The book Ross Wilson’s Anatomy and Physiology in Health and Illness are written by Anne Waugh, and Allison Grant. Ross & Wilson has been a staple text for students of anatomy and physiology for nearly 60 years. This latest edition has been written to meet the needs of allied health professionals, including nurses and nursing students, allied health professions, and complementary therapies, many of whom have found previous editions invaluable. It retains the successful and straightforward approach of describing body systems and how they work. The anatomy and physiology of health are supplemented by sections that describe common age-related changes in structure and function, before considering the pathology and pathophysiology of some major disorders and diseases.
The human body is presented system by system. The reader must, however, remember that physiology is an integrated subject, and although the systems are considered in separate chapters, they all work cooperatively to maintain health. The first three chapters provide an overview of the body and describe its main structures and fundamental processes.
