Human Anatomy and Physiology Preparatory Course

Reviewed by Kelly Carlson, Professor, Minnesota State Community and Technical College on 6/19/18

Comprehensiveness rating: 5

This text provides an introduction to different body systems and will help familiarize students with basic concepts of anatomy and physiology. This book is also a good option for programs that only require an introduction to anatomy and physiology.

Content Accuracy rating: 5

This book was accurate and free from errors.

Relevance/Longevity rating: 5

This book was published in 2015 and is up-to-date, this book provides basic knowledge of the body chemistry, and cell biology.

Clarity rating: 5

The text was clear and concise. The modules and learning objectives are easy to follow.

Consistency rating: 4

The terminology is consistent through the book.

Modularity rating: 4

This text is divided by modules and learning objectives. This book is for basic anatomy and physiology and does not go into detail of all the organs and body systems.

Organization/Structure/Flow rating: 4

The book is broken down by modules and learning objectives which are easy to follow. I found the flow to be logical, keep in mind this book is a very basic A & P book.

Interface rating: 4

Accessing this book was very easy to navigate. I was unable to use the link provided to review the quizzes. The images and charts were clear and detailed.

Grammatical Errors rating: 3

I found a few grammatical errors.

Cultural Relevance rating: 5

This book is culturally neutral since it focuses on the body and includes images of all human body systems.

I reviewed this book because our program teaches an Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology. Our students do not need to get in-depth cellular biology as most textbooks cover. This is text would be a good supplement to the current information we provide our students.
