Anatomy and Physiology for Paramedical Practice: A Comprehensive Guide

Designed specifically for paramedicine students, Anatomy and Physiology for Paramedical Practice is a unique textbook that integrates anatomy and physiology in a way that’s relevant to future practice in the field.

A Novel Approach to Learning Anatomy and Physiology

Unlike other textbooks, this book presents anatomy and physiology by body region, rather than system. This approach mirrors the way paramedics typically approach patients in acute illness or trauma situations, focusing on regions such as the chest rather than the respiratory system.

Understanding the Human Body: A Logical and Coherent Approach

The book guides readers through different regions of the body in a logical and coherent way, covering anatomy first, followed by the physiology of various structures. Extensive cross-referencing enables a deeper understanding of individual regions and their connections.

Features that Enhance Learning

• Clearly written text supported by relevant and informative illustrations
• Text boxes covering applied anatomy, clinical anatomy, applied physiology, and clinical physiology
• Self-test multiple choice questions in each chapter to reinforce learning

About the Authors

Written by Roger W. Soames BSc(Human Biology) PhD(Human Sciences) and Abduelmenem Alashkham MBBS MSc PhD, this book is the result of their expertise and dedication to creating a valuable resource for paramedicine students and healthcare professionals.

A Valuable Resource for Healthcare Professionals

The underlying principle of this book is that a sound anatomical knowledge underpins successful understanding of physiology and physiological processes. As such, it will be invaluable for undergraduate and postgraduate students in paramedicine/emergency medicine, as well as many other healthcare professionals looking to brush up on their knowledge.
