Anatomy, Physiology, & Disease offers an engaging introduction to the connections between anatomy and physiology (A&P) and pathology, with a strong emphasis on clinical applications. The tone is conversational and approachable, using real-world analogies to support understanding over rote memorization.
The authors help you form lasting connections by weaving two integrated case studies throughout the text to illustrate key concepts and multisystem effects: one following a patient with diabetes and the other a patient with a spinal cord injury.
The 4th edition reflects major changes in health care, including those spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic. It also adds two new appendices that reference common diagnostic tests and medications.
