Human Anatomy by Van De Graaff is designed for schools which offer split courses in anatomy and physiology. The one-semester anatomy course is usually offered at a freshman/sophomore level and is taught primarily in biology, physical education, or allied health departments. It is a prerequisite for programs in occupational therapy, physical therapy, massage therapy, sports medicine, athletic training, or chiropractic careers.

Human Anatomy uses a systemic approach as opposed to a regional or gross anatomy approach. The latter approach is favored by medical schools, or institutions that generally rely on the dissection of a human cadaver. Courses for nursing or allied health students, on the other hand, will usually use the systemic approach.
