Structure and Function of the Body

by Gary A. Thibodeau, Kevin T. Patton

A superb introductory anatomy and physiology text, STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE BODY presents core anatomy and physiology principles around two central and unifying themes: the normal structure and function of the human body and homeostasis. Elaborate full-color illustrations, centralized themes, simplistic language, and solid learning features encourage student comprehension of the material. Several new features help bring anatomy and physiology concepts to life: Health and Wellness Boxes; Study Tips with collaborative learning activities; a Student Survival Guide and interactive Panorama of Anatomy and Physiology CD-ROM free with every softcover book; and the MERLIN WebLinks with related web page.

This was my textbook for three anatomy and physiology courses at the American College of Healthcare Sciences. I liked it, it was well-written, and helped me understand the concepts that I needed to know.

Excellent textbook on anatomy and physiology with clear and plentiful diagrams and illustrations designed to help tell your adrenal medulla from your hypothalamus.

This is an excellent book to understand how our body and its different systems work. It has very nice examples and some vary explanatory figures. It is very difficult to digest all the information it offers, but I may read it again in the future. A must read for anyone who wants to understand better how the body works.

Excelente libro para adentrarte en el infinito mundo de la anatomía humana, ideal para aquellos que empiezan una carrera relacionada con la salud. Un libro fácil de entender eso sí estudiándolo.

Read in preparation for nursing school. It’s a good book. Condensed and straight to the point. 10/10 Would recommend. Definitely staying on my bookshelf.

while I pretty good book, it sometimes got very wordy. sometimes the point was last in between too many examples and so the chapter test answers didn't really line up. it also doesn't give a very exact circulation. it says one thing goes back and says at the same time 4 sections later

Three stars because I learned some things, but I would not recommend this to someone looking for an anatomy textbook.
