Textbook in PDF format
Welcome to the fascinating study of the human body! Though you and I might never meet in person, I consider you and every other student who uses this textbook to be “my” student. Just as I want to ensure the success of the students in my classroom, I am similarly invested in your success. For this reason, this book was designed with you in mind—every feature, study tool, and media presentation is intended to help you achieve your goals.
This book was written not only for you, but also about you. The great thing about human A&P is that no matter what your goals are, it is relevant to your life. Human A&P is you it’s also me, your family, your friends, and indeed every human who ever lived or will live. There’s nothing in the study of A&P that is irrelevant or esoteric, because every single detail revolves around you and your life. How many other courses can make that claim?
So dive right in and begin to explore the science of you. I sincerely hope that you enjoy your study of human A&P and find it as fascinating and wondrous as I do.
