For two-semester A&P
Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology helps students succeed in the challenging A&P course with an easy-to-understand narrative, precise visuals, and steadfast accuracy. Every chapter of the Tenth Edition includes one- and two-page Spotlight Figures that seamlessly integrate text and visuals to guide students through complex topics and processes. These highly visual presentations incorporate, for select topics, the “visual approach” that the same author team created in their Visual Anatomy & Physiology book. New Clinical Cases open every chapter and get students thinking about the chapter content in the context of a personal compelling patient story.
This program presents a better teaching and learning experience–for you and your students. It provides:
Text-art Integration: The popular one- and two-page Spotlight Figures and other figure types seamlessly integrate text and visuals to guide students through complex topics and processes. Students study the Spotlight Figures in the book, and then instructors can assign them in MasteringA&P.
Story-based Clinical Content: Motivate students for their future careers with the new Clinical Cases. Students read the Clinical Cases in the book, and then instructors can assign them, which are also assignable in MasteringA&P.
Time-saving Navigation and Study Tools: Enable students to better navigate difficult A&P topics

Features + Benefits
Text-art integration
NEW! 50 Spotlight Figures provide highly visual one- and two-page presentations of tough topics in the book, with a particular focus on physiology. In the Tenth Edition, there is now at least one Spotlight Figure in every chapter, as well as one corresponding Spotlight Figure corresponding to every A&P Flix.
“Side-by-Side” Figures provide students with multiple views of the same structure, typically pairing an artist’s drawing with a cadaver photograph taken by renowned biomedical photographer Ralph Hutchings. This approach allows students to compare the illustrator’s careful rendering to a photo of the actual structure as it might be seen in the laboratory or operating room.
“Step-by-Step” Figures break down multifaceted processes into step-by-step illustrations that coordinate with the authors’ narrative descriptions. These easy-to-follow sequences in the book are also featured on the Instructor’s Resource DVD (IR-DVD) with a “Step Edit” function that makes it easy for instructors to present the material in classroom presentations.
“Macro-to-Micro” Figures help students to bridge the gap between familiar and unfamiliar structures of the body by sequencing anatomical views from whole organs or other structures down to their smaller parts. A typical illustration might combine a simple orientation diagram (indicating where an organ or structure is located in the human body) with a large, vivid illustration of that organ or structure, a corresponding sectional view, and a photomicrograph.
“Illustration-over-Photo” Figures bring depth and dimensionality to the page and ensure that the illustrated structures are visually proportional in size to the human body.
“Build-a-Body” System Integrators appear at the end of each body system to reinforce students’ understanding of the interconnections across all body systems.
Story-based clinical content
NEW! Clinical Cases get students motivated for their future careers. Each chapter opens with a story-based Clinical Case related to the chapter content and ends with a Clinical Case Wrap-Up that incorporates the deeper content knowledge students will have gained from the chapter. After students do complete a self-review using questions (andwith answers) in the book, they can work through the Book-specific Clinical Case Activities in MasteringA&P.
Clinical Notes appear within every chapter, expand upon topics just discussed, and present diseases and pathologies along with their relationship to normal function. These Clinical Notes relate directly to what students will encounter in their future careers.
Related Clinical Terms appear at the end of every chapter and present additional clinical terms and definitions relevant to the chapter topic.
Time-saving Navigation and Study Tools
NEW! The chapter-opening numbered Learning Outcomes are now repeated below the coordinated numbered chapter headings to drive home the connection between the HAPS-based Learning Outcomes and the associated teaching points. These Learning Outcomes are also presented on each chapter-opening page, indicating to students what they should be able to do after studying the chapter. Additionally, the assessments in MasteringA&P are organized by these Learning Outcomes.
Full-sentence chapter headings do more than introduce new topics: They state the core fact or concept that will be presented in the section. These numbered chapter headings are directly correlated to the numbered Learning Outcomes printed directly beneath each heading, making it easy for students to “see,” navigate through, and learn the chapter content.
Checkpoints ask students to pause and check their understanding of facts and concepts. They are located at predictable points throughout the chapter, at the end of each major topic, and the answers are at the back of the book.
Tips & Tricks boxes are brief and concrete learning tools that give students simple analogies and easy memory devices to help them remember facts and concepts.
End-of-chapter 3-level learning system helps build student confidence and understanding through a logical progression from factual questions (Level 1) to conceptual problems (Level 2) to analytical exercises (Level 3). The variety of questions also gives instructors flexibility in assigning homework from the text.
The MasteringA&P reference box in the Chapter Review section of every chapter shows students which MasteringA&P resources can help them review key chapter material on their own.
