About this listen

 The structures that lie beneath our skin represent a remarkable and beautiful assortment of biological mechanisms that are essential for our lives. However, we often take these structures for granted.

In these fourteen fascinating lectures from Howard University's Professor John K. Young, a basic overview of the human body, its physical features, biological systems, and general functioning will be presented for the benefit of anyone from budding medical students to curious laymen.

In Young's lectures, he shares the knowledge he has gained during his 30-year tenure as a teacher as he leads his audience on an unforgettable journey through the wonders of the human body.

Would you listen to Basic Human Anatomy again? Why?

I got this book to aid my study of Human Biology, Anatomy and Physiology at level 3 standard. The book was perfect for this purpose and spot on with subject choice. I would listen to the book in bed and when driving the car, the revision was very beneficial and the ease of understanding is good.

What about the narrator’s performance did you like?

The lecturer is obviously very knowledgeable on his subject and speaks with an easy flow and pace.

Invaluable

It was really well put together to help inform those who want to brush up on the basics

What does the narrator bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

I liked that he was the author,

This is not dry lecture stuff. Prof Young explains anatomy and does so at a scholar level for those relatively new to anatomy, but what makes it both fun to listen to and easy to remember is his intertwining of development and alternative anecdotes (e.g. did you know snakes 'pop out' their larynx so they can breath whilst slowly swallowing their prey?).
Thank you dr Young.

This lecture series has been awesome to listen too, I think I probably learnt more Human anatomy in 5 mins of listening to this, than I did in any of my Science classes back at school. The lecture is very easy to listen too, unlike many narrators who have irritating voices, I found this to be fairly soothing.

Captured by every word.

I was able to follow most of the book without prior medical knowledge (rather than common sense)

Great book for common citizens

I went into this course very skeptical: don't I need to see pictures and diagrams etc? And how interesting can a list of organs, bones and muscles be?? Well I was very wrong to be worried on both fronts. As the lecturer states early on, you don't need pictures because you have a body attached to your head! As for interest, this course is far more than a list of bones and organs.

The lectures cover every large aspect of the human body, from bones to the reproductive system. Whilst he does discuss individual bones and their latin names, this is only so that he can discuss how the form of them gives rise to function which ends up being way more interesting than I would have guessed. He also gives comparisons with the anatomy of other species, and pulls in information from embryology and biochemistry, which adds a whole other dimension and really leaves you feeling like you understand things a lot better.

I enjoyed every bit of this course and will probably go back and listen to a few of the lectures again because they are so interesting. Wholeheartedly recommended!

Absolutely fascinating overview of your body

the lectures are good, but I get bored and disconnected at so many points, if you are looking for a good summary or introduction to anatomy it's a good choice

good and summarising
