It is helpful to have lecture and lab textbooks to reference throughout the A&P series, but there is not a single "required" textbook that is assigned.  You will want something with descriptions and good labeled images to reference outside of class, and you can choose what works best based on your learning preferences. The following are textbooks that I recommend, which are available in the Rock Creek bookstore. Used and older editions are just fine.  You can use these materials for all three classes in the A&P series, and many students also appreciated keeping them as references for their medical programs.

Optional lecture textbooks:

• "Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology," Martini, Nath & Bartholomew, 12th edition, Pearson. [This has excellent labeled images, and clear text descriptions. Older, used editions are available for much less money and are just fine too].
• " edited by Lindsay Biga for Oregon State University, OER Openstax. [Free OER resource, but does not have as many images, consider pairing this with the optional lab book below.]

Optional lab textbook:

• "Marieb Human Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual," Smith. 14th edition, Pearson. [Older editions are great too, and can be purchased for much less money, look for: "Human Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Manual," Marieb and Smith, Pearson.]  Highly recommended.
