By combining trusted author content with digital tools developed to engage students and emulate the office-hour experience, Mastering personalizes learning and improves results for each student.

Also available as an easy-to-use, standalone Pearson eText Pearson eText allows educators to easily share their own notes with students so they see the connection between their reading and what they learn in class—motivating them to keep reading, and keep learning.

Portable access lets students study on the go, even offline. And, reading analytics offer insight into how students use the eText, helping educators tailor their instruction.

Phys in Action! Nurses Need Physiology Case Studies are multi-step coaching activities that guide students through the steps of diagnosing and treating patients in realworld clinical scenarios. Running Problem Coaching Activities are based on the Running Problems in the text that are interspersed throughout the chapters and include Socratic hints and feedback to help students develop critical thinking skills.

Interactive Physiology 2. Now fully accessible on all mobile devices, IP 2. New IP 2. Interactive Physiology Animations from the original award-winning Interactive Physiology tutorial program have been converted to animations to accommodate learners using a wide range of web browsers and mobile devices. Essentials Figure Coaching Activities are based on the Essentials Figures in the text, which blends narrative explanations and clear visuals that better enable students to visualize difficult concepts and physiological processes.

PhysioEx Laboratory Simulations offer a supplement or substitute for wet labs due to cost, time, or safety concerns. Encourage students to study anywhere, anytime NEW! Pearson eText , optimized for mobile, seamlessly integrates videos and other rich media with the text and gives students access to their textbook anytime, anywhere. Accessibility screen-reader ready Configurable reading settings, including resizable type and night reading mode Instructor and student note-taking, highlighting, bookmarking, and search tools Embedded videos for a more interactive learning experience Dynamic Study Modules help students study effectively on their own by continuously assessing their activity and performance in real time.

Students complete a set of questions and indicate their level of confidence in their answer. Questions repeat until the student can answer them all correctly and confidently. These are available as graded assignments prior to class and are accessible on smartphones, tablets, and computers.

Instructors can now remove questions from Dynamic Study Modules to better fit their course. Tools for you, the instructor NEW! Ready-to-Go Teaching modules created for and by instructors model effective teaching strategies. Watch our video to learn about Ready-to-Go Teaching modules. Help your students develop critical thinking skills. Monitor responses to find out where your students are struggling. Rely on real-time data to adjust your teaching strategy. Automatically group students for discussion, teamwork, and peer-to-peer learning.

Easy-to-Follow Instructions help students integrate informationby creating concept maps and flow charts. Figure 1. A Ready-to-Go Teaching Module provides extensive teaching suggestions for instructors to guide students in creating concept maps. Mapping Exercises are included in the end-of-chapter Review Questions for most chapters. Unique Integrative Physiology chapters Chapters 13, 20, and 25 ask students to step back and look at the big picture to learn how separate physiological processes work together in an integrated system.

These chapters explore control of body movement, fluid and electrolyte balance, and exercise and demonstrate the emergent properties of the various body systems. The four themes explore structure-function relationships, biological energy use, information flow within an organism, and homeostasis and control systems that maintain homeostasis.

A Ready-to-Go Teaching Module includes a wealth of teaching ideas to help students build and practice graphing skills. Running Problems explore a real-world disease or disorder that unfolds in short segments throughout the chapter.

Students can check their understanding by comparing their answers with those in Problem Conclusion at the end of each chapter. Questions throughout the chapter give students an opportunity to check their understanding.

Figure Questions and Graph Questions ask students to think critically and analytically, providing frequent stop-and-think opportunities to reinforce important concepts while building visualization and graphing skills. Answers to these questions appear at the end of the text, in Appendix A. Concept Checks appear at intervals throughout the chapter and test students before they move on. With every edition, our goal is powerful but simple to make anatomy and physiology as engaging, accurate, and relevant as possible for both you and your students.

Key concepts are important because of the overwhelming amount of material in this course. Mastering this material gives students an anchor and structure for managing this wealth of information.

Below are the ways in which we ve revised the Eighth Edition to make this book the one where learning happens most effectively, followed by a detailed list of specific chapter-by-chapter content changes. A whole new art program. The drive for this revision began as a simple list.

This list became the basis for our art revision plans. We first boiled it down to some of the toughest topics to get our list of Focus figures. In each case, we scrutinized the process and worked through countless revisions to break it down in the most logical and easy-to-follow way possible for students.

In addition to the online Phys in Action videos that are referenced in related figures, we have new Try It! These activities present data, usually from classic experiments, and ask the students to interpret the results. Learning Catalytics allows students to use their smartphone, tablet, or laptop to respond to questions in class.
