Move beyond memorization: Preparing for tomorrow's challenges.
Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach engages you in developing a deeper understanding of human physiology by guiding you to think critically and equipping you to solve real-world problems. Updates, such as new Try It activities, help you learn and apply mapping skills, graphing skills, and data interpretation skills. The text reflects Dr. Silverthorn's active learning style of instruction, and builds upon the thorough integration of "big picture" themes with up-to-date cellular and molecular physiology topics that have always been the foundation of her approach.
