Anatomy, Physiology, & Disease: Foundations for the Health Professions: 2026 Release

The 3rd Edition of Anatomy, Physiology, & Disease: Foundations for the Health Professions: 2026 Release provides health professions students with an introductory foundation in human body systems. This textbook presents the structural organization and functional principles of the human body, helping students prepare for academic work across health science disciplines.

The main thematic coverage explores normal body function during homeostasis and explains how homeostatic disruptions lead to clinical diseases and physical disorders. By connecting healthy biological operations directly to pathological changes across body systems, the text establishes clear links between standard physiology and specific disease mechanisms.

Measurable learning outcomes direct students throughout the textbook, workbook, and digital program to guide structured study habits. This instructional framework supports student practice in introductory courses focusing on anatomy and physiology or integrated programs covering anatomy, physiology, and pathology.
