DISCLAIMER: This could be considered as an individual E book and does not include entry card/code. McKinley/O’Loughlin/Bidle: Physiology & Anatomy: A Holistic Approach, 2e brings various facets of the study of A&P together in ways that enhance understanding. Textual explanations present structural details within the context of their practical significance to combine coverage of anatomy and physiology in every chapter. Chapters emphasize the interconnectedness of body systems by integrating previous coverage of one system into textual explanations of how other systems operate. These system relationships are also addressed in “Integrate: Concept Connection” boxes. All illustrations are meticulously crafted to support the textual narrative, and provide brief textual explanations to make the illustrations self-contained study tools. Specific “Concept Overview” diagrams in each chapter link together multi-faceted ideas in 1- or 2-page visual summaries. Applications are presented in “Integrate: Clinical View” boxes to apply chapter content using clinical examples that illustrate what can go awry in the body, to solidify comprehension of the “norm.” Critical Thinking questions in “What Do You Ponder?” engage students in application or analysis to prompt them to think more globally about the content; ‘What Did You Learn’ serve as mini self-assessments at the conclusion of each section that evaluate whether students have a sufficient grasp of the content before progressing. End-of-chapter “Challenge Yourself” assessments include ‘Do You Know the Basics”, “Can You Apply What You’ve Learned?”, and “Can You Synthesize What You’ve Learned?” question sets. Career paths pursued by students studying A&P are showcased at the beginning of each chapter. Regular analogies and practical tips for memory retention are provided in “Integrate: Learning Approach” boxes.
