Human Anatomy and Physiology speaks to the way today’s students learn and study and brings A&P to life with student-friendly writing and just-in-time coaching. The learner-centered approach uses art to guide you through complex A&P topics, one-concept-at-a-time, before bringing the parts together in a summarizing Big Picture figure.

The 3rd Edition builds on this one-concept-at-a-time approach to visually unpack concepts and help focus you on key concepts. New and revised Concept Boost and Study Boost discussions demystify challenging topics, expanding Amerman’s successful approach to coaching you to success in A&P and beyond.
