Clinical Applications of Human Anatomy and Physiology for Healthcare Professionals

Abstract

Anatomy and Physiology is effectively a broad introductory course that requires the student to devote an enormous amount of effort to understand it on even a basic level. While this necessitates time, it can be streamlined in the early stages of one’s learning so that the student may understand why he or she is required to invest such a large amount of time into learning - Clinical Applications of Human Anatomy & Physiology is the textbook that accomplishes this.

Clinical Applications of Human Anatomy & Physiology is a book that combines both areas of knowledge for a full comprehension of the human body. It is targeted to healthcare students in need of a better understanding of human physiology to combine with their clinical training. The main objective of this book is to elucidate the organization and functioning of the major organs and systems with an emphasis on the applications of this knowledge on the daily clinical routine.

One of the main differences of this textbook that sets it apart from others is that it not only provides the information: it also contextualizes it. Every chapter starts introducing a case study that is related to the content that is going to be approached. At the end of the chapter, there is the conclusion of each case study, which presents the final diagnosis showing every step of the process. This context is essential so that, when the student faces this situation in the real-life clinic he or she will be able to deal with it efficiently. Clinical Applications of Human Anatomy & Physiology also has sections of questions to practice the knowledge that was obtained during the chapter, and the answers to each question are explained so no doubts remain after studying. All of this means that Clinical Applications of Human Anatomy & Physiology is a fully rounded book that combines information and practical applications, as well as questions that help the student to understand and retain all the information in a very efficient and effective way. This book has all the information you need to get started on your journey to learning about the human body.

REVIEWS and PRAISE

The author took the reader step by step through the structures with easy to grasp explanations. The illustrations complete the package.
Cynthia Bauman, PMHNP-BC

As a NP with not a whole lot of experience in the skeletal system, I was impressed at how easy it was for me to pick up basic concepts
Susan DePasquale, MSN, FPMHNP-BC

Often nurses begin their careers with not a whole lot of experience in every body system. This text makes an impressive effort to take readers through basic concepts of body system anatomy and physiology. The sections are well organized, and just the right amount of basic learning content for each body system.
