- Case Study Investigations
- Real-World Applications
- Critical Thinking & Assessment
- Interactive Anatomy Tool
Immediately capture students’ attention with Case Study Investigations and medical mysteries at the beginning of each chapter. Keep them intrigued with CSI Break hints and questions throughout the chapter that reinforce major points of knowledge. The case study examples are inclusive and represent the diversity students will encounter in their careers.

Engage students and help them connect Anatomy & Physiology concepts to their own lives. Stimulating sidebars stress the importance of health workers’ civic responsibility, strong ethics, and an awareness of related medical research. Contemporary special topic boxes help students learn STEM connections.

Students delve into end-of-chapter activities that address critical thinking, practical application, comprehension, and exploration of current research. Chapter content is organized into short sessions that end with questions to quickly assess students’ comprehension.

A.D.A.M. Interactive Anatomy online tool enhances study with incredibly detailed graphics, precision accuracy, and advanced functionality. The A.D.A.M. platform is similar to what is used in medical school education and continuing education for health professionals.

Dr. Brian Robert Shmaefsky earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in Biology and doctorates in Environmental Physiology and Science Education from the University of Illinois and Southern Illinois University. He also worked within various areas of healthcare, including X-ray technology, forensic science and biochemical production.
Dr. Shmaefsky has taught high school and college-level science courses since 1986, and is a fervent proponent of using case studies, creative thinking and problem-based learning in the classroom. For his innovations in science teaching, Dr. Shmaefsky has received awards from organizations such as the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). He is currently working on grant-funded projects aimed at improving science education.

Applied Anatomy & Physiology gives students the knowledge and problem-solving skills they need for a successful future in medicine. Students are able to connect what they are learning to current research and trends, understand practical applications, and explore anatomy in detail with the A.D.A.M. Interactive Anatomy Tool.
"My goal for teaching A&P is to make content understandable but comprehensive. I also want the content to be relevant to the students’ careers and everyday life. I am committed to encouraging the success of underrepresented students as well as advantaged students."
