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. Reviewed by Otelia Vines, Professor of Anatomy and Physiology, J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College on 4/5/22 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. Like most scientific disciplines, anatomy has areas of specialisation. Gross anatomy is the study of the larger structures of the body, those visible without the aid of magnification (Figure 1.1.1a). Macro- means “large,” thus, gross anatomy is also referred to as macroscopic anatomy. In contrast, micro- means “small,” and microscopic anatomy is the study of structures that can be observed only with the use of a microscope or other magnification devices (Figure 1.1.1b). Microscopic anatomy includes cytology, the study of cells and histology, the study of tissues. As the technology of microscopes has advanced, anatomists have been able to observe smaller and smaller structures of the body, from slices of large structures like the heart, to the three-dimensional structures of large molecules in the body. Content was presented at a basic level suitable for an undergraduate course. It is unlikely that at this level, it will need to be revised too much in the foreseeable future.

I did not run into any significant interface issues, but some of the images are slightly distorted. I did not find any real grammatical issues. I did find some spelling issues (not really errors), but I am an American reviewing this Australian textbook. CENTER FOR OPEN EDUCATION | The Open Education Network is based in the Center for Open Education in the University of Minnesota’s College of Education and Human Development.

Conditions of Use

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. Broken down into typical systems-based chapters, a style used in many textbooks. This makes it easy for students to follow.

The content is up-to-date using the modern descriptive terms rather than older terms that included people's names.The University of Southern Queensland (USQ) is committed to advancing the use of open textbooks in higher education. 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.

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.Though you may approach a course in anatomy and physiology strictly as a requirement for your field of study, the knowledge you gain in this course will serve you well in many aspects of your life. An understanding of anatomy and physiology is not only fundamental to any career in the health professions, but it can also benefit your own health. Familiarity with the human body can help you make healthful choices and prompt you to take appropriate action when signs of illness arise. Your knowledge in this field will help you understand news about nutrition, medications, medical devices, and procedures and help you understand genetic or infectious diseases. At some point, everyone will have a problem with some aspect of their body and your knowledge can help you to be a better parent, spouse, partner, friend, colleague, or caregiver. The format was consistent with important terms being in bold print and fundamental process figures included with all important physiology. The interface was easy to navigate and all of the material I reviewed was legible. However, many of the illustrations and photos seemed to be in low resolution and were a bit blurry.

The authors of this textbook seemed to take special care in sectioning content information within each chapter. The sectioning of this information makes it easier to read. The smaller chunks of information makes it easier for the reader to digest. The modules were appropriate in size and the interactive nature of the review questions and the critical thinking questions is a welcome addition to any textbook.Anatomists take two general approaches to the study of the body’s structures: regional and systemic. Regional anatomy is the study of the interrelationships of all the structures in a specific body region, such as the abdomen. Studying regional anatomy helps us appreciate the interrelationships of body structures, such as how muscles, nerves, blood vessels, and other structures work together to serve a particular body region. In contrast, systemic anatomy is the study of the structures that make up a discrete body system—that is, a group of structures that work together to perform a unique body function, for example, a systemic anatomical study of the muscular system would consider all the skeletal muscles of the body. I read 3 chapters until now. The content of the book is really good but sometimes the book mention something important as if it is already explained but it was not.
