Product Description
#1 selling book with great explanations, and just enough anatomy!

Now in its 10th edition, Fox is the best-selling book in this market. Clear explanations and a solid learning framework have been market tested and refined. Fox help students master the fundamentals by providing appropriate anatomical detail.

Human Physiology, Tenth Edition, is intended for the one-semester Human Physiology course often taken by allied health and other biology students. The beginning chapters introduce basic chemical and biological concepts to provide students with the framework they need to comprehend physiological principles. The chapters that follow promote conceptual understanding rather than rote memorization of facts.

Health applications are included throughout the book to heighten interest, deepen understanding of physiological concepts, and help students relate the material to their individual career goals. Every effort has been made to help students integrate related concepts and understand the relationships between anatomical structures and their functions.

5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't part with this after the class ended, March 18, 2009

By	Jeff Howard, "eclectic afficianado" (Agoura Hills, Ca.) - See all my reviews

Maybe it was just a great class, entertaining and knowledgeable professor (Dr. L. G. Thouin at Pierce College), or the subject matter, but I think the presentation of information, layout, and illustrations in the text helped keep me excited, motivated, and on top of a complex subject.
