Anatomy & Physiology

A major tip to reading this book do not start on page one of the chapters. Read the chapter review
and resource summary FIRST, then read the titles of each subsection and the objective. Then read
the checkpoint questions at the end of each section then read the chapter like normal. By doing this
in this order you build layers of exposure to the material and get guidance from the authors on what
they think is important, as well as getting ideas of what to read for while reading. These guides that I
am creating should help guide you as well by showing what I think is truly important for each
chapter or to draw your attention to something useful.
