Principles of anatomy and physiology 11th edition tortora

Pharmacology is important too but it's a growing and expanding field so it might not be ideal to spend the money to buy a textbook. If you do, though, I've found Katzung helpful. It's good on fundamental principles. Like many, I like Lippincott's for biochemistry. Books on embryology, immunology, genetics, medical dictionaries, and so forth really aren't necessary, I don't think. I should note that I don't read through textbooks in their entirety, but use them to supplement lectures, or when I don't understand something, or when I want to look up things in more detail.

Also, I should mention that many if not most med schools provide students with access to online med books via places like Access Medicine. So no need to buy many textbooks since it's likely you'll be able to access them online via your med school. I think the main focus for the first half of med school should be lectures. Of course, there's always more stuff to learn, but if you stick to your lectures and what your med school expects you to learn, then you won't lose sight of the primary concepts - which you can then build on as it suits you.

Anyway, just my two cents' worth. One reason I'm mentioning all this is because I wasted way more money than I would've liked purchasing all sorts of textbooks that I hardly seem to use, and don't want others to make the same mistake.

I guess it's not "wasted," per se, since I have a bunch of books I can easily reference. Oh well. Live and learn. On the plus side, now others can borrow from me. Daniel Joshua. I would not ordinarily review a school textbook but I have to review this. This book has dominated my life for multiple months. It is the reason I don't have anything else to review.

The tragedy of the semester aside, it was a great book. Not an easy read, but it did the job. I have an old edition of the book and I still managed to get through the class fine.

It has the information that you need. Even if this is not your assigned textbook which it probably is I would grab it. It will help. You can't get through the class without good graphics. This book has amazing pictures and graphs illustrating the topics. I got a high A in the class. It was partly due to an excellent professor, but the book takes a lot of credit too. Now the Laboratory manual was terrible Well written. Excellent graphics. So tastefully done that it has about the only photographs of dissected bodies that I can view and feel fascinated rather than nauseated.

The only thing they need to work on is getting the graphics on the same page as the text they expand upon. This is one of my all-time favorite texts, and I refer to it often. As a matter of fact, I keep it under my desk since it's just the right height for my raised chair, and I imagine all that material is seeping through the soles of my feet while I'm studying other things.

I love this text. The Cardiovascular System: The Heart. The Respiratory System. The Digestive System. The Urinary System. Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Homeostasis. The Reproductive Systems. Development and Inheritance. Appendix A: Mgeasurements A Appendix B: Periodic Table B Appendix E: Answers E The eleventh edition of Principles of Anatomy and Physiology marks a new milestone in the publication of the phenomenally successful Principles of Anatomy and Physiology.

Bryan Derrickson of Valencia Community College in Orlando, Florida joins Jerry Tortora as a co-author, bringing his background and expertise in physiology in balance with Jerry's focus on anatomy. The authors have maintained in the text the superb balance between structure and function and continue to emphasize the correlations between normal physiology and pathophysiology, normal anatomy and pathology, and homeostasis and homeostatic imbalances.

The acclaimed illustration program is now even better thanks to the input of hundreds of professors and students and the re-development of many of the figures depicting the toughest topics for students to grasp. The eleventh edition now fully integrates this exceptional text with a host of innovative electronic media, setting the standard once again for a rewarding and successful classroom experience for both students and instructors.
