Integrating systems: clinical cases in anatomy and physiology

by Zerina Tomkins BAppSc (Med. Lab. Sc.), BAppSc (Hons), MNSc (Nurs) PhD (Cell Biology), Grad Cert (University

Overview

Integrating Systems: Clinical Cases in Anatomy and Physiology presents real-life examples to help students new to anatomy and physiology demonstrating how anatomy and physiology work together to enable the human body to respond to a range of external challenges.

Students will be able to build their knowledge by engaging with a mix of scenarios focusing on the variations of ‘normal’. The inclusion of concept maps, questions, answers and rationales will provide students and instructors the necessary tools to effectively understand the integration of body systems and prepare for common presentations in practice.

• 20 real-life cases focusing on variations of ‘normal’, including questions and answers + rationales to aid with assessment/exam preparation
• Mix of compensatory and more complex cases
• Inclusion of concept maps to aid case-based approach understanding of integration of body systems in response to changes to homeostasis
• Case-based approach will build on knowledge gained from Applied Anatomy and Physiology 1e
• Includes an eBook with purchase of the print book
