• Increased Pedagogical Emphasis: New for the 11th edition, the author team has revised the text and clarified the writing based on actual data from student use! SmartBook reporting data allows us to narrow in on areas where students struggle and either need further clarification and/or reinforcement of important concepts to successfully build comprehension.
• Chapter Openers have been rewritten with a focus on maintenance of homeostasis, a major underlying theme of the book. Chapter openers have been revised to link the opening photo with Learn to Predict and chapter introduction. This provides a cohesive theme for better student learning and engagement.
• CONNECT—the future in online course management is here! All Connect questions are correlated to Text and HAPS Learning Outcomes. New questions have been added to each chapter that further promote critical thinking and have a clinical emphasis using scenarios first presented in the chapter. LearnSmart questions in SmartBook have been revised to reflect updates within the text.Fundamental Figures—Integrated with special CONNECT assets! Key figures to understanding the chapter are highlighted as Fundamental. All figures are visually linked to create consistency throughout the text and art coloration has been saturated to make the art more engaging.

Key Features

• Learn To Predict Questions: Part of the critical thinking inherent in the Seeley Learning System, Predict questions appear throughout each chapter. A Learn To Predictquestion opens every chapter and is specially written to take knowledge acquired from previous chapters, and tie it into content in the current chapter. The chapter opener photo has been matched to help give visual imagery for the scenario so that critical thinking skills are reinforced from the beginning of each chapter.
• A new Learn To Predict Answer box at the end of each chapter teaches students step-by-step how to answer a higher order thinking/application question. This is foundational to real learning and is a critical part of helping students put facts together to reach that “Aha” moment of true comprehension. All predict question answers are now written in a teaching style format to model the answer for the student. This consistency helps students learn how to think critically.
• Learning Outcomes and Assessment: Carefully written to clearly outline expectations and test comprehension, the Learning Outcomes and Assess Your Progressquestions will assist instructors with measuring standards for their A & P course and also help students gain the most they can from their textbook. They are numbered to correlate with predict questions and end of chapter questions.
• Homeostasis Figures: Colored arrows throughout every figure links them together to create consistency throughout the text. All homeostasis figures were revised to draw a correlation between the figure and the text description of feedback system components.
• Process Figures: Difficult processes become more easy to understand with clear explanations that are numbered in purple circles. All figures throughout the book are visually linked to create consistency and help students gain comprehension.
• Diseases and Disorders Tables: Lists of diseases can be found in succinct tables following the appropriate Clinical Impact reading. Additional relevant diseases and disorders are listed online for students.
• Clinical Impact Readings: When problems in structure and/or function of the human body occur, this is often the best time to comprehend how the two are related. TheClinical Impact boxes are carefully placed within the chapter content to expand upon the section in clinical application. Much emphasis has been put on these readings to make sure we are always bringing the most relevant and up-to-date information to the student.
• McGraw-Hill LearnSmart Labs™Based on the same world-class super-adaptive technology as LearnSmart, McGraw-Hill LearnSmart Labs is a must-see, outcomes-based lab simulation. It assesses a student’s knowledge and adaptively corrects deficiencies, allowing the student to learn faster and retain more knowledge with greater success. Whether your need is to overcome the logistical challenges of a traditional lab, provide better lab prep, improve student performance, or create an online experience that rivals the real world, LearnSmart Labs accomplishes it all.
• Genetics Coverage: To prepare students to understand the relationship between genetics and many of the cases they may encounter in health-related careers, the basics of genetics is covered in Chapter 29. This provides a greater understanding of the role played with genetics in Human Development, Growth, and Aging. Modern genetics has made it possible to understand the connection between the structure of genes on chromosomes and many diseases. Some of these diseases that have a genetic basis are highlighted in Clinical Genetics essays.
• Seeley Learning System: Pedagogical framework that builds student comprehension from knowledge-based questions (in-text review questions) to application (Predict and Critical Thinking questions).
