Eleventh Edition
by Gerard J. Tortora and Bryan H. Derrickson
In the eleventh edition of Principles of Anatomy and Physiology the authors have maintained the superb balance between structure and function and continue to emphasize the correlations between normal physiology and pathophysiology, normal anatomy and pathology, and homeostasis and homeostatic imbalances.
The acclaimed illustration program is now even better thanks to the input of hundreds of professors and students and the re-development of many of the figures depicting the toughest topics. The eleventh edition now fully integrates this exceptional text with a host of innovative electronic media.
Includes a Brief Atlas of the Skeleton, Surface Anatomy, and Selected Medical Images at no additional charge.
