- Increased clinical coverage is demonstrated through a greater quantity of and more visual emphasis on Clinical Notes in each chapter, appealing to students' interests in practical and applied information.
- Clinical Cases, found at the end of each chapter that closes a body system, lead students from a description of a patient's symptoms, through the results of physical exams and lab work, through engaging questions that encourage them to review related content in the preceding chapters, to an analysis and interpretation of the case, and ultimately to the diagnosis.
- Practice Anatomy Lab (PAL™) 2.0 is an interactive, visually-engaging study and lab assessment tool that gives students access to a rich array of anatomy lab specimens including human cadavers, anatomical models, histology slides, cat dissections, and fetal pig dissections. Each of these five specimen modules includes hundreds of images and quiz questions as well as interactive tools for reviewing the specimens and taking practice quizzes and simulated lab practical exams. Practice Anatomy Lab (PAL™) is on the myA&P companion website and on myA&P with CourseCompass. It is also available on CD-ROM for optional value packaging with the book (for no additional charge).
PAL 2.0 features include:
- The all-new Human Cadaver module includes specially-commissioned cadaver photos in all three activity sections.This module also provides a fully rotatable human skull and 17 other key skeletal structures.
- 3D Animations of Origins, Insertions, Actions, and Innervations depict more than 65 muscles in the Human Cadaver module. These 3D Animations are viewable as the student learns and hears the name of a muscle, thereby giving students a one-stop learning experience. Quizzes for the Animations are included.
- Customizable Quizzes and Lab Practicals allow instructors to customize the online gradable Quizzes and Lab Practicals to reflect only those structures on which they want their students to be tested.
- A greatly expanded Histology Module includes more images of different types of tissues.
- Two new body systems, Endocrine and Lymphatic, have been added to the Human Cadaver and Anatomical Models modules.
- The superb art program is improved with brighter colors, increased contrast between colors, and more dimensionality.
- An increased focus on Embryology is achieved through the consolidation of the Embryology sections that previously appeared throughout the book into two substantial sections of material in Chapter 3 (Tissues and Early Embryology) and Chapter 28 (Embryology and Human Development).
- An enhanced and expanded chapter on Surface Anatomy and Cross-Sectional Anatomy includes a new section on the clinical importance of understanding surface anatomy as well as a new art-rich section on cross-sectional anatomy. Eight new and subsequently enhanced cross-sectional images provided by the Visible Human Project help students visualize structures by giving them another perspective on the human body.
- A new lab manual, Michael G. Wood's Laboratory Manual for Human Anatomy, with Cat Dissections, is illustrated by the same illustrators of Human Anatomy, 6/e and is an ideal companion to this textbook (or any other Human Anatomy textbook).
- An enhanced media package features:
- New Practice Anatomy Lab (PAL™) 2.0
- New 3D Anatomy Animations with Quizzes
- New 3D Animations of Origins, Insertions, Actions, and Innervations
- Media Manager 2.1, which includes all illustrations, photos, and tables from the book, all Practice Anatomy Lab (PAL™) images, and all 3D Anatomy Animations with Quizzes, and all 3D Animations of Origins, Insertions, Actions, and Innervations with Quizzes.
- An extensively updated and improved companion website, which includes Practice Anatomy Lab (PAL™) and the new 3D Anatomy Animations with Quizzes, and all 3D Animations of Origins, Insertions, Actions, and Innervations with Quizzes.
