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.
