The point of this Blog

The point of this Blog is to pass on the things I have learned to help others get through their A&P courses. I know this stuff is not easy to remember and I have picked up a few tricks along the way. I also want to keep it all fresh and not forget the things I have learned. A&P is an interesting study and I have enjoyed learning more about how our bodies work. I wish all of you luck on your journey through this fascinating world!
