Congratulations You have taken a major positive step toward excelling in your college-level (or advanced high school level) Human Anatomy course. Welcome to the First Edition of The Essential Human Anatomy Compendium, which is a study guide in the format of lecture outline notes compiled from different instructors. How is our study guide different from others already in publication? The format of this book is the outline form, which lends itself to easy perusing. KEY WORDS or PHRASES are EMPHASIZED VISUALLY and as CONCISELY as possible, 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 COPIOUS INFORMATION, which is not represented in other study guides in existence. The approach of this study guide 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. Additionally, The Essential Human Anatomy Compendium includes sample multiple-choice questions, which will prepare you for the key levels of anatomy exam questions. These questions have been developed by various instructors from several disciplines. For Instructors: Answer sheets to the questions are also provided after each set of questions so that students may complete them and submit them for instructor review (and perhaps for credit). How to use The Essential Human Anatomy Compendium: Due to the nature of this book, it should be utilized as a key study tool prior to 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. Whether your academic training specialty is in Nursing, Dentistry, Dental Hygiene, Occupational or Physical Therapy, Athletic Training, or Pharmacy et.al, you will undoubtedly find The Essential Human Anatomy Compendium a useful tool, which will help you to excel in the subject of anatomy. Good luck on your journey of discovery H.P. Doyle
