Marieb Human Anatomy & Physiology
Katja Hoehn, Lawrence W. Haynes, Matthew A. Abbott · 12th Edition · ISBN 9780138244415 · Pearson
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Marieb Human Anatomy & Physiology (12th Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and exam-style practice questions for all 29 chapters.
Overview
Marieb Human Anatomy & Physiology (12th Edition) is the latest edition of the most widely assigned A&P text, essential for nursing, allied health, and biology students. It works system by system through the entire body, opening with body organization, basic chemistry, cells, and tissues, then the integumentary, skeletal, and muscular systems. The nervous system unit covers nervous tissue, the central and peripheral nervous systems, the autonomic nervous system, and the special senses, followed by the endocrine system, blood, the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems, immunity, and the respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems, finishing with fluid and electrolyte balance, pregnancy and development, and heredity. This study guide is built to match the textbook chapter for chapter, so you study in the same order your professor teaches and can master the structures and physiologic processes the course requires. It is an independent, aligned study guide — not the textbook and not a reproduction of it — designed to highlight the high-yield structures, processes, and reasoning so you can review efficiently for the demanding memorization and concept load of A&P exams.
Aligned with two-semester human anatomy and physiology courses for nursing and allied health, with practice that mirrors the structure-identification and physiology questions tested on course exams.

Questions about this study guide
What exactly do I get?
A printable PDF study guide covering all 29 chapters of Marieb Human Anatomy & Physiology (12th Edition) — chapter summaries, learning objectives, and exam-style practice questions with rationales. One file, lifetime access, no subscription.
How soon will I get it?
Instantly. A download link appears on screen and lands in your inbox the moment your payment clears.
Is this the 12th Edition guide?
Yes. It aligns with the 12th Edition (ISBN 9780138244415). A separate guide covers the 11th Edition, so check your syllabus.
How is this different from the 11th Edition guide?
Both follow the same system-by-system structure; this one is matched to the 12th Edition's content and chapter sequence. Pick the guide that matches your assigned book.
Will this help with the lab practical too?
It focuses on the structures and physiology you need to know, which supports both lecture exams and the conceptual side of lab, though a labeled atlas is still useful for the practical.
Will it match my edition?
This guide is built around the 12th Edition. If your class uses a different edition, chapter numbering may shift slightly, but the topics and learning objectives are usually unchanged.
Do I still need the textbook?
The study guide is a companion, not a replacement — it helps you study efficiently and review fast, but you'll still want the textbook for full depth and any assigned readings. You can buy new, rent, or find a used copy through the price links on this page.
What if it is not what I expected?
Every purchase is backed by a 14-day money-back guarantee — email us within 14 days for a full refund.
Is this a test bank or copied from the textbook?
No. This is an original study guide written to align with Marieb Human Anatomy & Physiology — summaries, objectives, and practice questions with rationales, not a reproduced publisher test bank or copied text.
