Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology provides a comprehensive introduction to the human body, exploring its structure and function from the cellular level to organ systems. Emphasizing the interrelationship between anatomy and physiology, this text covers anatomical terminology, basic chemistry, cell biology, tissues, and major organ systems (skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive). Clear explanations, illustrative figures, and clinical examples enhance learning and showcase how these systems maintain homeostasis. This resource is ideal for undergraduate students in nursing, allied health, and pre-med programs, providing a strong foundation for further studies in the health sciences. Key concepts include feedback mechanisms, membrane transport, muscle contraction, nerve impulses, and hormone regulation.
