A Visual Analogy Guide to Human Physiology

The Visual Analogy Guide to Human Physiology, 3e is an affordable and effective study aid for students enrolled in an introductory physiology course. This book uses visual analogies to assist the student in learning the details of human physiology. Using these analogies, students can take things they already know from experiences in everyday life and apply them to physiological concepts with which they are unfamiliar. This book offers a variety of learning activities for students such as, labeling diagrams, creating their own drawings, or coloring existing black-and-white illustrations to better understand the material presented. Features: • Visual analogies, illustrations, labeling, and coloring exercises are used to explain physiological mechanisms. • In the modular format, the text is on the left side and the associated illustrations are on the right-facing page–a user-friendly feature. • Large, high-quality, original illustrations are presented in two colors (black-and-white with colored highlights). • Students may choose to color these illustrations to aid their comprehension of the material. • Helpful icons throughout the book identify microscopic structures, study tips, and two- and three-dimensional structures. • A Visual Index is included for easy referencing. Located on the upper right-hand side of the odd-numbered pages, these visual index illustrations will allow the reader to quickly locate the analogy he or she wishes to study. • Study tips are provided as another student-friendly feature.
