Product Information

Broken down into typical systems-based chapters, a style used in many textbooks. This makes it easy for students to follow. 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 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. Chruscik, Anna (Author), Kauter, Kate (Author), Windus, Louisa (Author), Whiteside, Eliza and Dooley, Leanne (Other) 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.

Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology: For Nursing and

Dr Kate Kauteris an Associate Professor in biomedical science at the University of Southern Queensland. She has taught anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology and microbiology to students from many disciplines including nursing, biomedical sciences, food sciences and agricultural sciences, among others. Kate has developed a number of digital activities to increase student interaction with these content areas and has deployed the use of current technologies, including use of 3D and animations in practical classes to inspire students’ learning. The latest venture is the provision of an open education resource for the study of anatomy and physiology to allow all students access to the fundamental information needed in the understanding of the human body. 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.

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).

Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology – UniSQ Open Textbooks

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.

Conditions of Use

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. The format was consistent with important terms being in bold print and fundamental process figures included with all important physiology. 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. Jun 15, 2023 OpenStax.

This latest edition has been thoroughly updated by a team of international contributors to reflect the current Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Standards for Education, with enhanced online learning resources including an image bank, a searchable online glossary, flashcards, interactive multiple-choice questions, and more. Offering a user-friendly introduction to anatomy and physiology, this textbook: 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). Comprehensive, illustrated, and perhaps most importantly: applicable in practice. The latest edition of this best-selling textbook proves difficult to put down. 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 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.

The chapters that I reviewed (muscle system, musculoskeletal system, and blood) were very accurate and included accurate photos or illustrations. The content is up-to-date using the modern descriptive terms rather than older terms that included people's names.

Johnson, Mark Womble, Peter DeSaixA strength of this book is the clarity and the style in which it is written. The language is not likely to intimidate first year anatomy and physiology students. All typical organ systems are covered. I especially liked that there was a chapter devoted to pregnancy and human development. 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. In the context of anatomy and physiology, the term “sex” is conventionally preferred over the use of “gender”, however throughout the book the authors refer to gender-differences.
