Memmler’s Structure and Function of the Human Body, 11th Edition (ORIGINAL PDF from Publisher)

·        Personalized chapter-by-chapter quizzes powered by prepU help students learn more and improve their pass rates on exams, while giving instructors a window into their students’ progress by pinpointing misconceptions, strengths, and weaknesses.
·        A&P in Action boxes open each chapter with a scenario that integrates chapter content into a medical setting, bringing the information to life for students.
·        A&P in Action Revisited boxes, which appear later in the chapter, expand on the opening scenario and encourage students to apply the chapter’s concepts to the outcome of each case.
·        A full-body The Body Visible transparency insert assists students in performing a virtual dissection of the human body from skin down to bone and allows them to test themselves on their understanding of skin, muscles, bones, veins/arteries, etc.  New associated chapter questions deepen student understanding.
·        New Process Diagrams ensure student mastery by calling out and illustrating the steps of a complex process, such as negative feedback control for maintaining homeostasis.
·        New Cadaver Photograph-related Questions help students apply anatomic knowledge to novel situations.
·        New Casepoints (in-chapter review questions) link content to the opening case study.
·        New Critical Thinking Questions that challenge students to apply concepts to the A&P in Action case study help them to understand how basic concepts of anatomy and physiology relate to clinical situations.
·        New Misconception Alerts, marked by an icon, point out common student misconceptions (identified by the prepU adaptive quizzing program) to improve understanding of important ideas.
·        New One Step at a Time features expand on basic science concepts introduced in the case study or the text by walking students step-by-step through higher level critical thinking activities, such as developing scientific learning and problem-solving skills.
·        Checkpoint questions throughout each chapter help students review key points.
·        Hot Topics boxes focus on cutting-edge topics and research, reinforcing the link between anatomy and physiology and everyday life.
·        Clinical Perspectives boxes focus on diseases and disorders related to the chapter, helping students understand what happens when the normal structure-function relationship breaks down.
·        Health Maintenance boxes offer useful information on how to keep the body healthy.
·        A Closer Look boxes provide in-depth scientific detail on selected topics.
·        Zooming In questions in the figure captions allow students to test their understanding of important visual aspects of the illustration.
·        A Look Back feature provides a short paragraph highlighting content from prior chapters that will help students understand the current chapter.
·        Learning Objectives identify the important content to learn in each chapter.
·        A strong conceptual focus is reflected in more illustrations of basic biologic concepts and more learning diagrams that take students step-by-step through complex processes, such as sensory pathways, cardiac function, and nerve impulse transmission.
·        Ancillary callouts identify additional resources available online, such as animations, supplementary figures, a quiz bank, and health career information to enhance learning.
·        End-of-chapter study aids include a summary overview (visual outline), key terms (end-of-chapter list), a word anatomy (medical terminology) activity, and questions for study and review that test recall, comprehension, and critical thinking with a variety of question styles, including fill-in-the-blank, multiple-choice, short-answer, and short essay, as well as questions that require students to apply body process and system knowledge to the chapter-opening case study.
