Anatomy and Physiology
From Science to Life
Anatomy and Physiology: From Science to Life, 2nd edition builds on the success of its first edition in providing solutions to recurring issues in A&P education – how to better motivate students and help them make the connection to what is important going forward; how to get students to see the forest for the trees; how to help students who lack study and critical thinking skills when they enter the course to succeed and develop these skills; how to make sure that adjuncts cover the key concepts throughout the course. Within this framework, the authors provide students with the knowledge and detail that is needed to move forward in allied health careers, but take the emphasis off of memorization and learning many disjointed facts. The entire text is focused on aiding critical thinking, conceptual understanding, and relevant application of knowledge when studying Anatomy and Physiology. From Science to Life, 2nd edition effectively blends print and media to bring the content to life for students. The conceptual focus allows for fewer pages in the printed text, making the text less intimidating to the uninitiated student. Accompanying media allows for a richer investigation of the content presented in the printed text, provides useful “background” knowledge, and ensures the students a solid reference resource when the course is complete.
-
Renowned and Award Winning Authorship – This unique author team puts years of classroom and content experience into this innovative Anatomy and Physiology resource. Jenkins, Kemnitz, and Tortora have over 75 years of combined classroom experience that they bring to their textbook.
-
The Art Program has been carefully developed to support the structure of the text. The entire art program and design of the book was created with attention to reinforcing the key concepts that are emphasized and help to provide relevancy for the students. The text includes hundreds of illustrations, cadaver photographs, micrographs and additional photographs.
-
Modular Design – Material is designed and presented in conceptual modules helping students to maintain focus on what they really need to know.
-
Chapter Stories/Scenarios – Written with a novel-like appeal, these introduce each chapter and are then used as a unifying tool throughout the chapter. These illustrated stories provide an innovative way to motivate students and make the relevant links between factual knowledge and practical application.
-
Structured Critical Thinking Exercises – Linked to each installment of the Chapter Story, these questions ask students to apply the science they have learned in the chapter to the life experience described in the story. Opportunities for students to think critically build as the chapter progresses, culminating in an end-of chapter summary exercise that helps them apply their newly developed skills to solve complex problems.
-
Integrated Media – Media available in WileyPLUS is organized by concept as well and provides related content to support a text concept; overviews, animations, and exercises from Wiley’s acclaimed Interactions series; and medical applications. For each chapter in the text, the students will find additional (often illustrated) concepts provided as needed to ensure a good reference package; a review quiz; and a list of clinical terminology. Other features include a full pronunciation dictionary, website and an option which allows the student to simulate an exam for practice.
-
Focused Package –As described in the supplement section, a rich array of resources are available to both students and instructors. Of particular value are the instructor guidelines for effectively integrating the case stories into the classroom experience.
