For courses in Human Physiology Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach is the #1 best-selling 1-semester human physiology text world-wide. The 8th Edition engages students in developing a deeper understanding of human physiology by guiding them to think critically and equipping them to solve real-world problems. Updates, such as new Try It activities and detailed teaching suggestions in the new Ready-to-Go Teaching Modules, help students learn and apply mapping skills, graphing skills, and data interpretation skills.

The text reflects Dr. Silverthorn's active learning style of instruction and builds upon the thorough integration of 'big picture' themes with up-to-date cellular and molecular physiology topics that have always been the foundation of her approach.

Mastering with Pearson eText gives you access to the Mastering platform plus the eText app, personalisation with notes and highlights, integrated videos, animations, and practice questions, and links from Mastering for quick help.

To access Mastering you need a Course ID from your instructor.

Dee Unglaub Silverthorn studied Biology as an undergraduate at Tulane University and earned a Ph.D. in Marine Science at the University of South Carolina. She began her teaching career in the Physiology Department at the Medical University of South Carolina but has taught a wide range of students over the years, from medical and college students to those still preparing for higher education. At the University of Texas, she lectures in Physiology, coordinates student laboratories in physiology, and instructs graduate students in a course on developing teaching skills in the Life Sciences. She has substantial experience with active learning in the classroom and has given workshops on this subject at regional, national, and international conferences.
