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
accessibleand casual narrative style, dynamic artwork, and a complete
suite of ancillaries help build a solid foundation and spark students’
enthusiasm for learning thehumanbody.
Features
• CaseStudies: Each chapteropenswithaCaseStudy. Eachof
these cases, all of themdrawn from real patients,was selected to
illustrate themost important conceptsdiscussed in the chapter and
serves as the thread thatweaves anatomyandphysiology together
throughout the chapter.
• CaseNotes:Casenotes follow sectionsof content.Theyare
specifically critical thinkingquestions that help the student toapply
thematerial theyhave just learned to the case.
• CaseDiscussion:Appears near theendof each chapter; applies the
chapter concepts to the case in somedetail; accompaniedbya
figure/algorithm that helps studentsvisualize the interrelationships
amongvarious aspectsof the case, suchas thebreakdown innormal
functions, theeffectofmedical treatment given, etc.
• PopQuiz:Tests studentson topics coveredwithineachmain
section. Students can check themselves todeterminewhether
theyhave fullyunderstoodpriormaterial, beforegoingon tonew
material.NOT the sameasCaseNotes.Casenotesonly relate to
the caseandhow thematerial in the sectionapplies to that case.
