Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology is a new ebook title for the Public Health Digital Library.  Responding to requests for a resource in the subject, the title was added in May.  The title supports practitioners and learners in emergency response and emergency medical services.

Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology is in its 8th edition.  Authors Valerie Scanlon and Tina Sanders create a knowledge base aimed at learners of diverse backgrounds.

• Student Objectives or a chapter ouline
• New Terminology, get familiar with new with
• Study Outline or a  summary of chapter essentials
• Review Questions for self-learning reinforcement
• For Further Thought for continued thinking

 

According to the authors three themes tie the work together:

• the relationship between physiology and anatomy
• the interrelations among the organ systems
• and the relationship of each organ system to maintaining a normal functioning state or homeostasis.

To guide the self-learner, the book uses ‘Takeaways’, a few questions at the end of each section of a chapter for key points of learning.  The text itself has been updated or reformatted with more tables and bullet points replacing longer stretches of prose.  Review Questions, and For Further Thought sections also provide learning points for self-guided or instructor-learner situations.
