Description
This A&P textbook features full-color illustrations and a conversational writing style. The textbook focuses on concepts rather than
descriptions to help you understand the information. With a focus on the unifying themes of structure and function and homeostasis, Patton
and Thibodeau facilitate the comprehension of difficult material with thorough, consistent, and non-intimidating explanations that are
free of unnecessary terminology and extraneous information. You can also connect with the textbook through a number of free electronic
resources, including access to the 24-module A&P Online course, an electronic coloring book, online tutoring, and more.
