"As a multidisciplinary author team, we are bound bye a common passion to make the anatomy and physiology course a springboard to a rewarding career in a range of health-related professions. We have created an extensive body of features that bring anatomy and physiology concepts to life through sport, exercise science and clinical scenarios that students will easily relate to. The central theme of this resource — homeostasis — is a universal one, and we have arrived to deliver deeper student engagement and understanding through the context, examples and applications we have highlighted from our local region. We couldn't have built a resource of this magnitude on our own, and would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all our academic colleagues who reviewed our work and the participants of the Wiley advisory boards. We would also like to thank Jerry Tortora and Bryan Derrickson for the outstanding source material, and the team at Wiley Australia for their support and encouragement throughout this journey. Wiley's commitment to affordability in this subject area is something we warmly welcome as an author team who want to see our resource as accessible as possible for students in our region." —Preface Contents: Chapter 1: An introduction to the human body — Chapter 2: The chemical level of organisation — Chapter 3: The cellular level of organisation — Chapter 4: The tissue level of organisation — Chapter 5: The integumentary system — Chapter 6: The skeletal system: bone tissue — Chapter 7: The skeletal system: the axial skeleton — Chapter 8: The skeletal system: the appendicular skeleton — Chapter 9: Joints — Chapter 10: Muscular tissue — Chapter 11: The muscular system — Chapter 12: Nervous tissue — Chapter 13: The spinal cord and spinal nerves — Chapter 14: The brain and cranial nerves — Chapter 15: The autonomic nervous system — Chapter 16: Sensory, motor, and integrative systems — Chapter 17: The special senses — Chapter 18: The endocrine system — Chapter 19: The cardiovascular system: the blood — Chapter 20: The cardiovascular system: the heart — Chapter 21: The cardiovascular system: blood vessels and haemodynamics — Chapter 22: The lymphatic system and immunity — Chapter 23: The respiratory system — Chapter 24: The digestive system — Chapter 25: Metabolism and nutrition — Chapter 26: The urinary system — Chapter 27: Fluid, electrolyte, and acid–base homeostasis — Chapter 28: The reproductive systems — Chapter 29: Development and inheritance — Appendix A: Measurements — Appendix B: Periodic table — Appendix C: Normal values for selected blood tests — Appendix D: Normal values for selected urine tests — Appendix E: Pronunciation key — Index.
