Anatomy and Physiology

If you are a student on an Access to Higher Education programme, this unique series could be just what you're looking for.

Written by two experienced Access lecturers and using the national unit specifications for each subject as a key guide, this series provides total coverage of the course material required to complete

the Access Certificate in the Nursing, Midwifery or Health Profession pathways.

In addition, The Essentials maps the units required for the compulsory and key skills units of any Access course. If you are an Access student on one of the various science pathways, The Natural Sciences is directly relevant to you.

Each unit of the Access course is covered in its own chapter which includes everything you need to know to meet that unit's specification and assessments.

Key features of the series:

- All chapters begin with the basics and no prior knowledge is assumed

- Writing style and examples used are relevant to mature students

- Any jargon and technical terms are explained and, where necessary, a glossary is included.

You no longer need to draw together relevant material from many sources - it's all here, in a series written specifically for you.

In this book, Anatomy & Physiology, Lin Shaw provides you with many accessible illustrations which can be shaded in to help reinforce your learning. Through these diagrams and the straightforward notes accompanying them, the body's structure and systems are clearly explained. The broader issues of progress

in disease control and the links between stress and health are also covered. This is a vital resource if you are a student on the Access to Nursing, Midwifery or Health Professions pathways.

The series authors Bill Myers and Lin Shaw are both Lecturers on the Access programmes at Hastings College of Arts and Technology. Bill teaches Maths and the Natural Sciences and Lin is Course Team Leader for Nursing & Midwifery and is a registered nurse in critical care
