications appear in Homeostatic Imbalance sections, Closer Look enrichment essays, and Critical Thinking and Clinical Application exercises to help students apply their knowledge to clinical situations.
  • Making Connections and Closer Connections summarize the relationships between body systems and their clinical implications.
  • Thorough beginning- and end-of-chapter pedagogy reinforces key concepts to help students truly understand the material instead of simply memorizing it.

  • Major updates to the text and figures throughout the book based on current research findings.
    • Nervous System chapters show a more realistic structure of voltage-gated ion channels based on crystallography data from a 2003 Nobel prize-winning investigator.
    • Presentation of dendritic cells as “professional” antigen-presenting cells in chapter 21, The Immune System. They are now featured in figures throughout the chapter, something that immunology texts contain, but that is new and unique to A&P books.
    • G-protein figures have been updated, clarified, and their presentation and description have been unified across several chapters – 3, 11, 15, 16, and 18.
    • Chapter 27, The Reproductive System includes updated discussions of myoid cells, seminal vesicles, prostate glands and prostate cancer, infertility, cervical and breast cancer, oogenesis, hormone regulation and interactions in the ovarian cycle, puberty, and menopause.
  • All new muscle art features more realistic, natural-looking color and texture that is consistent in style from figure to figure.
  • Powerful, user-friendly media including:
    • A Media Manager with every level of customizable content needed for class presentations and course materials.
    • InterActive Physiology® 9-System Suite, with a new module on the digestive system.
    • Anatomy 360°™, with easy-to-follow tutorials and quizzes that use real data from the Visible Human Project.
    • A more powerful MyA&P (MAP)™ with a comprehensive menu of study tools and self-assessment for every chapter.
    • A more versatile A&P Place that now includes the ability to assign quizzes and improved learning activities.
  • Updated “A Closer Look” boxes on transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (including mad cow disease), the benefits and dangers of Botox skin treatments, causes, diagnoses, and treatments of cancer, the abuse of designer drugs, and treatment of Alzheimer’s.
  • Clarification of topics in Chapter 11, Fundamentals of the Nervous System and Nervous Tissue, including: axonal transport mechanisms, resting membrane potential, refractory periods, myelination in action potential velocity, spatial locations of inhibitory and excitatory synapses, NMDA channels in postsynaptic potentiation, and purines (adenosine and ATP) as neurotransmitters/neuromodulators.  Chapter 15, The Special Senses has been extensively reorganized to begin with the best understood system (vision) and to draw parallels between it and olfaction and taste, which use similar transduction mechanisms.
  • New figure legend questions and answers have been added throughout each chapter, to help students develop observation and prediction skills.
  • New Chapter Review Questions appear in each chapter, including several new Critical Thinking and Clinical Application questions.

Elaine N. Marieb began her teaching career at Springfield College, where she taught A&P to physical education majors.  She then joined the faculty of the Biological Science Division of Holyoke Community College with a Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. As a result of her contact with her students at Holyoke Community College, many of whom were pursuing degrees in nursing, she developed a desire to better understand the relationship between the scientific study of the human body and the clinical aspects of nursing practice.  Still teaching 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. 

 

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).

This title is a member of the MyA&P Series, which also contains the titles below . You can also visit the MyA&P Series page.

    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.
