Human Physiology 11th Edition

Human Physiology, eleventh edition, is designed to serve the needs of students in an undergraduate physiology course. 

The beginning chapters introduce basic chemical and biological concepts to provide these students—many of whom do not have extensive science backgrounds—with the framework they need to comprehend physiological principles. 

In the chapters that follow, the material is presented in a way that promotes conceptual understanding rather than rote .

memorization of facts. Every effort has been made to help students integrate related concepts and understand the relationships between anatomical structures and their functions. 

Abundant summary ? owcharts and tables serve as aids for review. Beautifully rendered ? gures, with a functional use of color, are designed to enhance learning. Health applications are often discussed to heighten interest, deepen understanding of physiological concepts, and help students relate the material they have learned to their individual career goals.
In addition, various other pedagogical devices are used extensively (but not intrusively) to add to the value of the text as a comprehensive learning tool.
