Mastering Anatomy & Physiology
Personalise learning, one student at a time
Built for flexibility, Mastering Anatomy & Physiology lets you create a course to best fit the unique needs of your curriculum and your students. A foundation of interactive course-specific content — by authors who are experts in their field — means you can tailor and assign as you see fit.
Digital tools activate learning, to more fully engage learners. And online assessments and data tell you how students are doing, as they go, so you can decide what to teach and how best to teach it.
EXPANDED! Interactive Physiology 2.0 Coaching Activities with new topics including Pulmonary Ventilation, Tubular Reabsorption and Secretion, and Urine Concentration and Volume.
NEW! 10 Histology Videos provide short, focused walkthroughs of some of the most commonly covered tissue types in A&P.
NEW and UPDATED! Bone and Organ Dissection Videos, with 23 updated bone videos and 3 new bone videos for fetal skull, cervical vertebrae, and male and female pelves.
Interactive Physiology 2.0 teaches complex physiology processes using exceptionally clear animations, interactive tutorials, games, and quizzes. Fully accessible on all mobile devices, IP 2.0 tutorials feature brand new graphics, quicker navigation, and more robust activities where students can explore, experiment, and predict.
PhysioEx™ 10.0 Laboratory Simulations in Physiology provide newly formatted exercises in HTML for increased stability, web browser flexibility, and improved accessibility. The 12 Exercises contain more than 60 easy-to-use laboratory simulation activities that complement or replace wet labs.
Practice Anatomy Lab™ (PAL™ 3.1) is an indispensable virtual anatomy study and practice tool that gives students 24/7 access to the most widely used lab specimens including human cadavers, anatomical models, histology, cats, and fetal pigs.
Ready-to-Go Teaching Modules help instructors efficiently make use of the best teaching tools before, during, and after class. Prepared by expert A&P instructors, each module includes a variety of teaching ideas and ready-to-use resources for teaching 10 challenging course topics.

Author bios
After receiving her Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Elaine N. Marieb joined the faculty of the Biological Science Division of Holyoke Community College. While teaching at Holyoke Community College, where many of her students were pursuing nursing degrees, she developed a desire to better understand the relationship between the scientific study of the human body and the clinical aspects of the nursing practice. To that end, while continuing to teach full time, Dr. Marieb pursued her nursing education, which culminated in a Master of Science degree with a clinical specialization in gerontology from the University of Massachusetts. It is this experience that has informed the development of the unique perspective and accessibility for which her publications are known.
Dr. Marieb gave generously to provide opportunities for students to further their education. She funded the E.N. Marieb Science Research Awards at Mount Holyoke College, which promotes research by undergraduate science majors, and underwrote renovation of the biology labs in Clapp Laboratory at that college. Dr. Marieb also contributed to the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where she provided funding for reconstruction and instrumentation of a cutting-edge cytology research laboratory. Recognizing the severe national shortage of nursing faculty, she underwrote the Nursing Scholars of the Future Grant Program at the university.
In 2012 and 2017, Dr. Marieb gave generous philanthropic support to Florida Gulf Coast University as a long-term investment in education, research, and training for healthcare and human services professionals in the local community. In honor of her contributions, the university is now home to the Elaine Nicpon Marieb College of Health and Human Services.
Dr. Katja Hoehn is a professor in the Department of Biology at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Canada. Dr. Hoehn's first love is teaching. Her teaching excellence has been recognized by several awards during her 24 years at Mount Royal University. These include a PanCanadian Educational Technology Faculty Award (1999), a Teaching Excellence Award from the Students’ Association of Mount Royal (2001), and the Mount Royal Distinguished Faculty Teaching Award (2004).
Dr. Hoehn received her M.D. (with Distinction) from the University of Saskatchewan, and her Ph.D. in Pharmacology from Dalhousie University. In 1991, the Dalhousie Medical Research Foundation presented her with the Max Forman (Jr.) Prize for excellence in medical research. During her Ph.D. and postdoctoral studies, she also pursued her passion for teaching by presenting guest lectures to first- and second-year medical students at Dalhousie University and at the University of Calgary.
Dr. Hoehn has been a contributor to several books, written numerous research papers in Neuroscience and Pharmacology, and has co-authored the last four editions of this textbook. For many years, she has also reviewed and authored electronic media that accompanies Pearson anatomy and physiology books.
Following Dr. Marieb's example, Dr. Hoehn provides financial support for students in the form of a scholarship that she established in 2006 for nursing students at Mount Royal University.
Dr. Hoehn is also actively involved in the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) and is a member of the American Association of Anatomists. When not teaching, she likes to spend time outdoors with her husband and two sons. She also enjoys competing in long-course triathlons and playing Irish flute down at the local pub.
