Frederic (“Ric”) Martini, joined by accomplished educator, award-winning teacher, and co-author Judi Nath, has substantially revised Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiolog y to make the Ninth Edition the most readable and visually effective edition to date. New Spotlight figures integrate brief text and visuals for easy reading. This package
used in the classroom to teach - overall a solid textbook with good examples. Felt like the nervous system chapters were written a league above the other chapters regarding the level of detail covered. Those same chapters were all repetitive and the info seemed a bit spread out. The info is there though, so overall, a good text.
he coordination between narrative discussions and corresponding art has been tightened to improve clarity. The clear, concise explanations lead readers through complex processes, helping them keep sight of the big picture without getting lost in the details.

It was for school!!! And boring, the only person who made the class interesting was the professor and that was when we still had zoom and flipping actual labs … kahoots was my favorite it made learning less tedious.
My daughter purchased this as a required text book for a class she was taking. I was impressed by the book and the interactive aspect. My daughter appreciated the text as other texts she had seen in the past confused her more than taught her.
The textbook for 3 quarters of Anatomy and Physiology. Comprehensive, general knowledge. Worthy if interested (this version is not the current version)
This was actually a really well written textbook, and although it was a TON of work, I learned so much about the human body this year, that I will hopefully use for the rest of my life!
