Anthony's Textbook of Anatomy & Physiology

By Kevin T. Patton and Gary A. Thibodeau

Book Overview

ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY is an accurate, up-to-date introductory text on human form and function. It presents a large, complex body of scientific knowledge in an easily understood conversational writing style; it focuses on concepts rather than just descriptions to help students unify information. Critical thinking learning opportunities are integrated throughout. The text uses a "big picture" theme of body function and also explains the body's homeostatic regulation. Many pedagogical features and hundreds of 4-color illustrations enhance the narrative.

STUDENT FRIENDLY

The AP book is an International version and everything is the same as the orginal version. It is student friendly colorful and well writen in laymans terms.

Good condition

i was happy with the quality of the book, would have loved a better price but it is a very big book so i understand the cost. Came in expected time. Good service.

Good Textbook

I think it was wrote very precisely and easy to be understood. The price was also resonable.

Anatomy book that helped me in my anatomy class

I found the pictures in this book and the writing to be very helpful in understanding A and P. I'm a nursing student and at first found A and P rather to be overwhelming. However, this book explains things in a way that allievated a lot of my past anxiety about the subject. Another recommendation: Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers Volume 1 and 2. These study guides really helped me to ace my exams. I now love A and P.

Just What I Needed!!

I said a prayer two days ago, and asked for a book that explained anatomy in simple terms that I understand, and then, I walked into the college bookstore and saw this. First of all, ANYTHING by Mosby would be purchased by me, and this is no exception! Now, this is a small, compact book that you can carry anywhere, to the supermarket, on the train, even to class rather than the large textbooks that are also needed. While much more of the information may be in the text, this is a great supplement, because anything that you need to add, there is room on many of the pages to include your own notes. Now, I know I will make it through Anatomy, as well as on my way to become a nurse! GET THIS BOOK!!
