Written and illustrated by experts who are both research scientists and teachers , it features 250 striking, original illustrations that will give students a clear and enduring understanding of physiology. Learning interactively, through coloring, thoroughly fixes physiological concepts in the mind and takes less time than memorizing from textbooks. Physiological processes are fully explained, and complex subjects are approached through the gradual introduction of simple drawings.

Each lesson includes clearly displayed labels and specific coloring instructions. This book is an invaluable and lasting resource for students in disciplines including anatomy and physiology, biology, nursing, physical therapy and rehabilitation, medical technology, nutrition, physical education, allied health and health sciences. The 250 plates in the book are organized in the following sections: Homeostasis The Cell Transport Mechanisms Nervous System Muscle Cardiovascular System Renal System Respiratory System Gastrointestinal System Metabolism Endocrine System Reproduction
