Infos

The Human Body in Health & Disease 3rd edition, not only presents a body systems approach with a strong emphasis on vocabulary and basic anatomy and physiology concepts, but it also presents the basic mechanisms of disease and pathologic conditions associated with each body system. This comprehensive text is dominated by two unifying themes: the complementarity of structure and function and homeostasis. The integrating principle of homeostasis is used to show how "normal" structure and function is achieved and maintained. Failures of homeostasis are shown as basic mechanisms of disease. As a result, anatomy, physiology, and pathology emerge as living and dynamic topics of personal interest and relevance to the student at this level. Content covers topics in a very friendly writing style that has won the loyalty of many users and has made Health & Disease one of the top-selling books in this market.
