Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology with Interactive Physiology 10-System Suite: United States Edition de Frederic H. Martini

Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology with Interactive Physiology 10-System Suite: United States Edition

Autor Frederic H. Martini, Edwin F. Bartholomew
en Limba Engleză Mixed media product – 7 ian 2009
Admired and respected for its precise and flawless illustrations, Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology provides students with easy-to-follow explanations of core anatomy & physiology concepts. Crafted especially for students with no prior knowledge of anatomy & physiology and with little science background, Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology provides a solid framework for learning, interpreting, and applying information. Features such as Clinical Notes and Professional Profiles engage students by showing them how concepts apply to healthcare workplace situations. The book is automatically packaged with the Interactive Physiology® 10-System Suite (IP-10) CD-ROM. 
 
TheFifth Edition has been revised for “ease of use and ease of assessment.” Chapters have been reorganized around new Learning Outcomes, which indicate to students what they should be able to do with what they have learned by the end of each chapter. The numbered Learning Outcomes are tied to numbered full-sentence section headings that not only introduce new topics but also teach something about those topics in the headings themselves. Checkpoint questions “close out” each major section to ensure that students have understood the material and its corresponding Learning Outcome before they move on to the next major section. New visually based end-of-chapter questions further the visual orientation of the book and test students’ visual understanding of key facts and concepts. The Test Bank and the online quizzes and tests are now also organized by the chapter Learning Outcomes, making student assessment easy for instructors.

Notă biografică

Dr. Frederic (Ric) Martini received his Ph.D. from Cornell University in comparative and functional anatomy for work on the pathophysiology of stress. His publications include journal articles and contributed chapters, technical reports, and magazine articles. He is the lead author of six other undergraduate texts on anatomy and physiology or anatomy, and has a feature column, “Back to Basics,” in Physician License and Practice Today, a quarterly publication for medical students and residents. He is currently affiliated faculty of the University of Hawaii at Manoa and remains connected with the Shoals Marine Laboratory, a joint venture between Cornell University and the University of New Hampshire. Dr. Martini has been active in the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) for 15 years, and was a member of the committee that established the course curriculum guidelines for A&P. He is now a President Emeritus of HAPS after serving as President-Elect, President, and Past-President over 2004–2007. He is also a member of the American Physiological Society, the American Association of Anatomists, the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology, the Australia/New Zealand Association of Clinical Anatomists, the Hawaii Academy of Science, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the International Society of Vertebrate Morphologists.

Caracteristici

  • Superb Art Program presents several art formats that enhance visual learning:
    • Side-by-Side Figures provide students with multiple views of the same structure, typically pairing an artist's drawing with a cadaver photograph. This approach allows students to compare the illustrator’s rendering with a photo of the actual structure as it may be seen in the laboratory or operating room.
    • Step-by-Step Figures break down multifaceted processes into numbered 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 DVDs (via the “Step Edit” function) for instructors to use 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 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 other structure, a corresponding cross-sectional view, and a photomicrograph.
    • Illustration-over-Photo Figures, in addition to being visually dramatic with their 3D effects, teach realistic body proportions and structure placement.
  • Vocabulary Development sections kick off each chapter, listing the important word roots that form the basis of the specialized terminology in the chapter.
  • Checkpoint questions appear at the end of each main chapter section to help students assess their understanding of the section material before moving on to the next topic.
  • Clinical Notes present engaging information on diseases and disorders to prepare students for future workplace situations. Brief discussions are embedded in the running narrative to explain how pathologies relate to normal physiological function, and longer, “boxed” versions focus on core medical or social topics.
  • Interactive Physiology®(IP) references appear in the end-of-chapter Summary Outline and show students which IP topics (on the IP CD-ROM packaged with their new book) can help them review key chapter material. 
  • 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 question types also gives instructors flexibility in assigning homework.
  • System in Perspective summaries appear at the end of each body system to help students quickly review that body system’s structures, functions, and associated organs in relationship to all other body systems.
  • Professional Profiles give students insight into health-related careers that require an understanding of anatomy & physiology. These enlightening interview-based vignettes appear at the end of each body system and include profiles for the following professions: burn nurse specialist, sports trainer, physical therapist, X-ray technologist, occupational therapist, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, respiratory therapist, dental assistant, health educator, and mammographer.
  • Concept Links, signaled with blue chain link icons, alert students to material that is related to, or builds upon, previous discussions. Each link refers students to a page number for quickly reviewing the relevant material from an earlier chapter.

Caracteristici noi

  • Learning Outcomes, based on Learning Outcomes developed and recommended by the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) Curriculum Committee, are chapter-opening numbered lists that indicate what students should be able to do after studying the chapter. Anatomy & physiology educators have begun to shift from passive “objectives” to more concrete and applied “learning outcomes,” and this new feature keeps pace with this educational trend.
  • Full-sentence chapter headings do more than introduce new topics; they state the core fact or concept that will be presented in the chapter section. These numbered chapter headings are directly correlated to the numbered Learning Outcomes on the chapter-opening page. The two elements, working together, help students “see,” navigate through, and learn the chapter content.   
  • Repetition of full-sentence chapter headings in the Summary Outline at the end of the chapter provides another opportunity for students to “see” the core information of the chapter.
  • The Big Pictureboxes succinctly organize core concepts in anatomy & physiology at salient points in a chapter. These factual statements provide students with the key concepts that they should remember five years after their anatomy & physiology course, regardless of the specific career path they pursue in the future.
  • Checkpoint questions have been expanded to include both fact- and concept-based questions. Questions now map to the chapter’s Learning Outcomes, further integrating the assessment-based Learning Outcomes into the chapter structure.
  • Visually-based Review Questions have been added to the review section at the end of each chapter to give students visual practice with what they are learning.
  • The System in Perspective feature has been simplified and streamlined to make it easier to understand. 
  • An improved art program makes an already vivid collection of images more dramatic with increased color contrast and dimensionality. Additionally, 75 new illustration-over-photo images now appear.
  • Interactive Physiology® 10-System Suite (IP-10) with the new Immune System module comes packaged as a CD-ROM with the book; references to it have been added to the Summary Outlines in each chapter.
  • The Practice Anatomy Lab (PAL) 2.0 CD-ROM can be added to the book package for no additional charge.
