Welcome to Paramedics! Test Yourself in Anatomy and Physiology. We hope you will find this an invaluable tool throughout your studies, and beyond!

This book is designed to be used as a revision aid that you can use with your main textbook. Each chapter is designed for stand-alone revision, meaning that you need not read from the beginning to benefit from the book.

Every chapter begins with a brief introduction covering the main points of the topic and directing you to some useful resources. The chapter progresses, providing you with different types of questions that help you test your knowledge of the area. These are:

Labelling Exercise: identify the different elements on the diagram.

True or False: identify if the statement is true or false.

Multiple Choice: identify which of four answers is correct.

Fill in the Blanks: fill in the blanks to complete the statement.

Match the Terms: identify which term matches which statement.

The questions have been designed to be slightly more challenging in each section. Do not ignore a question type just because you are not examined in that way, because the answer will contain useful information that could easily be examined in an alternative question format.

Answers are also provided in each chapter with detailed explanations this is to help you with revision but can also be used as a learning aid.

We have suggested some useful textbooks that may be used to support your recommended text, but they should not replace the core reading for your course.

A list of directional terms and a list of common prefixes and suffixes used in anatomy and physiology are provided. At the back of the book you will find a glossary.

We hope that you enjoy using this book and that you find it a convenient and useful tool throughout your studies!
