anatomy helps
Thought the dvd would work in my computer but it didn't but the price was fantastic...

Interactions is pretty helpful for basics.
Interactions: Exploring the Functions of the Human Body , Foundations

This was a great visual and interactive aid to learning some basics of A&P. I believe there is a newer version. I'm not familiar with the new one, but I'm sure if it is on a par with this edition it will be very helpful to a kinetic, visual learner studying the subject of basic A&P.

Good Luck ... Read more

This is interesting and asks a lot of questions, however, there are no answers given in the back of the book. You're on your own.

This is a great book!
The stories are fun to read and the questions are really clear. I am going to use this book to review and study for my advanced physiology class, but it seems like it would be a great review for MCAT's. ... Read more

A concise but very informative book
This book has a lot in it to be so concise. For anyone wanting to learn about the human body and its different systems this is a great book. I found only one typo (page 90)where it says the large intestine is about 5 inches long, but in parentheses it has the correct length in meters (1.5). This book is great, and anyone who wants to learn about the human body would benefit from it.

Excellent reference tool
This is one of the best A&P reference books I've seen that doesn't cost a fortune and doesn't weigh 100 pounds.
If you're in any type of medical program, I highly recommend this book as a quick reference tool.Guide to the Human Body is divided into twelve major body systems, with many beautifully clear and well-chosen illustrations. What follows is a seventy-page medical encyclopedia, almost a glossary, with short entries for a wide range of topics such as abortion, blood poisoning, and even prions, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE/mad cow disease), and its human counterpart, Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease (CJD). In addition, the book has several well-illustrated pages describing the way that cells work and the overall organization of the body.
This is one book that I think any A&P student should have in their collection.
