About the Book Text-art integration NEW! SmartArt Videos, narrated by author and anatomical art expert Kevin Petti, walk students through complex physiology figures. The videos help students deconstruct and better understand complicated processes, and provide additional background and detail. SmartArt QR codes appear in the book, providing easy access to the videos. Accompanying assignments are available in Mastering(tm) A&P. NEW! The Art of Teaching A&P: Six Easy Lessons to Improve Student Learning written by author and award-winning teacher Lori Garrett, addresses common challenges students encounter when navigating complex art in textbooks. This handbook-style teaching resource presents each challenge and provides an explanation of the issue, context, and relevant research. Garrett then offers strategies for instructors on how to most effectively overcome these challenges. If they haven''t already received a copy, instructors can request the handbook from their local Pearson Representative.
NEW! "Build-Your-Knowledge" features show how each body system influences the others. As students progress through the book, they are able to build their knowledge about how the body systems work together to maintain homeostasis. NEW! Tips & Tools boxes are brief and concrete learning tools that give students simple analogies and easy memory devices to help them remember facts and concepts. 50 Spotlight Figures provide highly visual one- and two-page presentations of tough topics in the book, focus on physiology, and showcase text-art integration for easier reading and studying. Instructors can assign Spotlight Figure Coaching Activities in Mastering A&P. "Side-by-Side" Figures provide students with multiple views of the same structure, typically pairing an artist''s drawing with a cadaver photograph taken by renowned biomedical photographer Ralph Hutchings. This approach allows students to compare the illustrator''s careful rendering to a photo of the actual structure as it might be seen in the laboratory or operating room. "Step-by-Step" Figures break down multifaceted processes into step-by-step illustrations that coordinate with the authors'' narrative descriptions.
These easy-to-follow sequences in the book are also featured on the Instructor''s Resource DVD (IR-DVD) with a "Step Edit" function that makes it easy for instructors to present the material in classroom presentations. "Macro-to-Micro" Figures help students to bridge the gap between familiar and unfamiliar structures of the body by sequencing anatomical views from whole organs or other structures down to their smaller parts. A typical illustration might combine a simple orientation diagram (indicating where an organ or structure is located in the human body) with a large, vivid illustration of that organ or structure, a corresponding sectional view, and a photomicrograph. Clinical Content includes: UPDATED! Clinical Cases get students motivated for their future careers. Each chapter opens with a story-based Clinical Case related to the chapter content and ends with aClinical Case Wrap-Up that incorporates deeper content knowledge students will have gained from the chapter. After students complete a self-review using questions (and answers) in the book, they can work through the Book-specific Clinical Case Activities in Mastering A&P. UPDATED! Clinical Notes appear within every chapter, expand upon topics just discussed, and present diseases and pathologies along with their relationship to normal function. These Clinical Notes relate directly to what students will encounter in their future careers.
Related Clinical Terms appear at the end of every chapter and present additional clinical terms and definitions relevant to the chapter topic. Chapter-opening numbered Learning Outcomes drive home the connection between the HAPS-based Learning Outcomes and the associated teaching points. Full-sentence section headings do more than introduce new topics: They state the core fact or concept that will be presented in the section. These numbered chapter headings are directly correlated to the numbered Learning Outcomes printed directly beneath each heading, making it easy for students to "see," navigate through, and learn the chapter content. End-of-chapter 3-level learning system helps build student confidence and understanding through a logical progression from factual questions (Level 1) to conceptual problems (Level 2) to analytical exercises (Level 3). The variety of questions also gives instructors flexibility in assigning homework from the text. Also available with Mastering A&P Mastering(tm) A&P is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment product designed to engage students and improve results by helping students stay on track in the course and quickly master challenging A&P concepts. Features in the text are supported by Mastering A&P assignments, including new SmartArt Videos, Interactive Physiology 2.
0, Dynamic Study Modules, Learning Catalytics, Spotlight Figure Coaching Activities, lab study tools, Get Ready for A&P, plus a variety of Art Labeling Questions, Clinical Application Questions, and more. NEW! TEAS and HESI exam practice questions in the Study Area help students prep for the nursing school entrance exam with 150 TEAS and 300 HESI multiple-choice questions and wrong-answer feedback for all questions. NEW! eText 2.0 optimized for mobile eText 2.0 mobile app offers offline access and can be downloaded for most iOS and Android phones/tablets from the Apple App Store or Google Play Seamlessly integrated videos and other rich media Accessible (screen-reader ready) Configurable reading settings, including resizable type and night reading mode Instructor and student note-taking, highlighting, bookmarking, and search NEW! All of the assignments from Wood''s Laboratory Manual for A&P featuring Martini Art, 6th Edition are now included as part of the Fundamentals of A&P Mastering course. Students and instructors only need one Mastering A&P code to access assignments from both the book and lab manual. Videos, Animations and Coaching Activities provide additional guidance and interactivity: NEW! SmartArt Videos help students better navigate key, complex pieces of art. Author Kevin Petti brings his expertise in anatomical art to narrate explanatory videos that walk students through select pieces from the book, providing additional background and detail.
The videos can be accessed via QR codes in the book and offer accompanying assignments through Mastering A&P. NEW! Mobile-ready Interactive Physiology 2.0 helps students advance beyond memorization to a genuine understanding of complex physiological processes. Full-color animations and videos demonstrate difficult concepts to reinforce the material. IP 2.0 features new graphics, quicker navigation, and more robust mobile-ready interactivities where students can explore, experiment, and predict. New IP 2.0 modules include: Resting Membrane Potential, Electrical Activity of the Heart, Cardiac Output, Factors Affecting Blood Pressure, Generation of an Action Potential, and Cardiac Cycle.
Spotlight Figure Coaching Activities bring interactivity to select Spotlight Figures. These highly visual, interactive, multi-part activities include ranking and sorting questions. A&P Flix(tm) Coaching Activities offer stunning 3D visuals of core concepts and tough physiological concepts with in-depth assessments to test student understanding. Video Tutors instruct and coach students on key A&P concepts using art from the book and are accompanied by questions with video hints and feedback specific to their misconceptions. Adaptive features include: Dynamic Study Modules help students study effectively on their own by continuously assessing their activity and performance in real time. Students complete a set of questions with a unique answer format that repeats until the student can answer them all correctly and confidently. Once completed, Dynamic Study Modules explain the concept using materials from the text. These are available as graded assignments prior to class, and accessible on smartphones, tablets, and computers.
NEW! Instructors can now remove questions from Dynamic Study Modules to better fit their course. Adaptive Follow-Up Assignments are based on each student''s past performance on their course work to date, including homework, tests, and quizzes. These assignments provide additional coaching and targeted practice as needed, so students can master the material. Lab Study Tools include: Bone and Dissection Video Coaching Activities review the major bones and organ dissections and are supported with assignable activities that include hints and specific wrong-answer feedback. Practice Anatomy Lab (PAL) 4.0 is a virtual anatomy study and practice tool that provides students 24/7 access to the most widely used lab specimens including human cadaver, histology, cat, fetal pig, 3D and anatomical models.
