About this ebook

Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology, 5th Edition by Donald C. Rizzo and Elisa Ratliff is structured into 19 comprehensive chapters designed for a one-semester introductory course. The textbook focuses on how body systems collaborate to maintain homeostasis. [1, 2]

The specific topics covered are organized chronologically below:

Part 1: Foundations of the Human Body

Chapter 1: The Human Body – Introduction to anatomy and physiology, anatomical terminology, directional terms, body planes, cavities, and the concept of homeostasis. [1]
Chapter 2: The Chemistry of Life – Basic chemical principles, atoms, molecules, bonds, pH, water, and organic compounds like carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. [1, 2]
Chapter 3: Cell Structure – Cellular anatomy, organelle functions, and the mechanisms of membrane transport. [1]
Chapter 4: Cellular Metabolism and Reproduction – Energy production (ATP synthesis, glycolysis, aerobic respiration), protein synthesis, and cell division via mitosis and meiosis. [1]
Chapter 5: Tissues – Structure and functions of the four primary tissue types: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue. [1]

Part 2: Support and Movement

Chapter 6: The Integumentary System – Structure and function of the skin, hair, nails, and sweat glands, plus skin disorders. [1, 2]
Chapter 7: The Skeletal System – Bone tissue structure, skeletal development, and classification of the axial and appendicular skeleton. [1]
Chapter 8: The Articular System – Classification of joints, structural features, types of body movements, and joint disorders. [1, 2]
Chapter 9: The Muscular System – Skeletal muscle histology, mechanism of muscle contraction, major muscle groups, and muscle physiology. [1]

Part 3: Communication and Control

Chapter 10: The Nervous System: Introduction, Spinal Cord, and Spinal Nerves – Organization of the nervous system, neurons, neuroglia, action potentials, and spinal cord anatomy.
Chapter 11: The Nervous System: The Brain and Cranial Nerves – Major regions of the brain, cranial nerves, cerebrospinal fluid, and higher brain functions.
Chapter 12: The Endocrine System – Major endocrine glands, hormone mechanisms, and their regulatory functions in metabolism and development. [1, 2]

Part 4: Transport and Maintenance

Chapter 13: The Blood – Composition of blood, plasma, functions of red and white blood cells, platelets, blood typing, and clotting.
Chapter 14: The Cardiovascular System – Anatomy of the heart, cardiac cycle, conduction system, blood vessels, and blood pressure regulation.
Chapter 15: The Lymphatic System and Immunity – Lymphatic pathways, lymph nodes, spleen, nonspecific body defenses, and mechanisms of adaptive immunity.
Chapter 16: The Respiratory System – Anatomy of the respiratory tract, mechanics of breathing, gas exchange, gas transport, and respiratory disorders.
Chapter 17: The Digestive System – Anatomy of the alimentary canal and accessory organs, chemical and mechanical digestion, and nutrient absorption.
Chapter 18: The Urinary System – Kidney structure, nephron function, urine formation, fluid-electrolyte balance, and acid-base regulation. [1, 2]

Part 5: Continuity of Life

Chapter 19: The Reproductive System – Anatomy and physiology of the male and female reproductive systems, meiosis, and overview of human development. [1]
