Human Anatomy & Physiology (Marieb, Human Anatomy & Physiology) Standalone Book PDF File
Human Anatomy & Physiology by Elaine N. Marieb are the standard text for medical students who need a solid foundation of anatomy, physiology, and endocrinology. This text has detailed photographs and illustrations, along with an explanation of terms like kinesiology, hormonal disorders, thyroid, pituitary gland, and other body systems. Students will learn about human anatomy, physiology, diagnostic testing, physiology, diagnostic procedures, medications, therapeutic modalities, diagnostic processes, patient management, medical ethics, medical legislation, administrative procedures, billing, documentation, and professional standards. The clinical chapter includes a comprehensive introduction to hospital medicine, pathology, and surgical basics. The nursing chapter examines the theories, practices, policies, and standards related to nursing care. The nutrition and health chapter provides general information on nutrition, medical treatments, and healthy life styles.

Each of the six chapters contains detailed explanations of specific topics with ample supporting data. Specific examples from each chapter illustrate important points, provide illustrations, and clarify difficult concepts. Illustrations are appropriate for students in all stages of their medical education; those already familiar with anatomy and physiology may find the images more useful for understanding concepts. Students will benefit from this text as they progress through their degrees.
The writing style of the text is clear and easy to follow. There are plenty of illustrations throughout the text to help students identify illustrations within specific body areas, along with a glossary of medical terms. The only technical reference mentioned is a brief introduction to the section, but that does not detract from the overall accuracy of this text. The student who takes the time to fully understand this text will be better prepared to enter medical school and begin his or her career in a very responsible and fulfilling field.
