• Tables in Chapter 1 highlight important scientific discoveries and influential scientists, with a focus on diverse figures including Katherine Johnson and Neil deGrasse Tyson.

• Diverse Artwork has been added to update photographs, drawings, and figures to showcase diverse patients to offer a more realistic view of human body varying in age, race, weight, height and gender.

• Additional Lab Activities have been added to each chapter include even more hands-on activities as students meet an objective with step-by-step instructions from analyzing microscopic slides, to labeling anatomical charts, to taking clinical experiments.

• Student Workbook has been updated throughout and includes additional “Theory to Practice” activities that mimic those at the end of each chapter.

• An Online Spanish Glossary is included on the companion site for ESL learners.

• One Body feature outlines how each body system interacts with other body systems so that students make connections between chapters.
