From the completely new, exceptional art program, to the complete integration of the text with technology, Saladin
has formed a teaching solution that will both motivate and enable your students to understand and appreciate the
wonders of anatomy and physiology. This distinctive text was developed to stand apart from all other A&P texts
with unparalleled art, a writing style that has been acclaimed by both users and reviewers and clinical coverage
that offers the perfect balance without being too much. Saladin's well-accepted organization of topics is based
upon the most logical physiological ties between body systems. The text requires no prior knowledge of college
chemistry or cell biology, and is designed for a two-semester A&P college course.
