Body Structures & Functions

BODY STRUCTURES AND FUNCTION, 12E introduces you to the basics required for the study of the human body and how it functions in a clear and concise manner. This book takes you from a general introduction to life functions, the terminology used to describe body parts and their locations, to an overall review of human development and body processes. Diseases and disorders are integrated within each body system chapter to link physiology with anatomy. Highlights and features that emphasize clinical applications make learning fun and engaging.
