Seeley's anatomy & physiology.

Includes index.

This text is designed to help students develop a solid, basic understanding of anatomy and physiology without an encyclopaedic presentation of detail. Great care has been taken to select important concepts and to perfectly describe the anatomy cells, organs, and organ systems. The plan that has been followed for nine 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 and authors provide explanations of how the systems respond to aging, changes in physical activity, and disease, with a special focus on homeostasis and regulatory mechanisms that maintains it. This test has more clinical content that any other A and P book on the market.
