Anatomy Physiology And Pathophysiology For Allied Health

This introductory textbook provides the basic anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology content designed for the allied health student. The book provides students with the basic information for all the body systems.

Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathophysiology for Allied Health, Second Edition, is an introductory book to the body systems for allied health students. It acquaints students with basic information of all the body systems. The book speaks directly to the student, with chapter introductions, case studies, and chapter summaries written to engage the student’s attention.

Combining two separate textbooks entitled Essentials of Human Physiology for Pharmacy and Essentials of Pathophysiology for Pharmacy into one cohesive volume, this new book seamlessly integrates material related to normal human physiology and pathophysiology into each chapter. Chapters include: Study objectives at the beginning of each chapter; Summary tables, flow charts, diagrams, and key definitions; Real life case studies to emphasize clinical application and stimulate student critical thinking; An emphasis on the rationale for drug therapy; Simple, straightforward language. Written by authors with extensive teaching experience in the areas, Essentials of Human Physiology and Pathophysiology for Pharmacy and Allied Health is a concise learning instrument that will guide students in pharmacy and allied health programs.

One of the challenges for allied health students is correlating the information introduced in basic science classes to the clinical problems they see in the field. A good clinician in allied health is knowledgeable in anatomy, physiology, pathology and other science fields. They are able to quickly apply this knowledge to the clinical setting for good patient care. However, both students and instructors know that applying knowledge gleaned from basic science classes to their own clinical practice is not always easy. Using short vignettes, "Clinical Correlates in Anatomy and Physiology" illustrates clinical problems that align with the topics covered in a first year anatomy and physiology course. Students and instructors can use these vignettes to better understand the systems as they cover them in class. These illustrative examples pique student interest and serve as the basis for classroom discussion, as well as introduce the concepts of pathophysiology in the context of systems physiology. While designed for the allied health student, anyone with an interest in processes of health and disease will enjoy these short discussions illustrating clinical pathologies of systems physiology. Mary Katherine Lockwood received a B.S. in biology from Davidson College in North Carolina, an M.S. in physiology from the Pennsylvania State University, and a Ph.D. in public health with a concentration in nutrition and biological chemistry from the University of California, Los Angeles. Dr. Lockwood is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Biomedical Sciences at the University of New Hampshire, where she teaches anatomy and physiology and clinical nutrition. In addition, she is licensed in New Hampshire as an Instructor/Coordinator for Emergency Medical Services, teaches emergency medicine and CPR, and responds with a 911 ambulance service as an Advanced EMT.

"For all combined courses covering anatomy, physiology, and pathology in allied health programs, four year degree programs, military healthcare training centers, and other programs; for standard A&P I and II courses; and as an advanced high school courses. This engaging, conversational book introduces all the anatomy, physiology, and pathology concepts that students must master to succeed in the health professions. It's designed to promote true understanding, not mere memorization, and to help students make the lasting connections they need to thrive as practitioners. Throughout, well-placed "Pathology Connections" sections tightly link A&P concepts to pathologic processes. Analogies help students compare the human body to objects and processes they already understand, and illustrations and visual features support the visual learning style many of them prefer. This edition adds new web-based animations, videos, and interactive exercises to its fully integrated website. It also offers an easier-to-navigate text design; enriched illustrations and new photographs; and a new chapter on biochemistry."--Publisher's website.

Updated in content and pedagogy, this 14th Edition of Memmler’s the Human Body in Health and Disease has helped hundreds of thousands of allied health students, including those with little background in science, to master anatomy and physiology. From its pioneering use of phonetic pronunciations to its pedagogically effective skin-to-bone transparencies of the human body, and increased focus on visualization, the new edition continues to set the standard for the one-semester course. This classic text provides beautifully illustrated coverage of the essentials of human anatomy, physiology, and the effects of disease. Throughout the book, anatomical art illustrates concepts with accuracy, simplicity, and elegance; medical case studies enhanced with additional clinical content to demonstrate the relevance of the content to a career in the health professions; and proven pedagogy helps students master the anatomic and medical terminology they will encounter in healthcare settings.
