The Fifth Edition of Starr and McMillan's best-selling HUMAN BIOLOGY is designed to help students understand human biology by engaging them in learning in every way possible. The book's extensive array of multimedia resources enriches the book's hallmark features: unique visuals on every page, applications in every chapter that show how human biology is inextricably linked to everyday life, and activities and resources throughout the book that encourage critical thinking. Segments on the FREE accompanying interactive CD-ROM, as well as the CNN Today Videos, Web links, and reading from the InfoTrac College Edition library are all integrated with the text to support, illuminate, and reinforce the text. Starr and McMillan's visuals work hand in hand with the authors' clear writing. Each basic concept appears as a one- or two-page Concept Spread. This format helps students focus on information in manageable easy-to-understand segments. Main points are laid out clearly, summarized, and reinforced by visuals. The carefully written transitions between Concept Spreads help students grasp how each concept fits into the whole story of the remarkable human body.

Asks the student to write all answers in this study guide/workbook. This workbook is interactive because it requires students to do things instead of just read more material. All questions are arranged by chapter modules so students may skip unassigned material. Each module in the study guide refers to the page numbers of the corresponding module in the text. There is a wide variety of questions: multiple-choice questions; tables to be filled in; art to be labeled; true/false questions requiring students to write the correct answer if the statement is false; thought-provoking conceptual questions; boldfaced terms requiring a written definition; list of objectives in fill-in-the-blank format; and other types of questions.

This trendsetting text introduces the key concepts of biology to non-biology majors using clear explanations and unparalleled visuals. While mastering core concepts, each chapter challenges students to question what they read and apply the concepts learned, providing students with the critical thinking skills and science knowledge they need in life. Renowned for its writing style the new edition is enhanced with exclusive content from the National Geographic Society, including over 200 new photos and illustrations. New People Matter sections in most chapters profile National Geographic Explorers and Grantees who are making significant contributions in their field, showing students how concepts in the chapter are being applied in their biological research. Each chapter concludes with an Application section highlighting real-world uses of biology and helping students make connections to chapter content. Providing selected chapters from BIOLOGY: CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS, this text is ideal for courses that emphasize human applications.

Examination Questions and Answers in Basic Anatomy and Physiology

ISBN: 3319755994

This second edition provides 2400 multiple choice questions on human anatomy and physiology, and some physical science, separated into 40 categories. The answer to each question is accompanied by an explanation. Each category has an introduction to set the scene for the questions to come. However, not all possible information is provided within these Introductions, so an Anatomy and Physiology textbook is an indispensable aid to understanding the answers. The questions have been used in end-of-semester examinations for undergraduate anatomy and physiology courses and as such reflect the focus of these particular courses and are pitched at this level to challenge students that are beginning their training in anatomy and physiology. The question and answer combinations are intended for use by teachers, to select questions for their next examinations, and by students, when studying for an upcoming test. Students enrolled in the courses for which these questions were written include nursing, midwifery, paramedic, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nutrition and dietetics, health sciences, exercise science, and students taking an anatomy and physiology course as an elective.
