A functional approach to human anatomy, available in a multifunctional eText

Human Anatomy, the #1 best-selling textbook for the human anatomy course, is widely regarded as the most readable and visually accessible book on the market. Whether you are a student studying anatomy for the first time or a healthcare professional looking to refresh your knowledge, this book provides a comprehensive and user-friendly guide to understanding the intricacies of the human body.

Using a functional anatomy theme, the text presents human anatomy as a well-illustrated “story” with the right amount of detail that learners can understand at an introductory level. Analogies and comparative descriptions make anatomical structures more memorable and understandable, and explain how the shape and composition of structures allow them to perform their functions.

In this 9th edition, the authors have introduced new exercises and questions that help students learn and use anatomical language while also interpreting real-world medical images. By combining theoretical knowledge with practical application, students gain a deeper understanding of basic human anatomy and its clinical relevance.

The book continues to employ the functional anatomy approach of previous editions, presenting anatomical concepts in a clear and logical manner. What sets this edition apart is the enhanced illustrated tables that now tell a more cohesive and logical “story” of human anatomy. These tables not only present key anatomical information, but also provide valuable context that helps students understand the complex relationships between different body structures.

For those who prefer a digital learning experience, this book is also available as a Pearson eText. The eText edition includes dozens of embedded videos and animations that help students visualize anatomical terms and structures. These interactive features allow students to engage with the material in a dynamic way, enhancing their learning experience and helping them retain information more effectively. Additionally, the eText offers instant cross-referencing, eliminating the need to flip pages to connect concepts across different body systems.

Whether you choose the traditional print version or the eText, this book caters to different learning styles and preferences, ensuring that all students have access to the same high-quality content. The authors have carefully selected illustrations that are both clear and anatomically accurate, making complex concepts easier to grasp. The combination of detailed text, colourful diagrams, and interactive digital features makes learning human anatomy an engaging and rewarding experience.

Human Anatomy is not just a textbook, it is a comprehensive resource that students can refer back to throughout their academic and professional careers. The inclusion of real-world medical images and exercises that prompt anatomical language use allows students to develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills necessary for success in their future healthcare careers. By presenting anatomy as a cohesive “story” with a focus on function, this book helps students understand the practical applications of anatomical knowledge in clinical practice.
