The authors of this book have chosen to present human anatomy in the traditional "systems" means (nervous, respiratory, etc.) instead of interacting parts (upper chest, legs, etc.). Complex systems (such as the nervous system) is divided into chapters and specific organs (heart, blood vessels) also have their own chapter. Overall, the book well organized and carried out studies easily.
The book begins with an introduction to the body's orientation, these conditions are doctors and nurses use to describe the location of disease and pain in relation to certain parts of the body. The second chapter is a brisk tour through the structure of the cells. The third chapter is a fascinating introduction to embryology, and the fourth chapter focuses on the tissue. Chapters 5-25 the systems anatomy section.
The text simplifies many concepts and biological mechanisms with color-coded charts, tables and figures. Interestingly, diseases and conditions are located throughout each chapter, making some of the dry text more interesting because they tend to collect various bits of knowledge from a particular chapter.
I found the chapter on the lymphatic system and immune system to be a little thin, but since a large part of the anatomy of these systems are treated in other chapters, it is perhaps understandable. Furthermore, I'm not sure why there would be a chapter on exocrine system (s).
The book comes with a brief atlas of the human body, which gives a nice summary of the tissues and gives examples of all the cadaver bones, muscles and organs.
