 Refreshing and enjoyable! July 17, 2007

Thing is, I haven't read or studied anything about this subject since high school. Now that I read quite a few on different subjects I needed badly a brush up on anatomy and physiology and that was exactly what I found in this easy guide. I was able to refresh concepts and learn some others, although you can't remember every name or specific detail, but the book is always handy in case of need. It's startling to realize how complex are human beings, particularly at the level of cell interactions such as metabolism and the immune system, that makes you wonder on life itself. Human body also fail and this book dedicate a space to explain the common diseases of each system and provide some tips to stay healthy. Great overview.
Great for review of important concepts May 29, 2007

This book helped me focus on important concepts of A&P before my final exam. It broke down into understandable bites whole body systems and left behind information not going to be tested from my massave textboook. It really helped me improve my final exam grade.
 Pretty basic stuff March 9, 2007

A&P for Dummies is a good starter book for people taking A&P I. The material is very basic but has some good information and tips for remembering different aspects of a given system. I would recommend this book if you don't know your AHEM... from your elbow. Also, if you haven't used your A&P for a while and you just need to brush up on the different systems, then it's okay for that too. So, go for it if you are still wet behind the ears or a little long in the tooth so to speak.

Chapter 7 on the nervous system was helpful along with the other chapters on the skin, muscles and urinary systems. This book explains anatomy and physiology in a very simple fashion, making it easier to digest. This book is a good review. The writhing was easy to comprehend.
Another good book which I found helpful for test preparation was Patrick Leoanrdi's Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide:
Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations--- Volumes 1 ,2 & 3. The questions in these volumes were on target with what I needed to prepare for in the exams in my college.
Essential learning tool! August 21, 2005

This "Dummy" book helped greatly to gaining a quick understanding of the subject matter. It was the difference between passing and failing a very difficult course.
