Study Notes

Human Physiology: Eighth Edition

  • Textbook by Dee Unglaub Silverthorn, Ph.D.
  • Eighth edition
  • Integrated approach
  • Focus on core concepts, not just memorization
  • Utilizes active learning: Activities, questions, and videos to enhance understanding
  • Emphasizes integration of organ systems
  • Includes problem-solving scenarios, case studies, and critical thinking activities to assist students
  • Various learning tools to enhance understanding
  • Key concepts like communication, energy, structure-function, and homeostasis are frequently used across the book.
  • Dedicated to colleagues who provided feedback for the first edition

Key Features of the Book and Learning Process

  • Top 10 ways to succeed in classes that use active learning
  • Chapter-specific learning outcomes to guide study
  • Running problem- physiology-related scenario that reinforces learning throughout the chapter
