Integrating Systems Clinical Cases in Anatomy and Physiology

Integrating Systems: Clinical Cases in Anatomy and Physiology presents real-life examples to help students new to anatomy and physiology demonstrating how anatomy and physiology work together to enable the human body to respond to a range of external challenges.

Students will be able to build their knowledge by engaging with a mix of scenarios focusing on the variations of ‘normal’. The inclusion of concept maps, questions, answers and rationales will provide students and instructors the necessary tools to effectively understand the integration of body systems and prepare for common presentations in practice.
