Ross and Wilson: Anatomy and Physiology in Health and Illness (7 International ed)

This well-established and popular book provides nurses and other health workers with a thorough knowledge of the structure and functions of the human body, and the changes that occur when diseases disrupt normal processes.

For the seventh edition, large parts of the text have been rewritten to update subject matter and provide new material.

Chapter one continues to provide a brief overview of the interrelationships between the body systems, with stylized illustrations showing the links between the various parts.

Later chapters contain anatomically accurate illustrations, more detailed physiological material and description of the associated, commonly occurring diseases, including the likely progress and probable outcome of untreated disease.

The pathophysical material has been placed at the end of each chapter so that, in all cases, the abnormal follows the normal.
