This Second Edition is fully updated to deliver the latest information on anatomy and physiology in an easy-to-understand, enjoyable style. Abundant quick-scan tables, illustrations, and flowcharts help the reader focus on key information, while memory joggers and Incredibly Easy! quick quizzes aid recall and help gauge progress. Contents include an overview of cell structure and function and an in-depth exploration of the individual systems of the human body. Sixteen pages of full-color, detailed anatomical illustrations are included. Special chapters cover nutrition and metabolism; fluids, electrolytes, acids, and bases; and genetics.
Hands down this was the easiest way to review the basics while I was in a more complex class. Every time I saw something about "we remember from anatomy that...," I grabbed this one and then I actually DID remember. Straight-forward explanations in this one made it easy to refresh my memory, sometimes simplify the way I was thinking about things, and then get on my way. As I get further from when I was in the core of those detailed, insanely hard classes, this book will only get more valuable.
This is a basic introduction to help reader learn all major body systems and processes.This really helps explain how body systems and structures work together.I'm so glad I find a easy-digest way to learn human body.
Im not exactly a huge fan of science, yet with the career I chose I use it on a daily basis. Great educational book for those who like things broken down into lamo terms.
