Synopsis
This best selling work-text presents an overview of each body system and examines the integrated functions of those systems. It presents body structures and their relating functions in a concise format with enough detail for students. Revised and expanded, the text now includes important information on biochemistry and the functioning of human cells, tissue repair and the healing process, immunity and AIDS, genetics, and the role of nutrients, vitamins and minerals in health care and body maintenance. There is a four-colour insert with anatomical illustrations and expanded use of colour tables and figures for quick reference. There are over 450 review questions and assignments and 150 student activities that promote student comprehension and a glossary of more than 450 words with pronunciation guides. This book should be of interest to medical students, nurses and physiotherapists.

Review
"If I were teaching anatomy and physiology to the intended audience, I would seriously consider this book. It is, in my opinion, the most well written and its coverage is complete without being daunting. It is well organized and flows well from one section to the next. Many textbooks in this subject area attempt to be all things to all people, appearing overwhelming and becoming difficult to read, thus the usefulness to the student is lost. This one remains quite useful, yet quite simple. The authors have written a book that is poised to become the standard in its area."
