Synopsis

This book is intended for students in allied health science programmes. The straightforward writing style, learning aids, illustrations, teaching and learning packages, and anatomy and physiology coverage at the introductory level offer students a working knowledge of the human body. Features of the book are that the themes of homeostasis and pathology are retained in this edition, that student objectives are now numbered and that further reading lists are included at the end of each chapter. New to this edition are medical tests in most chapters; a general updating throughout of topics such as AIDS; new scanning electronmicrographs and other views at the tissue level; revised physiology sections; chapter outlines; study outlines and review questions at the end of each chapter; updated material on disorders; and three helpful listings - abbreviations, eponyms used in this text, terms used in prescription writing.
