Human Anatomy and Physiology is an adaptation of Anatomy and Physiology 2e by OpenStax, a nonprofit open educational resource (OER) publishing initiative of Rice University. This Athabasca University version of the OER textbook has been shortened and simplified to fit the scope of the courses offered to our students. Several errors have been corrected, many details have been removed, and the resource has been modified to be more suitable for distance learning students. Improvements have been made to the accessibility of the resource, including updated alt-text and the conversion of text-heavy figures into plain text legible to screen readers. I acknowledge the AU Press OER Publishing Support Program and our team of Academic Experts for assistance with the textbook review, project coordination, and the contribution of in-kind funding to adapt and publish this OER under the Remix imprint.
