Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach: United States Edition

Autor Dee Unglaub Silverthorn
en Limba Engleză Mixed media product – 21 ian 2009
Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach broke ground with its thorough coverage of molecular physiology seamlessly integrated into a traditional homeostasis-based systems approach. The newly revised Fifth Edition has been significantly updated throughout and features substantially revised art and Running Problems in the book and on the student Companion Website. Recognized as an extraordinary educator and active learning enthusiast, Dr. Silverthorn incorporates time-tested classroom techniques throughout the text and presents thorough, up-to-date coverage of new scientific discoveries, biotechnology techniques, and treatments of disorders. 
 
Dr. Silverthorn also co-authored the accompanying Student Workbook and Instructor Manual, ensuring that these ancillaries reinforce the pedagogical approach of the text. The Fifth Edition includes access to Interactive Physiology® 10-System Suite (IP-10), PhysioEx™ 8.0, A&P Flix animations in 3D, and The Physiology Place Companion Website.

Notă biografică

Dee Silverthorn has been teaching at the University of Texas since 1986 where she lectures and coordinates student laboratories in physiology, and instructs graduate students in a course on developing teaching skills in the life sciences. Her innovative teaching has been recognized with numerous local and national awards, including the American Physiological Society’s Arthur C. Guyton Physiology Educator of the Year and Claude Bernard Distinguished Lectureship, and the University of Texas Marilla D. Svinicki Burnt Orange Apple Award, Texas Excellence Teaching Award, and College of Natural Sciences Teaching Excellence Award. Her textbook also received the Robert W. Hamilton Author Award for best textbook published by a University of Texas faculty member. “Dr. Dee” studied biology and art as an undergraduate at Newcomb College and went onto earn a Ph.D. in marine science from the University of South Carolina. She began her career in the Physiology Department of the Medical University of South Carolina and spent several years at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston before coming to Austin. Her research interest is epithelial transport, and work in her laboratory currently focuses on transport properties of the chick allantoic membrane. She is past chair of the Teaching Section of the American Physiological Society and just completed six years as editor-in-chief of Advances in Physiology Education. Her physiology education outreach extends to the international level and she has organized workshops and symposia in countries around the world.
 
About the Illustrators
Dr. William C. Ober received his undergraduate degree from Washington and Lee University and his M.D. from the University of Virginia. While in medical school, he also studied in the Department of Art as Applied to Medicine at Johns Hopkins University. After graduation, Dr. Ober completed a residency in Family Practice and later was on the faculty at the University of Virginia in the Department of Family Medicine. He is currently an Affiliate Professor of Biology at Washington and Lee University and is part of the Core Faculty at Shoals Marine Laboratory, where he teaches Biological Illustration every summer.
 
Claire W. Garrison, R.N., B.A., practiced pediatric and obstetric nursing before turning to medical illustration as a full-time career. She returned to school at Mary Baldwin College where she received her degree with distinction in studio art. Following a five-year apprenticeship, she has worked as Dr. Ober’s partner in Medical & Scientific Illustration since 1986. She is on the Core Faculty at Shoals Marine Laboratory and co-teaches the Biological Illustration course.
 
As Medical and Scientific Illustration, some of this team’s titles include Human Anatomy (Benjamin Cummings), Integrated Principles of Zoology(McGraw-Hill), Biology (Raven/Losos, McGraw-Hill), Marine Biology (McGraw-Hill) and Galapagos Marine Life Series (Sugar Spring Press).
 

Caracteristici

  • Four chapters on Integrative Physiology (chapters 6, 13, 20, and 25) demonstrate how physiological processes work together in an integrated system. These chapters also explore how body systems influence each other and show that overall systems are often more complicated than the sum of their component parts.
  • Interactive pedagogy encourages students to assess their knowledge as they read rather than waiting until the end of the chapter:
    • Background Basics sections at the beginning of each chapter encourage students to revisit and review topics for the upcoming chapter.
    • Concept Links (signaled with white and blue chain link symbols) help students locate material they need to review.
    • Concept Checks are placed at intervals throughout the chapters and ask students to test their understanding before continuing to the next topic.
    • Figure and graph questions promote analytical skills by encouraging students to interpret information presented in the art.
    • Running Problems appear in segments throughout each chapter and require students to apply what they have learned to a real life pathophysiology case study.
    • The end-of-chapter, four-level learning system helps build student confidence and understanding by progressing from factual questions to conceptual problems to analytical exercises to quantitative questions.  
  •  Superb art program features:
    • Anatomy Summaries show the anatomy of a physiological system from a macro to micro perspective.
    • Reflex pathway maps and concept maps present material in a logical, consistent, and easy-to-navigate format.
  • Coordinated feature boxes provide relevance and enhance students’ knowledge of “hot topics” and include Clinical Focus (featuring several discussions on Diabetes), Biotechnology, and Emerging Concepts.
  • Powerful Instructor Supplements include a full set of transparencies for every figure in the book, and a comprehensiveInstructor Resource DVD with customization features, the new A&P Flix animations in 3D that cover key physiological concepts and invigorate classroom lectures, Lecture Outlines, Active Lecture Questions (PRS enabled), Physiology Review Quiz Show Games, all book art in PowerPoint®, and more.

Caracteristici noi

  • A new Running Problem covers the human papillomavirus; revised Running Problems cover hypertension, emphysema, nicotine addiction, periodic paralysis, Pap smears and cervical cancer, and AMAN.
  • Chapters on cardiovascular physiology, metabolism, and endocrine physiology have been expanded with up-to-date information on cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome and diabetes, with expanded coverage of cholesterol and lipid metabolism and their importance in understanding these diseases.
  • Updated material throughout reflects current research and provide newsworthy and up-to-date science coverage. Examples include appetite control, enterocyte cholesterol transport, a revised model of osmoreceptor activation, stem cells and placental cord blood, pain and itch, sliding filament theory, immunoliposomes, fluids and bulk flow, and arterial fibrillation.
  • The Physiology Place website has been revised to include the new A&P Flix animations in 3D with Gradable Quizzes that bring difficult-to-teach physiology concepts to life; new Interactive Concept Maps; and Clinical Case Studies (in the Instructors Resources section).
  • New and Revised Art uses brighter colors an dmor realistic detail, supporting student awareness of the physical environment where physiological processes take place.
