Anatomy & Physiology, 1st Edition
By Gail Jenkins and Gerard Tortora
Developed for the two-semester Anatomy & Physiology course, Jenkins, Anatomy & Physiology is focused on aiding critical thinking, conceptual understanding, and application of knowledge. Real-life clinical stories allow for a richer investigation of content, ensuring that students understand the relevance to their lives and future careers.
WileyPLUS for Anatomy & Physiology includes Episodes, which bring the content to life through vivid, real-world examples. Video storytelling is enhanced by other visual elements – such as graphics, definitions, and quotations – to activate students’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of the material. Through Episodes, you will make the content personally relevant to your students and increase their motivation in the course.

Real Anatomy
3-D imaging software that allows students to dissect through over 40 layers of a real human body to study the anatomical structures of all body systems. The software is integrated in WileyPLUS along with assessment designed to optimize student use.
3-D Physiology
Animations Bring Physiology to Life: 3-D Physiology is an animation series that breaks down the most difficult physiological concepts for you to teach and your students to learn.
Features Include:
-
- Muscles in Motion: Animations that show the muscles that move every major joint of the human body.
- Interactions: Animations, interactive exercises, games concept maps, and animated case stories that help students solidify the concepts.
- PowerPhys: Physiological laboratory simulations that use algorithmic data.
