Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach engages you in developing an understanding of human physiology and in moving beyond memorization as you learn to think critically in solving real-world problems. The foundation of Dr. Silverthorn's approach is her active learning instruction style that integrates big picture themes with up-to-date cellular and molecular physiology topics.

The 8th Edition features new Try It activities that present a real-world research problem or a classic experiment and guide you in thinking like a scientist. Updated Focus on…Graphing activities engage you in active learning and Focus on…Mapping helps you in creating concept maps.
