Tortora, principles of human anatomy

Only Cram is Textbook Specific. Accompanies: The Eleventh Edition now fully integrates this exceptional text with a host of innovative electronic media, setting the standard once again for a rewarding and successful learning experience. Students should find this text easy to read and understand. The preciseness of the descriptions and explanations is very impressive. Physiology in much better understanding.

Author : Gerard J. Designed for the 2-semester anatomy and physiology course, Principles of Anatomy and Physiology combines exceptional content and outstanding visuals for a rich and comprehensive classroom experience. Enhanced for a digital delivery, the 15th edition, gives students the ability to learn and explore anatomy and physiology both inside and outside of the classroom.

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.

This title provides an excellent introduction to anatomy and physiology, and helps you answer a variety of questions including: How did cutting-edge research by the University of Queensland create the cervical cancer vaccine? Why do fast bowlers and ballet dancers frequently suffer from stress fractures?

How does the All Blacks' Haka stimulate nerve impulses? Why do Australia and New Zealand have the highest rates of melanoma in the world?

Revised and new illustrations are included throughout. Additional dissection videos are also included — in this resource are cat, pig, rat, and human dissection videos. Both the cat and the pig have manuals that are available within the resource for download as PDF. Created by author Mark Nielsen, Concept Lectures provide a great resource for professors who want to incorporate more of a flipped classroom into their teaching.

These video lectures are dynamic and help students focus on key concepts and make connections to anatomy.

Every student has a different starting point, and adaptive practice provides endless opportunities for practice to effectively prepare for class or quizzes and exams.

Active retrieval of information with practice questions is proven to improve retention of information better than re-reading or reviewing the material, and students who use adaptive practice to prepare for exams do significantly better than those who do not. Above all, Professor Tortora is devoted to his students and their aspirations. In he received a National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development NISOD excellence award from the University of Texas and was selected to represent Bergen Community College in a campaign to increase awareness of the contributions of community colleges to higher education.

Professor Tortora is the author of several best-selling science textbooks and laboratory manuals, a calling that often requires an additional 40 hours per week beyond his teaching responsibilities. Nevertheless, he still makes time for four or five weekly aerobic workouts that include biking and running. He also enjoys attending college basketball and professional hockey games and performances at the Metropolitan Opera House.

For the past 31 years he has taught anatomy, neuroanatomy, embryology, human dissection, comparative anatomy, and an anatomy teaching course to over 25, students. He has prepared and participated in hundreds of dissections of both humans and other vertebrate animals. All his courses incorporate a cadaver-based component to the training with an outstanding exposure to cadaver anatomy. Professor Nielsen has a passion for teaching anatomy and sharing his knowledge with his students.

In addition to the many students to whom he has taught anatomy, he has trained and served as a mentor for over 1, students who have worked in his anatomy laboratory as teaching assistants. His concern for students and his teaching excellence have been acknowledged through numerous awards. An Introduction to the Human Body 2. Cells 3. Tissues 4. Development 5.
