No grammatical errors were noted. British/Australian spelling is used throughout the book (e.g. Chapter 3, section 6 is titled, “Tissue Injury and Ageing”). Some terms known to differ by region, such as epinephrine and adrenaline, and norepinephrine and noradrenaline appear to have been used interchangeably.

The format was consistent with important terms being in bold print and fundamental process figures included with all important physiology.

This textbook is a tool to support first year anatomy and physiology courses taught in Australia, aiming to provide students with an increased access to free, high-quality learning materials. The material in this textbook is largely based on OpenStax’s Anatomy & Physiology textbook, however, has been modified for Australian course curriculum. The coverage and scope of the current text includes: The content is up-to-date using the modern descriptive terms rather than older terms that included people's names. Dr Kate Kauteris an Associate Professor in biomedical science at the University of Southern Queensland. She has taught anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology and microbiology to students from many disciplines including nursing, biomedical sciences, food sciences and agricultural sciences, among others. Kate has developed a number of digital activities to increase student interaction with these content areas and has deployed the use of current technologies, including use of 3D and animations in practical classes to inspire students’ learning. The latest venture is the provision of an open education resource for the study of anatomy and physiology to allow all students access to the fundamental information needed in the understanding of the human body. population-based analysis Brandon, Lindsay, Youl, Pip, Baade, Peter, Whiteside, Eliza and Kimlin, Michael. 2015. "Location of residence and breast cancer stage: a SEER I feel that the organization of the textbook is logical. It is clear, but I think I would divide some of the chapters up like Male and Female Reproduction because those sections are very large.

Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology – UniSQ Open Textbooks

A strength of this book is the clarity and the style in which it is written. The language is not likely to intimidate first year anatomy and physiology students. Like anatomists, physiologists typically specialise in a particular branch of physiology, for example, neurophysiology is the study of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves and how they work together to perform functions as complex and diverse as vision, movement, and thinking. Physiologists may work from the organ level (exploring, for example, what different parts of the brain do) to the molecular level (such as exploring how an electrochemical signal travels along nerves). Dr Louisa Windus is a lecturer and researcher in the school of Health and Wellbeing (Biomedical Sciences) at the University of Southern Queensland, Australia. Louisa has a passion for developing methods that foster engagement and empower students to learn. Outside of the classroom, Louisa’s research focusses on biomarkers or molecular factors that mediate cancer progression and growth. She has collaborated extensively with research institutes across Australia and has been influential in developing novel 3D in vitro models that have helped expediate the drug discovery pipeline. Use appropriate anatomical terminology to identify key body structures, body regions, and directions in the bodyThis latest edition has been thoroughly updated by a team of international contributors to reflect the current Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Standards for Education, with enhanced online learning resources including an image bank, a searchable online glossary, flashcards, interactive multiple-choice questions, and more. Offering a user-friendly introduction to anatomy and physiology, this textbook: The chapters that I reviewed (muscle system, musculoskeletal system, and blood) were very accurate and included accurate photos or illustrations.
