All typical organ systems are covered. I especially liked that there was a chapter devoted to pregnancy and human development. Reviewed by Otelia Vines, Professor of Anatomy and Physiology, J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College on 4/5/22 Use appropriate anatomical terminology to identify key body structures, body regions, and directions in the body The text does not appear to culturally insensitive or offensive. Many of the photographs used to support the learning objectives include people of a variety of races.

I liked the interactive glossary. Each section from each chapter had a separate glossary. All subject areas are covered appropriately, and effectively, but I believe that the Joints (Articulations) need a separate chapter.

Conditions of Use

Offering a user-friendly introduction to anatomy and physiology, this textbook: 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.

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

Describe the structure of the body, from simplest to most complex, in terms of the six levels of organization 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.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. Broken down into typical systems-based chapters, a style used in many textbooks. This makes it easy for students to follow. 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. Whereas anatomy is about structure, physiology is about function. Human physiology is the scientific study of the chemistry and physics of the structures of the body and the ways in which they work together to support the functions of life. Much of the study of physiology centres on the body’s tendency toward homeostasis. Homeostasis is the state of steady internal conditions maintained by living things. The study of physiology certainly includes observation, both with the naked eye and with microscopes, as well as manipulations and measurements. However, current advances in physiology usually depend on carefully designed laboratory experiments that reveal the functions of the many structures and chemical compounds that make up the human body.

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. 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. The format was consistent with important terms being in bold print and fundamental process figures included with all important 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.The content is up-to-date using the modern descriptive terms rather than older terms that included people's names. The material in this textbook is largely based on OpenStax’s Anatomy & Physiology textbook, however, has been modified for Australian course curriculum. About the Contributors Authors
