Learning outcomes are listed at the start of each chapter. Over the years YouTube videos may be taken down. An important consideration is that links to external sources and videos should still be active in the future. However, the gold standard exams and laboratory values are already included in the book. Perhaps the figures of diagnostic tests will be changed for new medical technology that becomes available. This textbook is up to date as anatomy and physiology do not come across major changes year-to-year. I find the content to be accurate and unbiased. However, since anatomy and physiology is a visual heavy course, there should be more additions. The images, figures and tables are easy to understand and logically placed. Although the topics are simple to understand, there are some which require more elaboration as some students may be missing a general biology background. These would be freshmen and sophomores taking this as their first science course. Topics are appropriate for a 2000 level course. However, the "Search this book" search box makes it convenient to look up a term. It is easier to search for terms in a glossary at the end of the textbook. There isn't a glossary but a key terms section at the end of each chapter. For example, mitosis is included but not meiosis. The index is adequate, however it is missing some terms/concepts. The sequence of units and chapters flow in a logical manner. This text covers all the required topics for a two-semester anatomy and physiology course.
