The phenomenally successful Principles of Anatomy and Physiology continues to set the discipline standard with the 15th edition. Designed for the 2-semester anatomy and physiology course, Principles of Anatomy and Physiology combines exceptional content and outstanding visuals for a rich and comprehensive classroom experience. Enhanced for a digital delivery, the 15th edition, gives students the ability to learn and explore anatomy and physiology both inside and outside of the classroom.

Bryan Derrickson is Professor of Biology at Valencia College in Orlando, Florida, where he teaches human anatomy and physiology as well as general biology and human sexuality. He received his bachelor's degree in biology from Morehouse College and his Ph.D. in cell biology from Duke University. Bryan's study at Duke was in the Physiology Division within the Department of Cell Biology, so while his degree is in cell biology, his training focused on physiology. At Valencia, he has served as a member of the Faculty Senate, which is the governing body of the college, and as a member of the Faculty Academy Committee (now called the Teaching and Learning Academy), which sets the standards for the acquisition of tenure by faculty members. Nationally, he is a member of the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) and the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT). Bryan has always wanted to teach. Inspired by several biology professors while in college, he decided to pursue physiology with an intent to teach at the college level. He is completely dedicated to the success of his students. He particularly enjoys the challenges of his diverse student population, in terms of their age, ethnicity, and academic ability, and finds being able to reach all of them a rewarding experience. His students continually recognize Bryan's efforts and care by nominating him for a campus award known as the "Valencia Professor Who Makes Valencia a Better Place to Start." Bryan has received this award three times.

Gerard J. Tortora is Professor of Biology and former coordinator at Bergen Community College in Paramus, New Jersey, where he teaches human anatomy and physiology as well as microbiology. He received his bachelor's degree in biology from Fairleigh Dickinson University and his master's degree in science education from Montclair State College. He is a member of many professional organizations, such as the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS), the American Society of Microbiology (ASM), American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAS), National Education Association (NEA), and the Metropolitan Association of College and University Biologists (MACUB). Above all, Jerry is devoted to his students and their aspirations. In recognition of this commitment, Jerry was the recipient of MACUB's 1992 President's Memorial Award. In 1996, he received a National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development (NISOD) excellence award from the University of Te4xas and was selected to represent Bergen Community College in a campaign to increase awareness of the contributions of community colleges to higher education. Jerry is the author of several best-selling science textbooks and laboratory manuals, a calling that often requires an additional 40 hours per week beyond his teaching responsibilities. Nevertheless, eh still makes time for four or five weekly aerobic workouts that include biking and running. he also enjoys attending college basketball and professional hockey games and performances at the Metropolitan Opera House.

This document provides information about the 15th edition of the textbook "Principles of Anatomy and Physiology" by Gerard J. Tortora and Bryan Derrickson. It includes biographies of the authors, acknowledgements of contributors, and a preface describing the enhanced digital resources available through WileyPLUS to help students learn anatomy and physiology. Key features highlighted include 3D animations, interactive exercises, and adaptive practice to build proficiency.Read less

Biology by Campbell and Biological Science by Freeman were written for students who do not have a background in science. The books cover topics of cells, immunology, and gas exchange in enough detail to allow you to study anatomy and physiology in more depth. You will notice that the biology texts contain animal examples as well as human examples. You can just skip over the animal examples!

This module will explore a range of fundamental concepts relating to systems physiology applied within the area of medicine and healthcare. You should expect a range of interactive lectures and practical workshops that explore the systems studied applied to medicine/ healthcare. Examples of such include a heart dissection, spirometry and general clinical skills on obtaining standard vitals (temperature. blood pressure, respiratory rate and heart rate). We will also have a problem-based learning session in which you will be presented with a clinical scenario, you discuss in small groups, create questions, conduct your own research and come back with knowledge on the areas you identified as a group.
