Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology - Australian Edition Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology - Australian Edition

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. This work, Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology, is a derivative of Anatomy and Physiology by J. Gordon Betts, Kelly A. Young, James A. Wise, Eddie Johnson, Brandon Poe, Dean H. Kruse, Oksana Korol, Jody E. Johnson, Mark Womble and Peter DeSaix. The original text is used under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License, and can be found here : https://openstax.org/details/books/anatomy-and-physiology The textbook is straight forward and to the point. It is a fairly easy read, and the images assist with clarifying the content. I did have a problem with the clarity of some images used. Some of the pictures are blurry, but this should be an easy fix. 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).Describe the structure of the body, from simplest to most complex, in terms of the six levels of organization 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. 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. Only selected chapters/sections were examined for the purposes of this review. Several issues were identified in the Cardiac Physiology section (6.4). For example, the authors write that during exercise, “as [heart rate] HR continues to increase, [stroke volume] SV gradually decreases due to decreased filling time.” This is incorrect. During incremental exercise, in relatively untrained adults stroke volume initially increases and then plateaus while heart rate continues to increase, but in endurance trained athletes, while the magnitude of increase in stroke volume is greatest in the early stages, stroke volume continues to increase throughout exercise (ref: Exp Physiol 2002 Sep;87(5):613-22 // J Appl Physiol 2008 Jan;104(1):276-8). Further, to estimate maximal heart rate, the authors refer to the 220-age equation. This equation is generally considered inferior to the Tanaka equation (208-(0.7 x age)) (ref: J Am Coll Cardiol 2001 Jan;37(1):153-6). The chapters that I reviewed (muscle system, musculoskeletal system, and blood) were very accurate and included accurate photos or illustrations.

Use appropriate anatomical terminology to identify key body structures, body regions, and directions in the 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. 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. 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.

The book contains most of the chapters one might expect to find in a good Anatomy and Physiology text. Conspicuous by its absence, the book does not contain a detailed chapter devoted to metabolism. Reviewed by Otelia Vines, Professor of Anatomy and Physiology, J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College on 4/5/22 I did not run into any significant interface issues, but some of the images are slightly distorted. A glossary is included and appears to be thorough, and a solid reflection of the content of the book. 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.Broken down into typical systems-based chapters, a style used in many textbooks. This makes it easy for students to follow. are not subject to the Creative Commons license and may not be reproduced without the prior and express written 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. The material in this textbook is largely based on OpenStax’s Anatomy & Physiology textbook, however, has been modified for Australian course curriculum.
