Reinforce your understanding of the concepts in Patton's The Human Body in Health & Disease! Corresponding to the chapters in the text, this study guide reviews essential medical terminology, concepts, and processes related to anatomy and physiology, and explains how body systems function in health and disease. Each chapter begins with a quick synopsis of the key points in the textbook chapter. A variety of exercises make it easier to review and apply key concepts, and labeling of anatomy drawings helps in learning anatomical terms and structures.
- Know your Medical Terms feature helps familiarize you with the various word parts used in medical terminology and pairs nicely with the Language of Medicine word lists in the main text to reinforce medical terminology concepts that are key to understanding A&P. - Brief synopsis of core textbook concepts provides a comprehensive review of essential content. - Crossword Puzzles and Word Finds help you master new vocabulary terms. - Application Questions ask you to make judgments based on the information in the chapter. - Diagrams and labeling exercises help reinforce where the structures of the body are located. - Matching and fill-in-the-blank exercises aid in understanding chapter content. - Answers to exercises are provided in the back of the guide, along with references to the appropriate textbook page and the textbook objective, so that you can easily find where the material is presented. - Study tips in the Preface provide an overview of the most effective methods for learning and retaining information.
