Fundamentals of Children and Young People's Anatomy and Physiology
Peate, Gormley-Fleming · 3rd Edition
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Fundamentals of Children and Young People's Anatomy and Physiology (3rd Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and NCLEX-style practice questions for all 20 chapters.
Overview
Fundamentals of Children and Young People's Anatomy and Physiology (3rd Edition) covers 20 chapters in a flat sequence, moving from terminology and scientific principles through the cell, homeostasis, and genetics, and finally every major body system as it applies to children and young people. This study guide is written from scratch to follow that same structure, so you review in the same order Peate and Gormley-Fleming's contributing authors present the material and always know how a system's development differs across childhood. For every chapter you get a plain-English summary of the key concepts, learning objectives laid out up front, and exam-style practice questions with a full rationale for every answer, so it teaches you why each choice is right or wrong rather than just handing you a key. You'll start with terminology, scientific principles, the cell, homeostasis, genetics, and tissues, then move through the immune system, blood, and the cardiac and respiratory systems. From there you'll work through the endocrine, digestive, renal, and reproductive systems, the nervous, muscular, and skeletal systems, the senses and skin, and finish with a chapter on growing up healthy. Every chapter is matched to how the 3rd Edition organizes the material so your review stays aligned with your children's nursing course sequence. As you study you'll practice connecting developmental anatomy to age-specific physiological differences, the applied reasoning children's nursing A&P courses both test, and you'll build the habit of asking how a growing body's needs change from infancy through adolescence. Whether you're prepping for a course exam or a paediatric placement, this printable companion is built to be highlighted, annotated, and kept for the whole course, from your first lecture through your final exam. Original, independently written, and not affiliated with the publisher.
Aligned with children's and young people's nursing coursework — the practice questions mirror how these courses test developmental anatomy and age-specific physiological differences.
