Human Form, Human Function: Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology by Thomas H Mcconnell

Human Form, Human Function: Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology by Thomas H Mcconnell

Human Form, Human Function is the first essentials level text that seamlessly weaves together form (anatomy) with function (physiology), an approach that caters to how instructors teach and students learn. Authors Tom McConnell and Kerry Hull incorporate real-life case studies as the vehicle for learning how form and function are linked. Through careful organization, thoughtful presentation, and a conversational narrative, the authors have maintained a sharp focus on communication: between body organs and body systems, between artwork and student learning, between content and student comprehension. Each feature reinforces critical thinking and connects anatomy and physiology to the world of health care practice. This original text offers an exceptional student learning experience: an accessible and casual narrative style, dynamic artwork, and a complete suite of ancillaries help build a solid foundation and spark students' enthusiasm for learning the human body.

-- "My overall impression of this chapter, and the text as a whole, is that it presents the necessary and important information in an engaging and accessible formI find this text to be a quick and easy read...I fully intend to present this text to my colleagues when it is finished as an upgrade to the Marieb text." -- "I wholeheartedly support the integrated approach presented in this text. As an instructor, it is vital to get my students to make connections between various course objectives that may be presented widely apart in the text or during the semester. Additionally, integration encourages higher order thinking skills rather than simple memorization." -- "One of my top three criteria for choosing a text is the writing style. I need it to be conversational, and this most certainly is. In fact, beyond the fact that it is conversational, I absolutely love the way that the author uses analogies and brings every concept down to the most basic level."
