The knee-bone’s connected to the…what was it again?

From complicated Latin names to what can seem like a million-and-one things to memorize, no one's saying anatomy and physiology is easy. But, with a little help from your friends at Dummies, it doesn't have to be impossible!

Anatomy & Physiology All-in-One For Dummies is your go-to guide for developing a deep understanding of the parts of the human body and how it works. You’ll learn the body's structures and discover how they function with expert help from the book's easy-to-use teaching features. You can even go online to access interactive chapter quizzes to help you absorb the material.

Whether your aim is to become a physical therapist or a pharmacist, a doctor or an acupuncturist, a nutritionist or a personal trainer, a registered nurse or a paramedic, a parent or simply a healthy human being, your efforts have to be based on a good understanding of anatomy and physiology. But knowing that the knee bone connects to the thigh bone (or does it?) is just the tip of the iceberg.

The human body is a miraculous biological machine capable of growing, interacting with the world, and even reproducing despite numerous environmental odds stacked against it. Understanding how the body’s interlaced systems accomplish these feats requires a close look at everything from chemistry to structural mechanics.

Early anatomists relied on dissections to study the human body, which is why the Greek word anatomia means “to cut up or dissect.” Anatomical references have been found in Egypt dating back to 1600 BC, but it was the Greeks — Hippocrates in particular — who first dissected bodies for medical study around 420 BC. That’s why more than two millennia later, we still use words based on Greek and Latin roots to identify anatomical structures.

That’s also part of the reason why studying anatomy and physiology feels like learning a foreign language. Truth be told, you are working with a foreign language, but it’s the language of you and the one body you’re ever going to have.

With this book, you'll:

Get a grip on key concepts and scientific terminology used to describe the human body
Discover fun physiology facts you can apply to everyday life both inside and outside the classroom
Learn how the body's different systems interact with one another

So, if you’re looking to ace that next test, improve your overall grade, reduce test anxiety, or just increase your confidence in the subject, grab a copy of Anatomy & Physiology All-in-One For Dummies. It's your one-stop, comprehensive resource for all things A&P!
