PRAISE FOR THIS BOOK
“Many Anatomy and Physiology (A&P) textbooks have been written, most of them are
limited by the absence of a signifi cant bank of self test material. This book fi lls that space
by providing the student engaged in active learning opportunities to assess their learning
in all the core areas of A&P. The explanatory feedback material following answers to the
test questions is excellent. Now the student has a resource that actually guides them
towards success. It will complement any course that includes introductory A&P. This
book will be a very useful partner to any student new to the subject that is motivated to
learn and do well.”
Jim Jolly, Head of Academic Unit for Long Term Conditions,
School of Healthcare, University of Leeds, UK
“This book will be of great benefi t to student nurses revising for exams as well as regis-
tered nurses wishing to refresh their memory. The authors have a good awareness of the
areas where students struggle, and have focused special attention on those.”
Dorothy Adam, Lecturer, The Robert Gordon University, UK
“This book is the perfect companion to help nurses explore their own understanding of
this key subject. Students and newly qualifi ed nurses alike will fi nd the different kinds of
tests a valuable revision aid.”
James Pearson-Jenkins, Senior Lecturer of Adult Acute Nursing,
University of Wolverhampton, UK
“This text is ideal for revision purposes or as a refresher for the basic workings of the
human body. The book will he lp to build the foundations for learning the pathophysiology
behind the body systems.”
Amy Hutchinson, Student Nurse, University of Ulster, UK
