Human Form, Human Function is the first essentials level text that seamlessly weaves together form (anatomy) with function (physiology), an approach that caters to how instructors teach and students learn. Authors Tom McConnell and Kerry Hull incorporate real-life case studies as the vehicle for learning how form and function are linked. Through careful organization, thoughtful presentation, and a conversational narrative, the authors have maintained a sharp focus on communication: between body organs and body systems, between artwork and student learning, between content and student comprehension. Each feature reinforces critical thinking and connects anatomy and physiology to the world of health care practice. This original text offers an exceptional student learning experience: an accessibleand casual narrative style, dynamic artwork, and a complete suite of ancillaries help build a solid foundation and spark students’ enthusiasm for learning thehumanbody. Features • CaseStudies: Each chapteropenswithaCaseStudy. Eachof these cases, all of themdrawn from real patients,was selected to illustrate themost important conceptsdiscussed in the chapter and serves as the thread thatweaves anatomyandphysiology together throughout the chapter. • CaseNotes:Casenotes follow sectionsof content.Theyare specifically critical thinkingquestions that help the student toapply thematerial theyhave just learned to the case. • CaseDiscussion:Appears near theendof each chapter; applies the chapter concepts to the case in somedetail; accompaniedbya figure/algorithm that helps studentsvisualize the interrelationships amongvarious aspectsof the case, suchas thebreakdown innormal functions, theeffectofmedical treatment given, etc. • PopQuiz:Tests studentson topics coveredwithineachmain section.
