Prepare your students for success in their allied health careers with Memmler’s The Human Body in Health and Disease, Thirteenth Edition . Acclaimed for its innovations in pedagogy and approach, the book has already helped hundreds of thousands of allied health students (including those with little or no background in science and/ or weak language skills) to master the content of the course. From its pioneering use of phonetic pronunciations to its pedagogically effective skin-to-bone transparencies of the human body, to this edition’s new personalized chapter-by-chapter quizzes powered by prepU; this book continues to set the standard for the one-semester course. Features • Updated Process Diagrams ensure student mastery by calling out the steps of a complex process, such as negative feedback control or maintaining homeostasis and feedback mechanisms. • Revised and updated Disease in Context boxes open each chapter with a familiar scenario that integrates chapter content into a real- life setting, bringing the information to life for students. • Revised and updated Disease in Context Revisited boxes apply the chapter’s concepts to the opening scenario help students increase their analytic abilities. • Increased clinical content in the chapter case studies ask students to evaluate and analyze simple lab tests to help them develop their higher level thinking skills. • Greater emphasis on learning concepts , for example grouping diseases by common causes, provides students with a less encyclopedic and more conceptual approach to the content. • Improved anatomic drawings feature greater accuracy and clarity without increasing the level of complexity. • A full-body transparency insert assists students in performing a virtual dissection of the human body from skin down to bone and allows them to test themselves on their understanding of skin, muscles, bones, veins/arteries, etc. • Full-color dissection photographs from Rohen’s Color Atlas of Anatomy, 6e, show students exactly what they would see in a dissection lab. • Updated Disease inContext chapter-opening boxes bring information to life through medical cases that use familiar scenarios to transport content into real life settings.
