how the students and instructors can utilize the
pedagogical features of the text.Cadaver Atlas Plates The cadaver atlas photos

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
Conquering Inherited Immune Deficiency—
Children Who Made Medical History.Clinical Applications Some new, some updated,
all fascinating.Review Exercises and Critical Thinking Updated

thinking questions encourage the student to apply
information to clinical situations.
