Seeley's Anatomy and Physiology

by Cinnamon VanPutte, Andrew F. Russo, Jennifer L. Regan

This text is written for the two semester anatomy & physiology course. The writing is comprehensive, providing the depth necessary for those courses not requiring prerequisites, and yet, is presented with such clarity that it nicely balances the thorough coverage. Clear descriptions and exceptional illustrations combine to help students develop a firm understanding of the concepts of anatomy and physiology and to teach them how to use that information. 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 ten editions of this popular 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. This text has more clinical content than any other A & P book on the market.

Great textbook.
Used it for my studies.

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!

Very useful for several of my University assignments with great illustrations.

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.
