Helpful general introduction to anatomy

Not enough editing for quality, and not the most engaging tone at times,, but a decent raw lecture.
Professor was noticeably less interested in reading and discussing topics further from their field of neurology.
Reader speaks on importance of terminology and vocabulary, but contradicts accompanying text.
The included PDF is relatively invaluable, especially due to these things.

Fascinating from head to toe.

A superb read covering the basics of our body in an easy to follow format. Worth listening to twice to fully grasp some of the concepts. Professor Young is an engaging speaker.
