Anatomy & physiology

This new textbook answers the need for a briefer version of Martini's Fundamentals of Anatomy Physiology for the 2-semester anatomy and physiology course. With condensed explanations and less detailed discussions, this slim volume retains Martini's award-winning art program, key clinical discussions, and clear, straightforward writing style. Accompanied by a first-rate, text-specific supplements package, Anatomy Physiology provides instructors and students with a compact and efficient learning system.
