Seeleys Anatomy Physiology

Designed for the one-semester course, Seeley's Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology is written to allow instructors the ability to accomplish one overall goal: to teach the basics of AAndP while fostering the skill of problem solving. Through learning how to solve problems and think critically, students learn AAndP based on two themes: the relationship between structure and function, and homeostasis. .

This new textbook will compete in both the slim segment and the full two-semester market. It will be a briefer, less-expensive alternative for instructors who have always liked Seeley et als Anatomy and Physiology but struggled with the depth of the textbook, covering all of the necessary basics of anatomy and physiology.

This text is written for the two semester anatomy & physiology course. The writing is comprehensive, providing the depth necessary for those courses not requiring prerequisites, and yet, is presented with such clarity that it nicely balances the thorough coverage. Clear descriptions and exceptional illustrations combine to help students develop a firm understanding of the concepts of anatomy and physiology and to teach them how to use that information. Great care has been taken to select important concepts and to perfectly describe the anatomy of cells, organs, and organ systems. The plan that has been followed for ten editions of this popular text is to combine clear and accurate descriptions of anatomy with precise explanations of how structures function and examples of how they work together to maintain life. To emphasize the concepts of anatomy and physiology, the authors provide explanations of how the systems respond to aging, changes in physical activity, and disease, with a special focus on homeostasis and the regulatory mechanisms that maintain it. This text has more clinical content than any other A & P book on the market.
