A textbook revision is often described as an “update.” That word seems much too weak for what sometimes happens behind the scenes. Four textbook authors share the story behind the 12th edition of Anatomy & Physiology released on September 15, 2026. blog.taaonline.net/2026/09/w…

Explain to me how this TikTok’r gets it and “public health experts” don’t. MDs don’t.
Share widely on multiple platforms.
Shout out to @michael_hoerger for breaking through to the younger generation.

Great Q from one of my IMED1001 students this w'end:
Q. Why is the skin on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet lighter in colour?
A. Dermal fibroblasts in these areas produce higher levels of Dickkopf 1 which down-regulates melanocyte proliferation & melanin synthesis.

After an exam result is released I'm flooded with questions about how to effectively study for Human A&P. I always direct them to the Concept Lists youtu.be/xzEp_n5vHro by @DrKevinPatton, and the YouTube pages of @drmattanddrmike and @wendyriggs47. All powerful communicators!
