·      New and enhanced visual program -- New illustrations appear throughout this 11th edition.  In particular, all images for the skeletal and muscular systems have been newly rendered in a more realistic, contemporary style.  Many of these images have been enlarged to provide easier viewing of the anatomical details.    Most cadaver photographs and histology micrographs are new to this edition and come from Mark Nielsen’s laboratory.  These photographs are paired with the illustrations, offering students an enriched visual environment from which to learn. 

·      MP3 Downloads – Selected illustrations within the text, highlighted  by an iPod icon, indicate that a MP3 file is available for download.  These audio files provide narration and discussion about the illustration and content that it depicts.

·      NewExhibits in the Skeletal System Chapters -- The use of the Exhibit format is expanded to include the axial and appendicular skeleton for the first time.   These beautifully illustrated, self-contained units of content organize and simplify the material to maximize student study time

·      Clinical Material is revised and streamlined.  –  Newly designed Clinical Connections boxes enhance each chapter and bring relevance to material just discussed.  Many of these are now illustrated.     Additional clinical material can be found in an accompanying volume, Clinical Connections, which is packaged with each new textbook.
