Hallmark features of this title
- Running Problems explore a real-world disease or disorder throughout the chapter. Students check their understanding by comparing their answers with the Problem Conclusion at the end of the chapter.
- Figure Questions and Graph Questions are frequent stop-and-think opportunities to reinforce important concepts and build visualization and graphing skills. Answers appear in Appendix A.
- Concept Checks appear at intervals throughout the chapter and test students before they move on.
- 4-Level Review Questions help build students' confidence as they progress from answering factual questions, to conceptual problems, to analytical exercises, concluding with quantitative questions.
- 4 core concepts in biology, mostly related to physiology, are explored throughout the text.

New and updated features of this title
- Try it Activities present a real-world research problem or classic experiment and guide students in analyzing the data and thinking like a scientist as they consider different outcomes, design a follow-up experiment or form a hypothesis.
- UPDATED: Figure 1.15 Focus on…Graphing integrates instructions and example graphs more closely to engage students in active learning and concludes with the Try It activity.
- ENHANCED: Figure 1.3 Focus on…Mapping includes succinct hints, updated recommendations for creating electronic concept maps and an illustrated 3-step example.
- EXPANDED: Easy-to-Follow Instructions help students integrate information by creating concept maps and flow charts.
- Content updates throughout the text reflect the dynamic state of physiology research and include developments using Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSs), mechanisms of axonal transport and associated diseases, the role of the kidney in hypertension and more.
- UPDATED: Learning Outcomes appear at the beginning of every chapter to provide a learning framework for students, allowing them to easily test their knowledge after reading.
