I started A&P 1 this past Monday. I have lecture Monday and Wednesday and lab on Friday. My teacher already started chapter 2 and she didn’t go over majority of chapter 1 besides a few things. I emailed her and asked if we still needed to know everything from chapter 1 that she didn’t go over. She said everything for the lecture 1 exam which is chapters 1-3 is on D2L. So am I supposed to teach myself everything she didn’t go over? I’m so scared to fail this class.

For the past 10 months, we’ve been working on a project that adds nearly 700 interactive learning activities to the OpenStax Anatomy & Physiology textbook — and it’s finally ready.

As many of you know, OpenStax textbooks are well written, comprehensive, and free to use. Our goal was to build on that foundation and make the learning experience much more interactive.

Instead of simply reading a figure or diagram, you can interact with it. We’ve replaced or enhanced nearly all of the figures throughout the book with activities designed to explain concepts visually and step by step. You can explore structures, identify anatomical features, work through physiological processes, and actively engage with the material rather than just reading about it.

Since learning anatomy requires knowing a lot of terminology, we paid special attention to helping students actually learn and remember anatomical terms. We added flashcards for key terms throughout the book, as well as a large number of labeling activities for bones, muscles, organs, and other anatomical structures.

The labeling activities are designed for repeated practice, and include audio pronunciation, so you can learn not only how to recognize a structure and spell its name, but also how to pronounce it correctly.

There is also a built-in AI study assistant.

Besides the general things you would expect from an AI assistant, it is aware of the textbook itself and knows where you are in the book. That means you can ask questions about what you’re currently studying, get explanations in context, or have it create study materials for you.

For example, you can ask it to:

• Create flashcards from the current section
• Generate a 10 question quiz
• Explain a "difficult concept" in a different way
• Find related sections elsewhere in the textbook

The idea is to turn the OpenStax textbook from something you mostly read into something you can read, explore, practice, listen to, and test yourself with.

If you use OpenStax Anatomy & Physiology for a class, teach from it, or are studying A&P on your own, I’d love for you to try it and tell us what you think.

You can start a free trial here: Anatomy & Physiology Textbook

As a small Reddit launch offer, I’ll also give 6 months of free access to the first 5 people who start a free trial and send me a DM. I’ll reply with the details on how to activate the 6-month access.

I’d also genuinely appreciate feedback from students and instructors — especially which activities you find most useful and what you think we should improve next.

How did ya’ll pass A&P 168 & 169 online.
I’m taking an online course rn. We use Pearson for our e-textbook.
Tell me your tips and tricks. I wanna pass but I’m a visual learner. I wish it was in person but it doesn’t go with my work schedule. I’m grateful for the PowerPoint but man I wish it was in person so I can also hear the professor.

Hello, im sorry if this isn’t my subreddit to post this in, but i thought this might be useful.

I may have a perforated eardrum, and was swimming in a lake possible to have brain eating amoeba and water alot of got inside my ear on August 14th.

My nose is not as issue, as i took extra care and wore nose clips and everything.

I am flying very soon and having severe panic that the cabin pressure will push brain-eating amoeba liquid from my ear deep enough to reach nerves. For instance, when your ear pops or other pressure changes.

I don’t know whether that’s possible or whether it will drain into my nose (which ive read is possible) , where i can then get an infection via the normal route of an N.Fowleri infection as it touches the back of my nose where infection can occur.

I’m particularly worried it will drain into a region of the nose and i will then sniff, or somehow suck it up to the required region for infection. Or somehow, **the cabin pressure changes during the flight will cause the amoeba drained into my lower nose from ear, to suck up to the olfactory area required for infection.**

After finding out the lake has a very high chance of the amoeba, and discovering how fatal it is i am incredibly stressed.

Is this just my health anxiety? i cant cancel the flight and really need to get on it.

I will be flying 5 days after the water got into my ear, if that changes anything.

I don’t know anything about nose anatomy to answer this myself.

Does anyone have the Modified Mastering A&P Access textbook with the eText and eLab manual?Thank you in advance!

I know there’s a book but I forgot what it’s called but It has the test questions what’s it called?

as much as i love learning about the human body, i am so scared for anatomy and physiology. i know there’s some physics and chemistry involved, but i had so much trouble in high school with it.

can anyone offer some topics i should review before the semester starts?? not just for physics and chem, but a&p itself.

also how you would study for this class? for example, what you do in lecture, after lecture, with the notes, etc. is there also anything i could use to help me throughout the course?

i really what to do good and i will work for it, i just need a good start on how to approach this as someone who sucks at memory and stem. like im just super anxious i wont do well especially with the rumors on how the professor teaches.

thank you!
