Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology for Healthcare Students offers a clear and engaging introduction to the fundamental concepts of human anatomy and physiology. Authored by David Sturgeon, this first edition is written specifically for beginners in their studies. The book systematically explores the human body from atomic and cellular levels through to all major systems, including detailed chapters on blood, immunity, and homeostasis.

Each chapter builds logically upon the previous one, designed to progressively develop readers’ knowledge and understanding of the human body’s intricate structures and functions. By the end of each section, students will grasp how these components are organized and their roles in maintaining health. The text also delves into how illnesses and diseases disrupt homeostasis, enabling learners to anticipate and explain the consequences.

To support student learning, the book includes self-assessment questions, rich full-color illustrations, and a comprehensive glossary. Ideal for nursing and healthcare students at both further and higher education levels, this resource is indispensable in preparing them for their academic and professional journeys.
