I was issued this book as one of many during my paramedic program. It was intended for the anatomy and physiology module of the course, and I could not see a better way to get a quicker grasp and overview of the human body and its systems. This book does a great job of putting every simple and to the point. I have used other books for A & P courses that I've taken in college, which were much thicker and contained more information, but they were much more expensive and more in depth. I enthusiastically recommend this book for anyone needing a fast thorough introduction to the human body. Great Book!

The Illustrations were the best part of this text book. Since it was a required text for a coaching license the illustrations made understanding the material much easier.Structure & Function of the Body - Soft Cover Version (STRUCTURE & FUNCTION OF THE BODY)
