Anatomy & Physiology: The Unity of Form and Function weaves a rich tapestry that blends core scientific principles, clinical insights, the history of medicine, and the evolution of the human body. Saladin’s approach infuses a humanistic view into the study of anatomy and physiology, brought to life with vivid photographs and artwork, designed to captivate and inspire newcomers to the subject.

To help students navigate the vast array of information in this introductory course, the content is organized into concise segments. Each section is clearly aligned with specific learning outcomes and includes self-assessment questions for review. This structured approach fosters a more streamlined and engaging learning experience, making the study of anatomy and physiology both accessible and stimulating.

Saladin’s text is written using plain language for A&P students who may be taking this course early in their curricula. Careful attention has been given to word selection and paragraph structure to maintain the appropriate writing level for all students.

This edition draws on recent literature and scientific conferences attended by the author to update many topics, including but not limited to molecular, vascular, and brain imaging techniques; peroxisome and mitochondrial behavior; the DNA damage response; gene regulation; epigenetics; the tissue interstitium; regenerative medicine; osteoporosis; prosthetic joints; fibromyalgia; sleep physiology; trigeminal neuralgia; pain physiology; endocrine functions of osseous and adipose tissue; diabetes mellitus; cord blood transplants; thrombopoiesis; AIDS; prostate diseases; breast cancer; aging; life expectancy; and assisted reproductive technology.

This edition features new drawings of epidermal histology, flat bone structure, lever mechanics, Parkinson disease, lumbar puncture, hand innervation, Bell palsy, the vagus nerve, olfactory pathways, erythropoiesis, cardiac innervation, regulation of cardiac output, air embolism, colonic histology, lipoprotein structure, cleft lip and palate, and senescent muscle atrophy.
