Anatomy & Physiology (7th Ed.)
Auteurs : Marieb Elaine, Hoehn Katja
For two-semester courses in anatomy & physiology.
A streamlined option to equip students for success in A&P and beyond
Anatomy & Physiology, 7th Edition answers the demand for a leaner version of Elaine Marieb and Katja Hoehn?s best-selling Human Anatomy & Physiology while maintaining the trusted, accurate, and carefully-paced approach of the more comprehensive 11th Edition. A total of 26 abridged chapters focus on core concepts and allow instructors to expand on broader topics such as pregnancy, development, and genetics outside of reading assignments from the text.
The 7th Edition motivates and supports learners at every level, from novice to expert, equipping them with 21st century skills to succeed in A&P and beyond. Hallmark Focus Figures and an expanded number of summary tables and in-line figures help learners practice and develop visual literacy skills. A greater variety and range of self-assessment questions guide students in advancing from mastering A&P terminology to applying knowledge in clinical scenarios and performing the critical thinking and problem-solving skills required for entry to nursing, allied health, and exercise science programs.
Also available with Mastering A&P
By combining trusted author content with digital tools and a flexible platform, Mastering personalizes the learning experience and improves results for each student.Mastering personalizes learning and improves results for each student. Built for, and directly tied to the text, Mastering A&P enables an extension of learning, allowing students a platform to practice, learn, and apply outside of the classroom.

About our authors
Elaine N. Marieb received her Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and then joined the faculty of the Biological Science Division of Holyoke Community College. While teaching at Holyoke Community College, where many of her students were pursuing nursing degrees, she wanted to better understand the relationship between the scientific study of the human body and the clinical aspects of the nursing practice. To that end, while continuing to teach full time, Dr. Marieb pursued her nursing education, which culminated in a Master of Science degree with a clinical specialization in gerontology from the University of Massachusetts. It is this experience that has informed the development of the unique perspective and accessibility for which her textbooks and lab manuals are so well known.
Dr.Marieb passed away in 2018 after a lifetime of supporting numerous institutions and programs. Perhaps her favorite cause was helping students, especially nontraditional students, pursue their goals in science. She gave generously to provide opportunities for them to further their education by, to name just one example, funding the E. N. Marieb Science Research Awards at Mount Holyoke College. She also believed strongly in research: she underwrote the renovation of the biology labs in Clapp Laboratory at Mount Holyoke College and provided funding for reconstruction and instrumentation of a cutting-edge cytology research laboratory at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
Her legacy of contributing to science education lives on through the Elaine Nicpon Marieb Foundation, which provides support to multiple causes and organizations. In 2021, the Foundation provided a generous donation to University of Massachusetts, Amherst, which is now home to the Elaine Marieb College of Nursing. Dr. Marieb has also provided philanthropic support to Florida Gulf Coast University, which is home to the Elaine Nicpo
