Helpful general introduction to anatomy

Not enough editing for quality, and not the most engaging tone at times,, but a decent raw lecture.
Professor was noticeably less interested in reading and discussing topics further from their field of neurology.
Reader speaks on importance of terminology and vocabulary, but contradicts accompanying text.
The included PDF is relatively invaluable, especially due to these things.

Fascinating from head to toe.

A superb read covering the basics of our body in an easy to follow format. Worth listening to twice to fully grasp some of the concepts. Professor Young is an engaging speaker.

A good primer of human anatomy and some physiology with concommitant implications for medicine. Very accessible to the layperson.

Easy to digest.

This book is broken down into sections that make sense and are easy to comprehend and follow. I kept reviewing the chapters for a full month solid, til the ideas and information sunk in to my psyche, for a better understanding. I wish you all the best.

Fantastic and informative

This book ended too soon. I loved learning the basic about how the body works. It was well organized by body part and made sense to a history major such as myself. There is a 73 page coursebook that comes as a PDF.

The author is funny in a dorky way and he had funny little jokes that he he enjoyed immensely.)

I would buy Part 2, 3, 4, etc or anything by this author.
