Designed for independent learning, this book teaches the key concepts of physiology in an easy-to-understand way by inviting readers to colour in more than 150 pages of outline drawings.
A continuation of Sam's STEP1 prep / end of preclinical school reading log (because for all the hours I clocked in, you best believe it counts towards the Goodreads reading goal).

I didn't read this one straight through, but used it sporadically over the last two years of preclinical medical school to supplement my learning (also, sometimes coloring breaks up the monotony of studying). Will likely to continue to use this over the next two years, but as I am unlikely to finish every page, I'm adding it to my Goodreads now.
If your a visual learner it's great. I would make photo copies of each section I wad working, then the book cam be reused as a refresher when needed as many times as you wanted to cover a topic.
While I really enjoyed The Anatomy Coloring Book and wanted to enjoy The Physiology Coloring Book as well, the latter wasn't as useful to me in my two semester Anatomy and Physiology class
This was especially true in the second semester, which emphasized functions (physiology) over structure (anatomy). It probably would have been more efficacious for me to draw those bodily processes as a flow chart on my own. Nonetheless, I'm glad the books in this series exist and I look forward to seeing how much The Microbiology Coloring Book is useful to me in the spring semester.
This isn't actually a joke. I'm sure I'll use this again during med school physiology, but it was definitely a great supplement to my undergrad physiology course. I didn't color anything (maybe over Christmas break!), but the book helped me in understanding the mechanisms of certain more difficult to visualize concepts and functions.
I got this in college, for an anatomy class. One one side of the page, you color diagrams of biological processes, both at the organ and cellular levels. The other side of the page has detailed information, like a normal text book. I still pull it off the shelf and read it sometimes.
