The study of human anatomy and physiology is about more than just memorizing body parts and functions. Fully comprehending the human body requires a profound understanding of functions, systems and structures, and a practical application of the facts. Applied Anatomy & Physiology is a fresh approach to teaching the fundamental principles and the practical application of those principles to your high school students. The second edition of Applied Anatomy & Physiology has been updated to address current educational standards and now includes an online interactive tool and an improved Workbook and Laboratory Manual.

IntroductionThe Anatomy Series of 2001 was made in a quantity of eighty panels, taking three weeks to complete. The set considered the landscape of the human physical system.The panels were worked on flat, painting twelve at a time in rotation. They were laid out on an old framed work which also served as a container for the pool of colour washed over the textured surface. Two inch square wooden cubes were used to stack the panels in small towers to dry out.Various factors steered the series development: there was an initial colour plan, I thought about the load-bearing pressures on the body, of the complex interplay of its organs, nervous energy and circulation, and supporting frameworks of bone, muscle and soft tissue. The paintings formed a continuing conversation with the colour plan, with titles assigneed later to photographs of resulting works. The ambition has been to achieve the identity of the body not by literal description, but by equivalents found by chance in the passage of an abstract process.ContentsAorta, Arch of Atlas, Arm, Artery, Atrium, Bladder, Bones, Brain, Branches, Breast, Bronchi, Bulb, Buttocks, Canal, Capillary, Cartilage, Cavity, Cells, Cervix, Cleft, Column, Compartments, Cornea, Cuneiform, Diaphragm, Digits, Discs, Ducts, Duodenum, Ear, Esophagus, Fascia, Femur, Fibula, Finger, Fissure, Follicle, Foot, Gland, Gonadotropins, Heart, Heel, Hip, Intestine, Iris, Jaw, Knee, Knuckle, Labia, Labyrinth, Ligament, Metatarsal, Mouth, Neck, Nucleus, Orifice, Pelvis, Perineum, Philtrum, Pubis, Rectum, Retina, Rib Cage, Sacrum, Scalp, Shin, Shoulder, Skin, Skull, Spine, Spleen, Stomach, Teeth, Testicle, Thorax, Throat, Thumb, Tongue, Veins, Wrist.

This book offers physiology teachers a new approach to teaching their subject that will lead to increased student understanding and retention of the most important ideas. By integrating the core concepts of physiology into individual courses and across the entire curriculum, it provides students with tools that will help them learn more easily and fully understand the physiology content they are asked to learn. The authors present examples of how the core concepts can be used to teach individual topics, design learning resources, assess student understanding, and structure a physiology curriculum.

Here’s the ideal companion to Understanding Anatomy & Physiology: A Visual, Interactive Approach, 3rd Edition or as a stand-alone guide to reinforce A&P concepts.
