With its clarity of presentation, superior art program, and new student and instructor media supplements, the Fifth Edition of the best-selling text for the one-semester Human Anatomy course is better than ever! This award-winning textbook features a large, atlas-style format, appropriately-detailed anatomical illustrations, exceptionally clear photographs of tissues and cadavers, and time-saving study tools to give students a complete understanding of anatomical structures.

The Fifth Edition comes with a comprehensive supplements package, including the new Anatomy 360 CD-ROM, new Clinical Issues in Anatomy booklet, and The Anatomy & Physiology Place companion website. The new Media Manager CD-ROM set helps instructors manage the wealth of interactive resources, artwork, and photographs for easy integration into classroom presentations and lectures.

Award-winning art and photo program:

  • Compound Art Figures provide students with multiple views of the same structure, typically pairing an artist's drawing with a cadaver photograph taken by renowned biomedical photographer Ralph Hutchings. This approach allows students to compare the illustrators’ interpretations with photos of the actual structure as it might be seen in the laboratory or operating room.
  • “Stepped” Art Figures break down multifaceted processes into step-by-step illustrations that coordinate with the authors' narrative descriptions.  These easy-to-follow sequences in the book are also featured in the new Media Manager CD-ROM set for instructors to use in classroom presentations.
  • Macro-to-Micro Views help students bridge the gap between familiar and unfamiliar structures of the body by sequencing anatomical views from whole organs to their smaller parts. A typical illustration might combine a simple orientation diagram (indicating where an organ or structure is located in the human body) with a large, vivid painting of the structure, a corresponding sectional view, and a photomicrograph.

Timesaving, pedagogical study tools:

  • Concept Links, signaled with blue chain link icons, alert students to material that is related to, or builds upon, previous discussions. Each link refers students to a page number for quickly reviewing the relevant material from an earlier chapter.
  • Figure Locator Dots are placeholders that appear next to every figure reference in the narrative. These visible yet unobtrusive red dots help students return to reading after viewing a table or figure.
  • End-of-Chapter, 3-Level Learning System helps build student confidence and understanding through a logical progression from factual questions to conceptual problems to analytical exercises. The variety of questions also gives instructors flexibility in assigning homework from the text. The 3-level learning system is carried through in review exercises on The Anatomy & Physiology Place website.

Integrated focus on embryology:

  • Unique, clearly presented embryology summaries integrated throughout the text provide students with a presentation of the formation of organs and structures on a system-by-system basis during embryological and fetal development.

  • Superb art program is improved and includes re-designed “stepped” art with clearer labels and arrows, more consistent and logical formatting for process art and macro-to-micro views, re-designed embryology summaries, and more realistic treatment (illustration and photo combinations) for organ overviews. 
  • Anatomy 360º™ CD-ROM features highly realistic images and animations to help students learn tough anatomical terms and concepts. The CD features rotatable images, interactive exercises, and self-assessment quizzes. Packaged with each new copy of the text.
  • The Clinical Issues in Anatomy supplement features in-depth clinical information on topics covered in the text. Icons in the main text point students to the supplement where they can read about a clinical topic in more depth. Packaged with each new copy of the text.
  • Critical Linking exercises direct students to The Anatomy & Physiology Place website to read a related article and directly apply their knowledge to the subject.

Frederic H. Martini received his Ph.D. in comparative and functional anatomy from Cornell University. Dr. Martini's publications include numerous journal articles, technical reports, and magazine articles. He is the author of Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology, First Edition, and the Human Body in Health and Disease, First Edition with Edwin Bartholomew, and Foundations of Anatomy and Physiology, First Edition with George Karleskint. Dr. Martini is a member of the American Association of Anatomists, the American Physiological Society, the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society, the National Association of Biology Teachers, the Society for College Science Teachers, the Western Society of Naturalists, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the National Association of Underwater Instructors.

Dr. Martini has been involved in teaching undergraduate courses in anatomy and physiology (comparative and/or human) since 1970. During the 1980s he spent his winters teaching courses, including human anatomy and physiology, at Maui Community College and his summers teaching an upper-level field course in vertebrate biology and evolution at the Shoals Marine Laboratory (SML) for Cornell University. Dr. Martini now retains affiliations with the University of Hawaii and SML.

Robert B. Tallitsch received his Ph.D. in physiology with an anatomy minor from the University of Wisconsin–Madison at the ripe old age of 24. Since then Bob has been on the biology faculty at Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois. His teaching responsibilities include Human Anatomy, Neuroanatomy, Histology, Kinesiology and Cadaver Dissection. Bob is also a member of the Asian Studies faculty at Augustana, and teaches a course in Traditional Chinese Medicine in this program. Bob’s previous research grants, journal articles and abstracts center around the effect of hypoxia on contractile mechanics, sodium and calcium transport in papillary muscles isolated from genetically hypertensive rats. His publications for Prentice Hall include Histology: A Diagnostic Atlas with Ron Guastaferri (Art Coordinator and Illustrator, First Edition, 2004). Bob is a member of the American Physiological Society, AsiaNetwork and the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society. In addition to his teaching responsibilities at Augustana Bob has served as a visiting faculty member in the Department of Cardiology at Johns Hopkins College of Medicine, the Foreign Languages Faculty at the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine and Pharmacology, the Foreign Languages Faculty at Central China Normal University (Wuhan, PRC), and a visiting scientist in the National Institutes of Health Gerontology Research Center at the National Institutes of Aging.

Michael J. Timmons received his degrees from Loyola University, Chicago. For more than three decades he has had a strong commitment to teaching human anatomy and physiology to nursing and preprofessional students at Moraine Valley Community College. Early in his teaching career, Professor Timmons became very interested in publishing in those fields. He is a coauthor of Human Anatomy Laboratory Guide and Dissection Manual, the lab manual that accompanies this text, and of three anatomy and physiology laboratory manuals. He is also the editor of the Prentice Hall Laser Disk with Bar Code Manual; author of Atlas, the laboratory learning system; and content editor for the Instructor’s Presentation Manager 4.0 CD-ROM, which are supplements to this text. His special areas of interest are biomedical photography, crafting illustration programs, and developing instructional technology learning systems. He has authored a series of titles on the dissection of the cat, including A Photographic Atlas of Cat Anatomy, Cat Anatomy Slides: A Visual Guide to Dissection, and numerous study guides.

Professor Timmons is an active member of scientific and professional associations. He is also a national and regional presenter at the League for Innovation Conferences on Information Technology for Colleges and Universities and at Human Anatomy and Physiology Society meetings.
