What's New
Over 25 years have passed since the first edition, and Hole's Human Anatomy & Physiology is still Hole's Human Anatomy & Physiology — but with a sharper focus and appearance.
Design - The revitalized text design injects new life into the study of Anatomy and Physiology. Bright, bold, modern colors are used throughout the feature boxes, tables and chapter openers making them easy to recognize.
Illustrations - All illustrations have been revised. New art incorporates cutting-edge technology offering vivid depictions of complex processes while maintaining the conceptual base that has established Hole as the most effective "instructional tool" on the market with a unique focus on the fundamentals. Hole's art is focused on the main concepts by using concise labeling methodology that keeps students from getting bogged down with excessive detail. Difficult concepts are broken down into easy-to-understand illustrations.
Chapter Opener Photos- Chapter opener images give you a closer look inside the wonders of the human body through the technology of scanning electron micrographs, endoscopic photography, and immunofluorescent light micrographs.
Chapter Opener Vignettes - The authors provide interesting, creative, and thought-provoking vignettes that introduce the chapter topics with readings on such topics as smallpox, heart transplants, and defibrillator implants.
From Science to Technology - The new From Science to Technology readings cover topics such as Cloning to Produce Therapeutic Stem Cells and Replacing the Liver.
Clinical Applications - New topics have been added to the Clinical Application boxes in several chapters. Read updates on Parkinson's treatment, asthma, and food supplements.
Review Exercises and Critical Thinking - Updated end-of-chapter review exercises help the student check understanding of the chapter's major ideas. Critical thinking questions encourage the student to apply information to clinical situations.
Online Learning Center - New OLC activities and resources are available for students and instructors. Check out the GetBodySmart link for an online examination of human anatomy and physiology. Visit our Links Library for access to hundreds of anatomy and physiology weblinks.
Digital Content Manager - The Digital Content Manager, a multimedia collection of visual resources, allows instructors to utilize artwork from the text in multiple formats to create customized classroom presentations, visually-based tests and quizzes, dynamic course website content, or attractive printed support materials. The digital assets on this cross-platform CD-ROM are grouped by chapter within easy-to-use folders.
