Human Anatomy and Physiology

Guide students to focus on “big picture” concepts before exploring details

• New Text recall icons guide students to review specific pages where a concept was first introduced.

• A greater number of Making Connectionsquestions appear in every chapter (except Chapter 1), and challenge students to relate different concepts across body systems and chapters.
  Engage students in building visual literacy skills and interpreting visual information

• 6 New Focus Figures (for a total of 26) Focus Figures walk students through complex processes using exceptionally clear, easy tofollow illustrations with integrated text explanations. Focus Figure Coaching Activities can be assigned through Mastering A&P as figure walkthrough videos with assessments and/or as multi-part coaching activities. New Focus Figures can be assigned with new “mini animation” coaching activities in Mastering A&P and include:
  Fig 3.1 The Plasma Membrane
  Fig 11.4 Postsynaptic Potentials and Their Summation
  Fig 16.2 Stress and the Adrenal Gland
  Fig 18.2 The Cardiac Cycle
  Fig 21.1 An Example of a Primary Immune Response
  Fig 28.2 Fetal and newborn Circulation
  
  
• More than 30 In-Line Figures are strategically placed within the text to visually reinforce the text discussion. This innovation is the latest example of how the authors carefully integrate art and text, almost always presenting words and visuals on the same two-page spread so that readers can efficiently learn, visualize and remember concepts

• Support learners at every level, from novice to expert

• 13 additional Summary Tables present key information and serve as “one-stop shopping” student tools.
  Check Your Understanding sections in each chapter now include a greater variety and range of question types, including higher-level questions labeled Apply, Predict, What If?, Draw, and Make Connections questions. Dozens of new visual questions ask students to label structures or interpret visual information.
  “Draw” questions ask students to create visuals that reinforce important concepts by drawing a structure, annotating a figure, or creating a summary table. Students can check their work using the expanded answer key at the back of the text.
  47 Check Your Understanding questions include an illustration as part of the question and require students to practice visual literacy skills.
  
  
• NEW! All End-of-Chapter Review questions reinforce the main ideas of the chapter and are now organized into three levels of difficulty based on Bloom’s Taxonomy categories:
  Level 1: Remember/Understand
  Level 2: Apply/Analyze
  Level 3: Evaluate/Synthesize

Motivate and prepare students for careers in health care that require real-world problem solving

• Updated Career Connection videos feature real health care professionals and include assignable questions that ask learners to apply chapter content to examples from their everyday work as a nurse or—NEW!—as a physical therapist. Referenced at the beginning of each chapter with a “preview” image, students can view the videos through Mastering A&P.
  
  
• Updated Clinical Case Studies with new NCLEX-Style questions challenge students to apply knowledge to realistic clinical scenarios and appear at the end of chapters 5-29.
  
  
• NCLEX-Style questions have been added to each Clinical Case Study and give students practice answering the kinds of challenging questions that they will eventually encounter on a licensing exam. Students can practice answering these questions on their own or in collaboration with classmates. New NCLEX-Style questions are assignable in Mastering A&P.
  
  
• Updated Homeostatic Imbalance discussions alert students to the consequences of body systems not functioning optimally. Relevant photos have been added to selected discussions for visual reinforcement. These sections discuss many common pathological conditions as a way of clarifying and illuminating normal body function. Every Homeostatic Imbalance feature has an assignable clinical question in Mastering A&P.
  
  
• Relevant clinical photos have been added to selected discussions for visual reinforcement.
  Mastering A&P is not included. Students, if Mastering A&P is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN. 

Develop students’ 21st-century skills

• Focus Figure “Mini-Animation” Coaching Activities bring the 6 new Focus Figures to life and help students build visualization skills using short video segments. Additional multi-part coaching activities can be assigned for the book’s 20 other Focus Figures.
  
  
• Building Vocabulary Coaching Activities give students a fun way to learn word roots and A&P terminology while building and practicing important language skills. 
• Improved Concept Map Coaching Activities support the concept maps in the text and help students practice concept mapping skills without requiring them to submit their own concept map for grading.
  
  
• NCLEX-Style Questions give students practice answering the kinds of clinical problem-solving questions that will eventually appear on a licensing exam.
  
  
• Career Connection Video Activities feature real health care professionals and include assessment questions that apply chapter content to examples from everyday work as a nurse or—NEW!—as a physical therapist. Students can access the videos through Mastering A&P.
  
  

Give students plenty of opportunities for interactive practice and adaptive learning

• EXPANDED! Interactive Physiology 2.0 tutorials teach students complex physiology processes using exceptionally clear animations, interactive tutorials, games, and quizzes. IP 2.0 features new graphics, quicker navigation, and are mobile-friendly for learning on the go. New topics include Generation of an Action Potential and Cardiac Cycle. Students can access in the Mastering A&P Study Area, and instructors can assign through Mastering A&P.
• Interactive Physiology Animations from the original award-winning Interactive Physiology tutorial program have been converted to animations to accommodate learners using a wide range of web browsers and mobile devices. IP Animations are assignable as coaching activities in Mastering A&P. 

Instructors, save time preparing for class

• Ready-to-Go Teaching modules help instructors make efficient use of the best teaching tools before, during, and after class. Prepared by expert A&P instructors, each module includes a variety of teaching ideas to and ready-to-use resources for teaching 10 challenging course topics. Modules are accessible through the Instructor Resources area of Mastering A&P.
  
  
• Learning Catalytics™ helps generate class discussion, customize lectures, and promote peer-to-peer learning with real-time analytics. Learning Catalytics acts as a student response tool that uses students’ smartphones, tablets, or laptops to engage them in more interactive tasks and thinking.

Help students prepare for the A&P Lab and Study for Lab Practical tests

• Customizable Practice Anatomy Lab (PAL) Flashcards allow students to create a personalized, mobile-friendly deck of flashcards and quizzes using images from PAL. Students can generate flashcards using only the structures that your instructor has emphasized in lecture or lab.
• Updated Practice Anatomy Lab™ (PAL™ 3.1) is now accessible and available on all mobile devices. PAL 3.1 is an indispensable virtual anatomy study and practice tool that gives students 24/7 access to the most widely used lab specimens including human cadavers, anatomical models, histology, cats, and fetal pigs. PAL 3.1 also includes multiple-choice quizzes and practice fill-in-the-blank lab practicals.
