520			_a"The sixth edition of Human Anatomy and Physiology is designed to provide accurate, current information about the structure and function of the human body in an interesting and readable manner. It is especially planned for students pursuing careers in allied health fields, who have minimal backgrounds in physical and biological sciences. The text is organized in units, each containing several chapters. These chapters are arranged traditionally, beginning with a discussion of the physical basis of life and proceeding through levels of increasing complexity. Unit 1 introduces the human body and its major parts. It is concerned with the structure and function of cells and tissues; it introduces membranes as organs and the integumentary system as an organ system. Unit 2 deals with the skeletal and muscular systems that support and protect body parts, and make movements possible. Unit 3 concerns the nervous and endocrine systems that integrate and coordinate body functions. Unit 4 discusses the digestive, respiratory, circulatory, lymphatic and urinary systems. These systems obtain nutrients and oxygen from external environment; transport these substances internally; use them as energy sources, structural materials, and essential components in metabolic reactions; and excrete the resulting wastes. Unit 5 describes the male and female reproductive systems, their functions in producing offspring, and the growth and development of the determination of individual traits and their passage from parents to offspring."
