used in the classroom to teach - overall a solid textbook with good examples. Felt like the nervous system chapters were written a league above the other chapters regarding the level of detail covered. Those same chapters were all repetitive and the info seemed a bit spread out. The info is there though, so overall, a good text.

I promise it’s my last textbook for the summer! This one was dennnnse.

so much circular language around concepts. I just wanted to learn about body systems more directly. Whew, prerequisites done.

The content is fine, but the formatting is terrible.

It was for school!!! And boring, the only person who made the class interesting was the professor and that was when we still had zoom and flipping actual labs … kahoots was my favorite it made learning less tedious.

For anatomy and physiology I and II, it took 2 semesters. Pearson is repetitive, which is helpful for memorization. Most explanations were thorough with great pictures. The slides from class were a life saver :)

My daughter purchased this as a required text book for a class she was taking. I was impressed by the book and the interactive aspect. My daughter appreciated the text as other texts she had seen in the past confused her more than taught her.

The Hip bone connects to the knee bone. The Knee bone connects to the leg bone. Overall a fairly bombastic and complicated plot...

The textbook for 3 quarters of Anatomy and Physiology. Comprehensive, general knowledge. Worthy if interested (this version is not the current version)

i'm reading the eighth edition though...

lol. Ok so I'm being funny. But in all honesty this book is like the definitive go-to guide for most med students!

Read the first half for A&P I, a rather punishing elective.

This was actually a really well written textbook, and although it was a TON of work, I learned so much about the human body this year, that I will hopefully use for the rest of my life!

To be perfectly honest, I haven't actually opened the book this semester. But I did read it the first time around.
