This text is written for the two semester anatomy & physiology course.
Seeley's A&P writing is comprehensive, providing the depth necessary for
those courses not requiring prerequisites, and yet, is presented with
such clarity that it nicely balances the thorough coverage. Clear
descriptions and exceptional illustrations combine to help students
develop a firm understanding of the concepts of anatomy and physiology
and to teach them how to use that information. Great care has been taken
to select important concepts and to perfectly describe the anatomy of
cells, organs, and organ systems. To emphasize the concepts of anatomy
and physiology, the Seeley A&P authors provide explanations of how the
systems respond to aging, changes in physical activity, and disease,
with a special focus on homeostasis and the regulatory mechanisms that
maintain it. This text has more clinical content than any other A & P
book on the market.
