About this ebook

The Anatomy & Physiology: An Integrative Approach (2nd Edition) by Michael P. McKinley, Valerie D. O'Loughlin, and Theresa S. Bidle covers the complete range of topics required for a traditional, two-semester college-level human anatomy and physiology sequence. [1, 2]

The textbook is uniquely structured into 29 chapters divided across major fundamental units. It uses an "integrative" style, meaning structural anatomy and functional physiology are discussed together within the same chapters rather than separated. [1, 2]

The detailed breakdown of the topics and chapters covered includes:

Unit 1: Foundations of Anatomy and Physiology

Chapter 1: The Sciences of Anatomy and Physiology – Introduction to the disciplines, levels of organization, and homeostasis.
Chapter 2: Atoms, Ions, and Molecules – Chemical basis of life, water properties, chemical bonds, and biological macromolecules.
Chapter 3: Energy, Chemical Reactions, and Cellular Respiration – Enzyme functions, metabolic pathways, and the extraction of ATP.
Chapter 4: Biology of the Cell – Plasma membrane structure, membrane transport, organelles, and cellular division.
Chapter 5: Tissue Level of Organization – Epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue classifications. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Unit 2: Support and Movement

Chapter 6: Integumentary System – Skin layers (epidermis and dermis), hypodermis, hair, nails, and exocrine glands. [1]
Chapter 7: Bone Tissue and Skeletal System – Bone cells, compact and spongy bone, intramembranous and endochondral ossification, and bone remodeling. [1]
Chapter 8: Axial and Appendicular Skeleton – Identification of the skull, vertebral column, thoracic cage, pectoral/pelvic girdles, and limbs. [1, 2]
Chapter 9: Articulations (Joints) – Fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joints; mechanics of joint movement.
Chapter 10: Muscle Tissue – Microscopic anatomy of skeletal muscle, sliding filament theory, muscle metabolism, and contraction mechanics. [1, 2]
Chapter 11: Muscular System – Axial and appendicular muscle groups, muscle attachments, actions, and naming conventions. [1]

Unit 3: Integration and Control

Chapter 12: Nervous System: Nervous Tissue – Neurons, glial cells, myelination, synapses, and action potentials.
Chapter 13: Brain and Cranial Nerves – Cerebral cortex, cerebellum, brainstem, limbic system, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and the 12 cranial nerves.
Chapter 14: Spinal Cord and Spinal Nerves – Gross anatomy of the spinal cord, nerve plexuses, and reflex arcs.
Chapter 15: Autonomic Nervous System – Comparison of sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions and neurotransmitters.
Chapter 16: Senses – General receptors and special senses (olfaction, gustation, vision, hearing, and equilibrium).
Chapter 17: Endocrine System – Major glands (hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, pancreas), hormone mechanisms, and feedback loops.

Unit 4: Regulation and Maintenance

Chapter 18: Cardiovascular System: Blood – Plasma composition, form elements (erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets), hematopoiesis, and blood typing.
Chapter 19: Cardiovascular System: Heart – Internal/external anatomy, electrical conduction system, cardiac cycle, and cardiac output.
Chapter 20: Cardiovascular System: Vessels and Circulation – Arteries, veins, capillaries, blood pressure dynamics, and major circulatory routes.
Chapter 21: Lymphatic System – Lymph fluid, lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, and tonsils.
Chapter 22: Immune System (Innate and Adaptive Body Defenses) – Non-specific defenses, T and B lymphocyte activation, antibodies, and immunological memory.
Chapter 23: Respiratory System – Upper and lower respiratory tracts, pulmonary ventilation, gas exchange, and gas transport.
Chapter 24: Urinary System – Kidney anatomy, nephron structure, glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption/secretion, and urine elimination.
Chapter 25: Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Balance – Intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments, acid-base buffering, and compensation systems.
Chapter 26: Digestive System – Gastrointestinal tract layers, organs (stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas), mechanical/chemical digestion, and absorption.
Chapter 27: Nutrition and Metabolism – Macronutrients, micronutrients, absorptive/postabsorptive states, and metabolic rate. [1, 2, 3]

Unit 5: Continuity of Life

Chapter 28: Reproductive System – Male and female reproductive anatomy, spermatogenesis, oogenesis, the ovarian/uterine cycles, and hormonal regulation.
Chapter 29: Development, Pregnancy, and Heredity – Fertilization, embryonic and fetal periods, stages of labor, prenatal testing, and basic genetic inheritance patterns.
