Designed for the one-semester course, Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology is written to allow instructors the ability to accomplish one main goal: to teach the basics of A&P while fostering the skills of problem solving. The text focuses on two major themes: 1)the relationship between structure and function, and 2)homeostasisThis text presents the important topics of anatomy and physiology without overwhelming the student with unnecessary detail.
