Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology is designed to help you succeed in the challenging A&P course with an easy-to-understand narrative, precise visuals and steadfast accuracy. The authors incorporate research that explores how learners use and process visual information, guiding you through complex figures as you deconstruct and better understand complicated processes.

The 12th Edition delivers thoroughly updated content and enhanced art and figures to provide the most recent research and to support learning. An extensive diversity, equity and inclusion review ensures the content aligns with current standards related to diversity, equity, and inclusion and reflects all learners' lived experiences. Updates include improved sensitivity of the language throughout and discussions of gender and reproduction in the genetics and human development chapters.
