Anatomy & Physiology offers a streamlined version of Elaine Marieb and Katja Hoehn's best-selling Human Anatomy & Physiology text. The 26 unabridged chapters cover key A&P concepts required for success in nursing and allied-health careers while excluding coverage of pregnancy & human development, genetics, and the developmental aspects of body systems.
