Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology

 Human Anatomy and Physiology is often a first course in many education programs and is the basis for so many of the specialized courses. Teachers of human anatomy and physiology thus take on a special challenge: To teach the complexities of human structure and function in a simple way, without losing the essence and meaning of the content. That is the goal of this textbook: to make this material readily accessible to D.Pharm., B.Pharm. and Pharm. D students. The text has three unifying themes: the relationship between physiology and anatomy, the interrelations among the organ systems and the relationship of each organ system to homeostasis. Although each type of cell, tissue, organ, or organ system is discussed simply and thoroughly in itself, applicable connections are made to other aspects of the body or to the functioning of the body as a whole. Our goal is to provide your students with the essentials of anatomy and physiology, and in doing so, to help give them a solid foundation for their future work, and an appreciation for the incredible living organism that is the human body
