Seeley’s Anatomy and Physiology is written for the two-semester anatomy and physiology course. The writing is comprehensive enough to provide 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.

What Makes this Text a Market-Leader?

Seeley Learning System – Teaching Students How to Think
• Problem-solving perspective from the book’s inception
• Pedagogy builds student comprehension from knowledge-based questions (in-text Assess Your Progress questions) to application (Predict and Critical Thinking questions, and Learn To Predict Answer)
• Predict Questions challenge students to use their understanding of new concepts to solve a problem. Answers to the questions are provided at the end of the book, allowing students to evaluate their responses and to understand the logic used to arrive at the correct answer.
• Critical thinking exercises encourage students to apply chapter concepts to solve problems. Answering these questions helps build their working knowledge of anatomy and physiology while developing reasoning and critical thinking skills. Answers are provided in Appendix F.

Clinical Coverage — No one has more!
• Clinical Impact boxes (placed at key points in the text) These in-depth boxed essays explore relevant topics of clinical interest. Subjects covered include pathologies, current research, sports medicine, exercise physiology, and pharmacology.
• Chapter opening clinical scenarios
• Learn to Predict and chapter Predict questions with unique Learn to Predict Answers
• Case Studies
• Clinical Genetics essays
• Diseases and Disorders tables
• Systems Pathologies with Interactions tables These spreads explore a specific disorder or condition related to a particular body system. Presented in a simplified case study format, each Systems Pathology box begins with a patient history followed by background information about the featured topic.

Exceptional Art — Always created from the student perspective
• A picture is worth a thousand words—especially when you’re learning anatomy and physiology. Because words alone cannot convey the nuances of anatomy or the intricacies of physiology, Anatomy and Physiology employs a dynamic program of full-color illustrations and photographs that support and further clarify the textual explanations:

•Fundamental Figures teamed with special online content
•Homeostasis figures with in-art explanations
•Step-by-step Process figures
•Atlas-quality cadaver images provide detailed views of anatomical structures, capturing the intangible characteristics of actual human anatomy that can be appreciated only when viewed in human specimens.
•illustrated tables
•photos side-by-side with illustrations
•macro-to-micro art
