Anatomy Demystified

by Dale Layman

Say goodbye to dry presentations, grueling formulas, and abstract theories that would put Einstein to sleep -- now there's an easier way to master the disciplines you really need to know. McGraw-Hill's Demystified Series teaches complex subjects in a unique, easy-to-absorb manner, and is perfect for users without formal training or unlimited time. They're also the most time-efficient, interestingly written "brush-ups" you can find. Organized as self-teaching guides, they come complete with key points, background information, questions at the end of each chapter, and even final exams. You'll be able to learn more in less time, evaluate your areas of strength and weakness and reinforce your knowledge and confidence. This clear, heavily-illustrated guide to the human body covers anatomy of cells and tissues, muscle tissue, major muscles of the body, nervous tissue, membranes, organs, cancer, the skin, the human skeleton, the nervous system, glands, the senses, the cardiovascular system, the immune system, the respiratory system, digestion, genitourinary system, the embryo, and more.

As a nursing student the kind of academics both my self and my fellow classmates take on seems like a planet compared to other majors in college it seems. One of the so called horrors we face is that skyscraper like task of memorizing all the key components of the human body from a molecular level to a more macroscopic level.I have learned since starting this journey into the world of medicine , that text books alone do not always do the trick. You as a student need to find something more that speaks to you and speaks in a linguistic manner that you can comprehend and retain. This book along with its companion offers that and more. The book is easy to understand and lays out key concepts in a way that is easy to retain without cutting short on key concepts essential to both the medical and non medical major. As of right now thanks to using this book and several others I have indicated, I have attained an A in my anatomy class. So I think my grades speak for them selves. This book is worth every penny and then some.

A little too simple - feels like its written for gradeschoolers. But, I've learned a couple small things.

One of the very few anatomy books I have ever read. 3 stars.
