Principles of Anatomy & Physiology - Tortora
Tortora’s Principles of Anatomy and Physiology comes highly recommended as an anatomy and physiology text, and should serve as a good foundation for more advanced studies in anatomy and physiology. After you have mastered Tortora you may want to take a look at Guyton's text on physiology.
- Principles of Anatomy and Physiology by Call Number: QS 4 .T712PISBN: 9781119662792Publication Date: 2020-10-13From the very first edition, Principles of Anatomy and Physiology has been recognized for its pioneering homeostatic approach to learning structure and function of the human body. The 16th edition continues to set the discipline standardby combining exceptional content and outstanding visuals for a rich and comprehensive experience. Highly regarded authors, Jerry Tortora and Bryan Derrickson motivate and support learners at every level, from novice to expert, and equip them with the skills they need to succeed in this class and beyond.
Biology
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!
