Tortora's Principles of Anatomy and Physiology

Product Information

A clinical examination textbook. Bates is often recommended. But I prefer Talley's which is used in the UK and Commonwealth nations. Practitioner’s Perspective Videos: These engaging videos share the perspective of the clinician on a clinical case study. The clinicians represent an array of possible future careers for the students, including doctors and nurses but also EMT, audiologist, acupuncturist, and radiologic technician. The practitioners are diverse and represent broad student populations. Each of these practitioner’s share an engaging story about a person who is experiencing a disease state such as kidney stones, multiple sclerosis, burns, or a cochlear implant. New Opening Questions: Each chapter starts with questions designed to stimulate interest and class discussion, accompanied by new illustrations.

Interactive VitalSource e-Text: Students can easily search content, highlight and take notes, access instructor’s notes and highlights, and read offline to any device.Or an anatomy atlas. I prefer either Grant's or Rohen's. I'd probably go for Grant's. I know Netter's is classic, but, again, I think the underrated Grant's is better than Netter's, even though Netter's is classic. For one thing, Grant's contains radiological images like MRIs whereas Netter's doesn't or rather doesn't include as many. Revised, Added, and Illustrated Clinical Connections: Includes a Clinical Connection in Chapter 23 dealing with tracheostomy, endotracheal intubations, and ventilators.

You can't get through the class without good graphics. This book has amazing pictures and graphs illustrating the topics. Lecture Slides: PowerPoint presentations cover key concepts allowing the instructor to illustrate important topics with images, figures, and problems presented throughout the course. D Physiology uses state-of-the-art 3D visualization to bring the 15 most complicated topics for students to learn and teachers to teach to life. The most requested topic, The Countercurrent Mechanism, helps students visualize a dense, very complex physiological process. Each animation is fully accessible and includes transcript and speed controls that allow students to absorb the material on their own terms. What’s New:By the way, in case any med students are interested, this is obviously just my opinion, but I don't think you need to buy tons of textbooks for med school. Just a few, essential ones should suffice. Using the menu at the top, select a chapter. A list of resources available for that particular chapter will be provided.
