KEY MESSAGE:

Frederic (“Ric”) Martini, now joined by accomplished educator and award-winning teacher Judi Nath as his new co-author, builds on his best-selling text by making the Eighth Edition the most reader-focused and the easiest to use of all editions yet published. Reader-focused elements include new chapter-opening “Learning Outcomes,” new sentence-style chapter headings that not only introduce new topics but also teach, and a new and simple Tips and Tricks feature that gives readers easy analogies and mnemonic devices to help them remember information. The award-winning art program has been enhanced with more deeply contrasting colors and more dimensionality. 

 An Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology, The Chemical Level of Organization, The Cellular Level of Organization, The Tissue Level of Organization, The Integumentary System, Osseous Tissue and Bone Structure, The Axial Skeleton, The Appendicular Skeleton,  Articulations,  Muscle Tissue,  The Muscular System,  Neural Tissue, The Spinal Cord, Spinal Nerves, and Spinal Reflexes,  The Brain and Cranial Nerves,  Neural Integration I:  Sensory Pathways and the Somatic Nervous System,  Neural Integration II:  The Autonomic Nervous System and Higher-Order Functions, The Special Senses, The Endocrine System,  Blood, The Heart,  Blood Vessels and Circulation, The Lymphoid System and Immunity,  The Respiratory System, The Digestive System, Metabolism and Energetics,  The Urinary System,  Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Balance,  The Reproductive System, Development and Inheritance.

For all readers interested in anatomy and physiology.
