You are a first year medical student at the Lakeview College of Medicine in Neenah, Wisconsin. Your first test is coming up next week and you are not sure if you have studied the Body Systems chapters enough!
You know that our bodies are wonderfully complex. From your digestive system breaking down the bacon, egg, and cheese bagel you had for breakfast to the muscular and skeletal systems enabling you to dance to your favorite song, our body systems work together to make us who we are.
So what can you do to make sure that you are prepared for next week's big exam?
