Principles of Human Anatomy, 14th Edition, is a textbook written by Gerard J. Tortora and Mark Nielsen and published by Wiley. The volume provides anatomical coverage designed specifically for a one-term human anatomy course.
The textbook examines foundational biological organization and primary body structures, including the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, nervous, and endocrine systems. It also explores developmental milestones across embryonic and fetal stages, maternal adaptations during pregnancy, and labor.
Organized to assist learners during a single academic term, the work includes pedagogical resources such as chapter reviews, resource summaries, critical thinking questions, and key medical terms.
