Anatomy, Physiology, & Disease

physiology is vital knowledge for all students, and just as significant is an understanding of the abnormal functions of the body. Students seeking careers in the health care field can be doubly motivated when taking an anatomy, physiology, and pathology course, as the personally relevant content also prepares them for their chosen careers. As instructors, we look for a text that is, first and foremost, accurate; is written at an appropriate level for our students-neither too high nor too low; can be customized to accommodate the organization of our individual courses; and will be interesting and appealing to our students--
