Anatomy and Physiology

by Rob Seeley, Trent D. Stephens, Philip Tate

Anatomy and Physiology is designed to help students develop a solid, basic understanding of anatomy and physiology without an encyclopedic presentation of detail. Great care has been taken to select important concepts and to perfectly describe the anatomy of cells, organs, and organ systems. The plan that has been followed for eight editions of this text is to combine clear and accurate descriptions of anatomy with precise explanations of how structures function and examples of how they work together to maintain life. To emphasize the concepts of anatomy and physiology, the authors provide explanations of how the systems respond to aging, changes in physical activity, and disease, with a special focus on homeostasis and the regulatory mechanisms that maintain it. Timely and interesting examples demonstrate the application of knowledge in a clinical context.

No geral a matéria está explicada de forma fácil de entender, mas achei certas partes um pouco confusas. É um livro mais virado para fisiologia do que para anatomia apesar de no título dizer os dois. Para estudar eu usei este livro para topicos de fisiologia e para anatomia usei outros. Mesmo assim foi essencial no meu estudo em Enfermagem e é considerada a "Bíblia" do curso. Recomendo muito e algo bastante interessante é que tem aplicação clínica para vermos um exemplo da matéria na prática.

I have read this book so many times. I know I am a geek, but this book and Dr. Seeley taught me EVERY single thing I know about the human body. I love it. My copy is getting so used and battered though. I need the new edition..... I am saving up!

Obviously I didn't read the entire textbook...that would be ridiculous and very time consuming. I did read a lot of the first half for my college Anat and Phys class.
It was a good textbook and had very helpful charts and visuals in it. I found a lot of the text to be very in depth and hard to understand for the class that I was taking.
Probably one of the better textbooks for school that I have.
