The illustrations in this textbook are excellent, and the lab exercises are great for studying. It is a good complement to the textbook, because it provides a very brief synopsis of the more complicated chapters in the textbook. It is very easy to understand. The author has done an amazing job with this text, the pictures alone are worth the money and provide a solid foundation to learning the detailed concepts of physiology.

Anatomy and Physiology : The Unity of Form and Function: 4 out of 5 stars based on 1 user reviews.

Summary

With Saladin, students make connections through learning outcomes and assessments, integrated media, and a writing style that clearly depicts anatomy and physiology processes. A consistent set of chapter learning tools helps students identify and retain key concepts while the stunning visual program provides a realistic view of body structures and processes. The sixth edition is further improved by a complete integration of the text with extensive digital teaching with Connect and learning tools such as Anatomy & Physiology Revealed. Saladin's text requires no prior knowledge of college chemistry or cell biology, and is designed for a two-semester A&P course.
