This book contains practice questions with rationales broadly and explicitly covering Anatomy and Physiology. The practice questions are provided in several volumes to prevent overwhelming the reader with so much information pertaining to this complex field of medicine. The questions are subdivided according to the various systems of the body. Readers have the opportunity to start with a specific volume that would cover their area of ease or difficulty.
