Tortora's Principles of Anatomy and Physiology

Product Information

I spent so many hours reading, making notes and translating the information in the book into my mind and because of this I feel such an intimate connection to this book it wouldn't be right to leave it off my list. I should note that I don't read through textbooks in their entirety, but use them to supplement lectures, or when I don't understand something, or when I want to look up things in more detail.

Other good ones include Costanzo (the big one, not the review) and of course Guyton, which is classic. When course materials are presented in an organized way, students are more likely to stay focused, develop mastery, and participate in class. Tortora is Professor of Biology and former Biology Coordinator at Bergen Community College in Paramus, New Jersey, where he teaches human anatomy and physiology as well as microbiology. The authors seem to anticipate questions that might arise and answer them directly and in doing this they sometimes repeat themselves which instead of being repetitive creates a full picture and ties different areas to each other.But for med school a single general anatomy textbook or atlas to supplement the material your med school provides you should be sufficient for most students. Inspired by several biology professors while in college, he decided to pursue physiology with an intent to teach at the college level. TORTORA is Pr ofessor of Biology and former Biology Coordinator at Bergen Community College in Paramus, New Jersey, where he teaches human anatomy and physiology as well as microbiology. He received his bachelor's degree in biology from Fairleigh Dickinson University and his master’s degree in science education from Montclair State College.

His students continually recognize Bryan's efforts and care by nominating him for a campus award known as the "Valencia Professor Who Makes Valencia a Better Place to Start. He is a member of many pr ofessional organizations including the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS), the American Society of Microbiology (ASM), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the National Education Association (NEA), and the Metropolitan Association of College and University Biologists (MACUB).

He has been a member of many professional organizations, including the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS), the American Society of Microbiology (ASM), American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), National Education Association (NEA), and the Metropolitan Association of College and University Biologists (MACUB). Nationally, he is a member of the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) and the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT). For what it's worth, if anything, if I had to recommend a single atlas, I'd probably recommend Grant's. Bryan Derrickson of Valencia Community College in Orlando, Florida joins Jerry Tortora as a co-author, bringing his background and expertise in physiology in balance with Jerry's focus on anatomy.

The clinicians represent an array of possible future careers for the students, including doctors and nurses but also EMT, audiologist, acupuncturist, and radiologic technician.
