Studying medicine or any health-related degree can be stressful; believe us, we know from experience! The
human body is an incredibly complex organism, and finding a way to streamline your learning is crucial to succeeding
in your exams and future profession. Our goal from the outset has been to create the greatest educational resource
for the next generation of medical students, and to make them as affordable as possible.
In this fourth and final edition of our notes we have made a number of text corrections, formatting updates,
and figure updates which we feel will enhance your study experience. We have also endeavoured to use only open-
source images and/or provide attribution where possible. As this is the final edition of our PDF notes series, we
