P. 90 change Facilitated diffusion to Facilitated transport.
Osmosis now reads as follows: Osmosis is the movement of pure water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane, such as a blood vessel, from an area of higher particle concentration to an area of lower particle concentration. (Particles include salt and serum albumins.) The more dissolved solids the solution contains, the greater the movement of water into the solution from an area containing fewer solids. Osmosis is an important force in the movement of water between various parts of the body and is key to understanding why sufficient salt and protein maintain a pregnant woman's circulating blood volume.

P. 92 the first paragraph below the chart now reads: Inclusion bodies are stored substances in the cytoplasm. They include melanin, the pigment in skin, hair and eyes that screens out ultraviolet rays; glycogen (stored glucose) and lipids (stored in fat cells) both of which can be broken down for energy, and mucus which provides lubrication and protection. The first paragraph of Cellular reproduction now reads: The above structures contribute to cell maintenance on a daily basis. However, cells may become damaged, diseased or worn out and then die; but most cells have a programmed lifespan. Cell division is the process by which cells reproduce themselves. It consists of the division of the nucleus and the cytoplasm, a process known as mytosis.

P. 94, the numbered items at the top of the page should be 6 and 7 (not 5 and 6).

P. 140 the two sentences beginning in the second line below the illustration of the heart should read: The tricuspid valve connects the right atrium to the right ventricle; blood exits the right side of the heart through the pulmonary valve. The mitral valve connects the left atrium to the left ventricle; blood exits the left side of the heart through the aortic valve.
