Innovative in its pedagogy and approach,
Memmler’s The Human Body in Health and
Disease
has helped hundreds of thousands of allied health students (including those
with little or no background in science and/or weak language skills) to master
anatomy and physiology. From its pioneering use of phonetic pronunciations to its
pedagogically effective skin-to-bone transparencies of the human body, to this
edition’s personalized chapter-by-chapter quizzes powered by prepU; this proven
book continues to set the standard for the one-semester course and will set your
allied health students on the path toward success in their program.
New and Unique Features:
3
NEW! 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.
3
NEW! 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.
3
NEW! 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.
3
NEW! 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.
3
NEW! Updated Online Instructor Manual
provides practical tips for using the
book in a flipped classroom or for online learning, or for other novel learning
environments.
3
Personalized, chapter-by-chapter quizzes
powered by PrepU help students learn
more and improve their pass rates on exams, while giving instructors a window
into their students' progress by highlighting misconceptions - exactly what your
students are consistantly misunderstanding - as well as content areas where they
are strong and struggling.
3
Easy-to-understand phonetic pronunciations
spelled out in the narrative directly
after key terms will meet the needs of students of varying backgrounds and
language skills–no need to understand dictionary-style diacritical marks.
3
A focus on mastery of medical terminology
includes key medical terms covered
in each chapter, as well as chapter-ending Word Anatomy sections that help
students build and recognize new medical terminology based on previously
encountered word parts.
3
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.
3
Full-color dissection photographs
from Rohen’s Color Atlas of Anatomy, 6e, show
students exactly what they would see in a dissection lab.
