- The illustration program has been improved. Over 50 revised illustrations help students further clarify difficult concepts. As before, icons that show the location of a particular body part have been added to illustrations where appropriate. Also, the Visual Focus illustrations explain complex process with step-by-step statements.
- Additional Objectives Questions have been added to chapters 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, and 17 giving the student more opportunities to test their recall of chapter concepts.
- Over 50 Further Readings have been added to Appendix D.
- Many of the illustrated concepts in the text can be explored further by
using The Dynamic Human: The 3D Visual Guide to Anatomy and Physiology CD-ROM
the WCB Life Science Animations (LSA) video, LSA Animated Essential Study
Partner series. A Dynamic Human icon videotape icon and/or a filmstrip icon
appear at the end of appropriate figure legends to indicate that there are
corresponding materials. See the correlation charts in the Technology section
beginning on page xxii of the Preface.
A website, containing an Online Learning Center with instructor and student resources such as Web links, Quizzes, Student Study Guide, Case Studies, Clinical Applications, and Matching Activities provides additional resources you will enjoy and appreciate.
The Essential Study Partner, free with each new text, contains more than 100 animations and more than 800 learning activities. This powerful CD-ROM contains a text guide correlated to the material presented in Understanding Human Anatomy & Physiology. A film icon placed in the text beside topics and concepts that are animated on the CSD alerts students to a resource that helps explain complex concepts.
