Anatomy and Physiology is a complex subject spanning many health science disciplines. Instructors are faced with the challenge of making A&P relatable to students of all fields with relevant content for our region.
Principles of Anatomy and Physiology, 3rd Asia-Pacific Edition is brought to you by a team of local authors who have set the bar in delivering highly local content and exploring local contemporary case studies that relate to students' specialisations. Feedback from A&P lecturers has inspired the development of Tortora's brand-new imported media library that easily integrates into your LMS.
This engaging resource includes bite-size Lightboard Videos by local academics and interactive exercises. Academic integrity is a burning sectoral issue, which is why this edition brings you a new multimedia testbank, letting you set formative and summative assessments with various question types.
