Principles of Anatomy and Physiology: WITH Atlas AND Registration Card (12th International student edition)
This new edition of Principles of Anatomy and Physiology maintains the superb balance between structure and function. It continues to emphasize the correlations between normal physiology and pathophysiology, normal anatomy and pathology, and homeostasis and homeostatic imbalances. The acclaimed illustration program is also even better along with
the redevelopment of many of the figures depicting the toughest topics to grasp.
