Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology

by Frederic H. Martini, Judi Nath, Edwin Bartholomew

For courses in two-semester A&P. Using Art Effectively to Teach the Toughest Topics in A&P Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology helps students succeed in the challenging A&P course with an easy-to-understand narrative, precise visuals, and steadfast accuracy. With the 11th Edition, the author team draws from recent research exploring how students use and digest visual information to help students use art more effectively to learn A&P. New book features encourage students to view and consider figures in the textbook, and new narrated videos guide students through complex physiology figures to help them deconstruct and better understand complicated processes. Instructors can also request a new handbook by Lori Garrett, entitled The Art of Teaching A& Six Easy Lessons to Improve Student Learning , which explores some of the most common challenges encountered when using art to teach A&P, alongside strategies to address these challenges.

used in the classroom to teach - overall a solid textbook with good examples. Felt like the nervous system chapters were written a league above the other chapters regarding the level of detail covered. Those same chapters were all repetitive and the info seemed a bit spread out. The info is there though, so overall, a good text.

he coordination between narrative discussions and corresponding art has been tightened to improve clarity. The clear, concise explanations lead readers through complex processes, helping them keep sight of the big picture without getting lost in the details.

The content is fine, but the formatting is terrible.

It was for school!!! And boring, the only person who made the class interesting was the professor and that was when we still had zoom and flipping actual labs … kahoots was my favorite it made learning less tedious.

My daughter purchased this as a required text book for a class she was taking. I was impressed by the book and the interactive aspect. My daughter appreciated the text as other texts she had seen in the past confused her more than taught her.

The Hip bone connects to the knee bone. The Knee bone connects to the leg bone. Overall a fairly bombastic and complicated plot...

[Carolyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

The textbook for 3 quarters of Anatomy and Physiology. Comprehensive, general knowledge. Worthy if interested (this version is not the current version)

Well it's one textbook I'm hanging onto so it can't be all bad I s'pose!

Read the first half for A&P I, a rather punishing elective.

[Emilie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was actually a really well written textbook, and although it was a TON of work, I learned so much about the human body this year, that I will hopefully use for the rest of my life!

[Jason Kelley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yup.

To be perfectly honest, I haven't actually opened the book this semester. But I did read it the first time around.
