Our featured textbook is the ultimate study guide compiled and edited by the HPD Group, entitled Condensed Notes for Human Anatomy: The Comprehensive and Concise Study Guide for Success in Introductory Anatomy Courses. This is an illustrated and revised version of H.P. Doyle's previous endeavours, The Essential Compendium of Human Anatomy (1st and 2nd editions).
As stated in the book's preface, "it is still a study guide in the
format of lecture outline notes compiled from various resources of
university instructors nationwide." *Please contact your university/college campus bookstore for textbook acquisitions.
Following is the main content of the book's preface: How is our study guide different from others already in publication? The format of this book is the outline form with a limited number of accompanying illustrations. It definitely lends itself to a more efficient way to study. KEY WORDS or PHRASES are EMPHASIZED VISUALLY and as CONCISELY as possible. This format is preferable in order to break up the monotony, which is often seen in long-winded textbooks. Though the goal is brevity, these outline notes still provide enough COPIOUS INFORMATION. The approach is to allow the student to comprehend the gist of basic anatomical concepts.
This study guide is organized into five key sections: (1) Introductory and Microscopic Anatomy, including cytology (cell study) and histology (tissue study); (2) Skeletal Anatomy, including axial and appendicular skeletal anatomy and accessory structures; (3) Muscular Anatomy, focusing on the origin, insertion, and action of key muscles required for most students to learn; (4) Neuroanatomy, including the Central Nervous System (brain and spinal cord), Peripheral Nervous System (including critical Autonomic Nervous System features), and general and special Sensory Anatomy; and (5) Systemic Anatomy, targeting the eleven human body organ systems and their components.
This illustrated study guide includes multiple-choice and labeling questions for practice reviews, which will prepare you for the key levels of anatomy exam questions. Various instructors from several disciplines have developed these foolproof questions.
How to use our Condensed Notes for Human Anatomy:
Due to the nature of this book, it should be utilized as a key study tool to prepare for course exams, prior to, after and/or during class lectures, or it may be used as a remedial preparation tool for Board exams in various disciplines. We have added some figures to this study guide in response to frequent requests. Yet, we still regard this study guide as a primary reference that is best used in conjunction with the student’s assigned textbook.
Whether your academic training specialty is in Nursing, Dentistry, Dental Hygiene, Occupational or Physical Therapy, Athletic Training, Exercise Science, Pharmacy, or other Allied Health disciplines, you will undoubtedly find our Condensed Notes for Human Anatomy a useful tool. It will help you excel in the subject of anatomy.
Good luck on your journey of discovery!
