I don't strictly require any textbooks for my courses, but I strongly recommend that you purchase (or borrow) at least one. There are several textbooks devoted to Human Anatomy and Physiology (BIO201 or BIO202), just as there are several that are devoted to general biology (BIO181 or BIO182). Any of them will provide you with the necessary information. The main difference is that they will vary in the way the material is presented to you. There is no single book that is best for every student. If you want to have a textbook that features the same figures that I will present in my lectures, then I suggest that you use the textbook that appears in my syllabus. But there's no great need to buy the latest (and therefore most expensive) edition. Below you will find links to new and used copies of the textbooks I use for my courses, as well as several other books that might help you. They are only suggestions. Also, if you prefer to wait until after my first lecture to purchase books, that will be no problem.
