With Anatomy & Physiology for Emergency Care, Dr. Bledsoe builds upon the popular Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology, by Frederic H. Martini and Edwin F. Bartholomew. The result is a resource with essential A&P instruction to study emergency care, along with direct applications, clinical correlations and critical-thinking opportunities.

The text gives you a framework for interpreting and applying information, plus a basic understanding of common injuries and illnesses. Conceptual overviews examine “big picture” relationships between anatomical structures and their function. Step-by-step diagrams break down complex processes into easy-to-follow steps.

The 3rd Edition has been revised with new clinical discussions and dozens of new figures, illustrations and photographs. The clinical correlation material now appears next to the topic being discussed.
