DESCRIPTION
Prepare your students for success in their allied
health careers with Memmler’s The Human Body
in Health and Disease, 13e. 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.
