Based on Memmler's The Human Body in Health and Disease, this text focuses on anatomy and physiology without the content on disease. It is an excellent primer on normal anatomy and physiology, basic microbiology, and chemistry. The friendly format makes normal anatomy and physiology easy to understand and remember. Students can turn to this valuable resource again and again for accurate, reliable, up-to-date information Salient Features NEW: Robust instructor and student ancillary package including a PASSport to Success package and a bonus CD for students. See Ancillaries and PASSport to Success sections below for more details. NEW: Art and revised design will engage students and help them easily learn A&P. Real dissection photographs from our Rohen: Color Atlas of Anatomy, 6e book have been added to the new editions of Memmler (Refer to the following pages in Rohen to view the photographs going in Memmler: page 4 (both), page 17 (left), page 244 (top), page 252 (top left), page 289 (top), page 292 (top), page 329 (top), page 336 (top right), page 356 (top)).
