E-Z Anatomy and Physiology

by I. Edward Alcamo, Barbara Krumhardt

The authors of "E-Z Anatomy and Physiology " present an extensive review of the human body's structural framework and describe how it functions. Each of 23 chapters covers a separate system of the body and includes review questions with answers. The book is filled with charts, diagrams, and instructive line illustrations. Books in Barron's new "E-Z " series are enhanced and updated editions of Barron's older, highly popular "Easy Way " books. New cover designs reflect the brand-new interior layouts, which feature extensive two-color treatment, a fresh, modern typeface, and more graphic material than ever. Charts, graphs, diagrams, line illustrations, and where appropriate, amusing cartoons help make learning E-Z in a variety of subjects. "Barron's E-Z " books are self-teaching manuals focused to improve students' grades in skill levels that range between senior high school and college-101 standards.

Every student from Romania wants to burn this book after they see "Acceptat" next to their name.

After reading this book front to back at least 5 times, I have a lot of questions for the people that like enemies to lovers romance novels. That's the best way I can explain my relationship with this book in book trope terms, and it might just be the most conflicting thing in my life. I absolutely despise this book for its inaccuracies and constant repetition of the same information, while skipping other more relevant aspects that should have been explained with much more detail. That being said, I kinda feel obligated to respect it (and even, dare I say it...love it??) for getting me into med school (cause I guess I am a masochist at heart).

Kinda ironic that this will probably end up being the longest book I read this year:'))

If you're here contemplating why you ever chose to go to med school because you have to read this nonsense, this is not the review/rant for you. I still have no explanation for what made me do it. But I will say this: finding out I was admitted was one of the best moments of my life, if not the best one. Take what you want from that.

Now for a biology tangent: partea mea preferata din toata cartea asta e probabil descrierea capsulei glomerulare a nefronului: "Aceasta se poate asemăna cu un balon care la un capăt este impins cu pumnul spre interior, astfel încât balonul sa înconjoare pumnul. Pumnul reprezintă glomerulul; balonul reprezinta capsula Bowman." WHY?! I just...I don't even know what to say about that. It's just so stupid, like I'm 5 and I'm asking an adult where babies come from and they tell me a stork brings them.

BIBLIA VIEȚII MELE!!!!!!

[Nadia Elena Țugurel · Rating 3 out of 5]

Definitely needs adjustments because details can be unclear, a few of the pictures have mistakes, and we were supposed to study it this way for our medical entrance to university.
I would not say this book is just for beginners since it has so many in-depth informations.

[Jessica Flaherty · Rating 4 out of 5]

A must have for any human biology/anatomy student. Simplifies concepts and has great review sections.

And so, the journey begins.

I study chemistry, had a couple of weeks to learn like half of it. Not fun :(

[Ben · Rating 4 out of 5]

I gave this a 3, but then decided it was unfair, since the information is accurate, it's well-written and supported by good diagrams. Not really extensive enough for anyone studying medicine or a specialized field of healthcare. Good for anyone who needs a quick overview.

[Medeea · Rating 2 out of 5]

After reading it like 10-11 times and memorising every little detail of this book(romanian translation), I can safely say it's full of mistakes and I hate every aspect of it and I can't wait to warm my house with it next winter🥰

[Amy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I used this as an extra guide to my college anatomy class. It was very helpful. It broke things down simpler for me.

I have a feeling I’m gonna hate going through this book again

I think I'm ready for Medical University 🙃
