Students in anatomy and physiology (A&P) often have difficulty visualizing complex physiology concepts that require deep understanding. The fourth edition of A Visual Guide to Human Physiology by Paul A. Krieger uses visual analogies to assist students in learning the details of human physiology. Using these analogies and other tools (mnemonic devices and conceptual illustrations), students are able to take objects and processes they know from everyday life and apply them physiological concepts with which they are unfamiliar.

Students in anatomy and physiology (A&P) often have difficulty visualizing complex structures of the human body (anatomy) and concepts that require deep understanding (physiology). The fifth edition of A Visual Guide to Human Anatomy & Physiology by Paul A. Krieger uses visual analogies to assist students in learning the details of human A&P. Using these analogies and other tools (mnemonic devices and conceptual illustrations), students are able to take objects and processes they know from everyday life and apply them to understand anatomical structures and physiological concepts with which they are unfamiliar. This edition of A Visual Guide to Human Anatomy & Physiology (VAGAP) has been digitized to enhance learning by adding interactive self-quizzes, 3D anatomical models, videos, downloadable coloring pages, and assessments, as well as updates to colors and features in many original illustrations.
