Integrated Human Physiology is a laboratory book and manual that focuses on the four basic human tissues: epithelia, connectives, nervous, and muscles. By taking a unique tissues-based approach to the study of physiology, this text departs from the traditional, systems-based approach to learning and emphasizes cell functionality, cohesiveness, and integration.

Physiological topics and concepts are organized into five units—Balance Systems and Dynamic Constancy, Muscle Tissue Physiology, Nervous Tissue Physiology, Connective Tissues Physiology, and Epithelial Tissues Physiology—each of which includes chapters with explanatory text, interactive laboratories, diverse learning activities, and  compelling review questions with concise explanations. The new edition also includes an improved full-color layout and eye-catching photography of the human body’s functionality, among other features.
