Principles of Human Anatomy by Gerard Tortora, 13th edition
What to know, or in other words, here is the answer to your question, “What is going to be on the exam?”.

You can skip all the “Aging and the…” topics.

Ch. 12: Know everything (blood).
Ch. 13: Know everything (heart). Remember to omit the ‘development of the …’ sections of all chapters.

The End.
