Designed for the one-semester anatomy and physiology course, Hole's Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology assumes no prior science knowledge and supports core topics with clinical applications, making difficult concepts relevant to students pursuing careers in the allied health field. The unparalleled teaching system is highly effective in providing students with a solid understanding of the important concepts in anatomy and physiology.
This is by far one of the best Anatomy and Physiology textbooks out there. I took A+P in the 11th grade and would highly recommend this book to those in and around that grade. This book is unlike most others simply because it does not contain cut and paste questions, but thoughtful questions demanding thoughtful answers. It wastes no time asking you to color a picture, but it will ask about everything from adenosine triphosphate to zygotes. The glossary is very handy and the list of vocab in the back makes a good study guide.
Textbook used for Anatomy class Spring 2013. Excellent books with clearly illustrated diagrams of human body structures. This is one textbook I will keep and not sell back at the end of class.
