Cohen, Barbara J. (author.). Hull, Kerry L., (author.).

Summary: "Memmler's Structure and Function of the Human Body is a textbook for introductory-level allied health and nursing students who need a basic understanding of anatomy and physiology and the interrelationships between structure and function. Like preceding editions, the 12th edition remains true to Ruth Memmler's original vision. The features and content specifically meet the needs of those who may be starting their health career preparation with little or no science background"--
