The Test Bank also includes the Companion Website online quiz questions. Both multiple-choice and short-answer questions are provided. The Test Bank consists of a broad range of questions covering the key facts and concepts in each chapter. *Layered Art PowerPoints: Selected key figures throughout the textbook are prepared as step-by-step and animated presentations that build the figure one piece at a time *Figures & Tables: Includes all the figures and tables from the chapter, making it easy to insert any figure into an existing presentation *Unlabeled Figures: Unlabeled versions of all figures are provided All the artwork has been reformatted and optimized for exceptional image quality when projected in class. *Figures & Tables: All of the textbook's figures (both line art and photographs) are provided as JPEG files at two sizes: high-resolution (excellent for use in PowerPoint) and low-resolution (ideal for web pages and other uses). The Animal Physiology, Fourth Edition Instructor's Resource Library (IRL) contains a wealth of resources for use in lecture development and assessment. *Flashcards help students learn and review the many new terms introduced in the textbookįor Instructors (available to qualified adopters) These can be assigned by the instructor or used as self-quizzes. *Online Quizzes cover key material in each chapter. *Box Extensions expand on topics introduced in the textbook and cover important additional conceptual material *Chapter Outlines & Summaries provide quick overviews and reviews of each chapter The Animal Physiology Companion Website includes content that expands on the coverage in the textbook as well as study and review resources for students. For all three authors, teaching physiology to undergraduate students has been a lifelong priority. Carefully worded balloons are used extensively to guide students through the interpretation of figures. Pedagogical aids include embedded summaries throughout chapters, study questions (with online answers), partially annotated reference lists, an extensive glossary, ten appendices (covering logarithms, phylogenetically independent contrasts, basic physics terms, etc.), and an upgraded index. Concepts from chemistry, physics, and mathematics are explained so that the book will be accessible to science students at the sophomore or higher level. Always, the central organizing principle for the array of topics presented is to understand whole animals in the environments where they live.Ĭomplex principles are developed clearly using classroom-tested pedagogy, often with carefully designed conceptual illustrations. The subject matter of animal physiology is also linked to topics in human affairs, such as athletic training and global warming.
With this edition, coverage of physiologically relevant genomics has been greatly expanded. The book's extensive coverage of genomics and cellular-molecular biology is therefore carefully linked to whole-animal biology. The whole animal is the principal focus of this book. Concepts and integrative themes are emphasized while giving students the specifics they need. Whereas mammalian physiology is consistently treated in depth, emphasis is also given to the other vertebrate groups, arthropods, and molluscs. The book is committed to a comparative approach throughout. The book includes five additional, briefer "At Work" chapters that apply students' newfound physiological knowledge to curiosity-provoking and important topics, including diving by marine mammals, the mechanisms of navigation, and muscle plasticity in use and disuse. Each of the twenty-five main chapters starts with an animal example to engage student interest and demonstrate the value of the material that will be learned. Its full-color illustrations include many novel, visually-effective features to help students learn. The book takes an entirely fresh approach to each topic. Integration extends from genes to organ systems and from one physiological discipline to another. Animal Physiology, Fourth Edition, presents all the branches of modern animal physiology with a strong emphasis on integration of physiological knowledge, ecology, and evolutionary biology.
