Feature Summary
Over 30 years have passed, and Hole’s Human Anatomy and Physiology is still Hole’s Human Anatomy and Physiology— but with a sharper focus and appearance.
• Preview Chapter – We have added a new feature to the 11th edition. The Preview Chapter not only provides valuable study tips for students but also outlines how the students and instructors can utilize the pedagogical features of the text.
• Cadaver Atlas Plates – The cadaver atlas photos have been moved from the back of the book. They now follow the appropriate chapter.
• Understanding Words – All Understanding Words at the beginning of each chapter are now included in the Aids to Understanding Words on the inside back cover for quick reference.
• Design— Table fonts are larger! The text’s design injects new life into the study of anatomy and physiology. Bright, bold, modern colors are used throughout the feature boxes, tables, and chapter openers, making them easy to recognize.
• Illustrations—Hole’s art focuses on the main concepts by using concise labeling methodology that keeps students from getting bogged down with excessive detail. Difficult concepts are broken down into easy-to-understand illustrations.
• Chapter Openers—Chapter opener images provide a closer look inside the wonders of the human body through the technologies of scanning electron micrography, endoscopic photography, and immunofluorescent light micrography. Interesting, creative, and thought-provoking vignettes introduce chapter material, with readings on such topics as universal precautions, hepatitis A, and post-mortem sperm retrieval.
• From Science to Technology—The “From Science to Technology” readings cover topics such as Inherited Immune Deficiency – Children Who Made Medical History.
• Clinical Applications—Some new, some updated, all fascinating.
• Review Exercises and Critical Thinking—Updated end-of-chapter review exercises check understanding of the chapter’s major ideas. Critical thinking questions encourage the student to apply information to clinical situations.
