Human Physiology with CD-ROM

<P>Every student package automatically includes Interactive Physiology CD-ROM and access code for The Physiology Place website for Silverthorn. The human physiology text that broke new ground with its thorough coverage of integrative and molecular physiology topics has been revised with shorter chapters, clearer figures and diagrams, and is now automatically packaged with the award-winning <I>InterActive Physiology®</I> CD-ROM.</P><p></p><UL><LI><B>Three chapters on Integrative Physiology</B> (Chapters 13, 20, and 25) ask students to step back and look at the big picture to discover how the separate physiological processes work together in an integrated system. These chapters also explore how body systems influence each other and show that overall systems are often more complicated than the sum of their component parts. </LI></UL><UL><LI><B>Superb art program features:</B> <UL><LI><P><B>Anatomy Summaries</B> that show in one large spread the anatomy of a physiological system from a macro to micro perspective.</P></LI></UL><UL><LI><P><B>Reflex pathway maps</B> and <B>concept maps</B> that present material in a logical, consistent format.</P></LI></UL><UL><LI><P><B>Figure and graph questions</B>, many that are new to the <B>Third Edition</B>, that require active learning and analytical skills.</P></LI></UL></LI></UL><UL><LI><B>Real-life running problems</B> appear in segments throughout each chapter and provide clinical applications relevant to chapter material. </LI></UL><UL><LI><B>Coordinated set of boxed features</B> enhances students' learning: <UL><LI><P><B>Focus On boxes</B> highlight the physiology and anatomy of important organs that are often overlooked.</P></LI></UL><UL><LI><P><B>Clinical Focus boxes</B> use their clinical perspective to highlight the importance of molecular physiology to the functioning of organ systems and to show how body systems work together.</P></LI></UL><UL><LI><P><B>Biotechnology</B> and <B>Emerging Concepts boxes</B> explore ideas and techniques on the cutting edge of today's physiology.</P></LI></UL><UL><LI><P><B>Diabetes theme boxes</B> make diabetes a more integrated part of the learning system. Students can use these continuing explorations of the disorder as a key for understanding how the whole body works together.</P></LI></UL></LI></UL><UL><LI><B>Meticulous pedagogy</B> includes beginning-of-chapter <B>Background Basics</B> sections that allow students to revisit and review topics for the upcoming chapter, and <B>Concept Links</B> (signaled with blue chain link symbols) that help students locate material they need to review. </LI></UL><UL><LI><B>Concept Check questions</B> appear at the ends of key sections in each chapter and help students process information and assess their knowledge of facts and concepts before continuing to the next topic. </LI></UL><UL><LI><B>End-of-chapter, 4-level learning system</B> helps build student confidence and understanding through a logical progression from factual questions to conceptual problems to analytical exercises to quantitative questions. The variety of questions also gives instructors flexibility in assigning homework from the text: <UL><LI><P><B>Level 1 questions</B> review basic facts and terms.</P></LI></UL><UL><LI><P><B>Level 2 questions</B> test the student's ability to comprehend and integrate the key concepts in the chapter.</P></LI></UL><UL><LI><P><B>Level 3 exercises</B> are real-world scenarios designed to develop problem-solving skills.</P></LI></UL><UL><LI><P><B>Level 4 questions</B> are new quantitative questions that require mathematical skills.</P></LI></UL></LI></UL><UL><LI>Answers to Level 4 questions now appear at the end of each chapter, and answers to Levels 1-3 questions remain available on the Companion Website. More Level 3 and Level 4 questions have been added to the end-of-chapter sections, including several new exercises with graphs and data manipulation. </LI></UL>
