A thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology is the foundation of any career in health care. The complex interactions of the respiratory and cardiac systems affect the entire body. Todays student needs a textbook and resources that provide more than just the basics of how our heart beats and how we breathe in order to understand how the different organs and systems of the body, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, nervous system, and musculoskeletal system, interact. Students need this information presented in both print and an accessible electronic format.
