This comprehensive and highly visual worktext provides a sound introduction to the anatomy of the human body and its key physiological functions. Chapters cover all 11 body systems, mapping each to its interaction with the rest of the body using annotated diagrams, reinforcing the interrelatedness of the body systems. Homeostasis provides the unifying theme throughout, and four themes: disease, medicine and technology, aging, and exercise provide lenses through which students explore the body systems within relevant contexts. The result is a rounded exploration of the functioning human. This edition concludes with a set of structured research projects to guide students through an in-depth exploration of a topic that interests them. Features and benefits include: • Each chapter opens with clear, achievable learning outcomes for students • Full color throughout • Key ideas provide a main focus for each activity • Glossary encourages scientific literacy • QR codes link to interactive 3D models • Specifically designed summative assessments conclude each chapter.
