I created these Week 1–6 Human Anatomy notes as a Pharmacology student who achieved a strong high 2:1 in first year. They break down core topics—introduction to anatomy, musculoskeletal system, cranial nerves, skull, circulatory/lymphatic system, and the nervous system—into clear, high-yield summaries designed for fast revision and confident exam preparation.
