Human Anatomy Update, Third Edition uses a functional approach to explain how the shape and composition of the anatomical structures allow them to perform their functions. This gives readers the framework they need to assimilate anatomical concepts and apply them to new situations. The book is distinguished by an art program that brilliantly illuminates the complexities of human anatomy, and a writing style that is clear, informal, and accessible. For this edition, a comprehensive media supplements package has been crafted with the same careful attention to accuracy and teaching effectiveness found in the book.
