About this Item

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 accessible and casual narrative style, dynamic artwork, and a complete suite of ancillaries help build a solid foundation and spark students' enthusiasm for learning the human body. A companion website will include the full-text online, Podcasts, an online Dissection Atlas, animations, additional review questions, answers to some chapter questions, an online Instructor's Manual, and PowerPoint slides. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

About this title

Synopsis

The Laboratory Manual to Accompany Human Form, Human Function is designed for use in a short anatomy and physiology course. This value-priced lab manual provides 27 labs with a total of 135 concise, activity-based exercises that build students' observational laboratory skills. Each new print copy includes a Navigate 2 Companion Website that features interactive and informative learning resources to help students study more effectively. Each laboratory includes between two and five laboratory activities. Lab activities bring the material to life with hands-on experiments and observations to be done individually, in small groups, or as a class. Each lab begins with a Details chart listing the activities in the lab, the objectives of each activity, the materials needed for each activity, and the estimated time each activity will take. Each lab has an overview, a Need to Know section, and a pre-lab activity to make sure students are prepared to participate and get the most out of the lab activities. Each lab ends with a post-lab assessment so that instructors can make sure students are absorbing the material. © 2010 | 458 pages

Review

-- "My overall impression of this chapter, and the text as a whole, is that it presents the necessary and important information in an engaging and accessible form. I find this text to be a quick and easy read...I fully intend to present this text to my colleagues when it is finished as an upgrade to the Marieb text." -- "I wholeheartedly support the integrated approach presented in this text. As an instructor, it is vital to get my students to make connections between various course objectives that may be presented widely apart in the text or during the semester. Additionally, integration encourages higher order thinking skills rather than simple memorization." -- "One of my top three criteria for choosing a text is the writing style. I need it to be conversational, and this most certainly is. In fact, beyond the fact that it is conversational, I absolutely love the way that the author uses analogies and brings every concept down to the most basic level."
