Written by Zerina Tomkins, this suite of titles provides a comprehensive guide to the human body for students with minimal prior understanding of bioscience. The books are designed to complement each other, providing a solid grounding in anatomy and physiology as well as a range of compelling real-life examples to enable students to apply their new knowledge to clinical practice.

Applied Anatomy & Physiology: an interdisciplinary approach lays the foundations, demystifying basic anatomy and physiology concepts through detailed case studies, concept maps, tables and high-quality images. The text focuses on ‘normal’ homeostatic processes, providing an overview of the structure and function of major body systems and how they integrate with the rest of the body.

Building on what has been learned in Applied Anatomy and Physiology, Integrating Systems: clinical cases in anatomy and physiology covers the integration of body systems in response to external challenges such as injury or sudden changes in the environment. This text provides a series of 20 real-life clinical scenarios, a mix of compensatory and more complex cases that help students consolidate their learning with questions, answers and rationales to aid with exam preparation.

Key Features

Applied Anatomy & Physiology: an interdisciplinary approach

  • Written for students with minimal bioscience background to support you in understanding difficult concepts and processes.
  • Chapters are aligned to major body systems and include an overview of system structure and function as well as integration of each system with the rest of the body.
  • Case studies and related multiple-choice questions consolidate chapter content to assist you in testing your knowledge and skills.
  • The strong focus on the homeostatic process of each system helps you to understand what is 'normal' and how 'normal' works.
  • Full-colour illustrations from leading Elsevier texts, such as Patton's Anatomy & Physiology, help you to visualise and understand A&P systems and processes.
