Review
I have benefited much from this book in test preparation. If you are a medical student and want in-depth Physiology studies you could benefit much from larger books like Guyton's but if It is time to prepare for tests and want a book that will give you concise information, help you to prepare well, rich with questions that teach you how to think whether after each chapter you study or at the end of the book, this is a great book to read and use. the price is reasonable too !
I got the book so fast and new (even if the condition stated like new)!
The content of this book is quite useful, but the quality is terrible. A book is not useful if the pages are constantly falling out, no matter how good the content.

Review
got this for my wife who's a nursing student. She loves it and refers to it and the flash cards I got her constantly.
A very good book, very easy to read for the amature biologist. The only slight negative thing I would say is that some the nomenclature for certain areas of the body are sometimes not given in the respective diagrams. Apart from this, it was a great book for me and would reccomend this for anyone who is wanting to get a grasp of the basics in Anatomy and Physiology.
This book was helpful for a newbie to medical coding along with a number of other resources,

Review
I ordered 2nd day shipping, the book arrived my door next day. Super fast shipping! Great price too! I won't buy text book from my school bookstore any more... Human Anatomy and Physiology with Interactive Physiology® 10-System Suite (8th Edition)
I'm currently taking a human anatomy class and a physiology class concurrently. This is the required text book for the physiology class. While human anatomy requires a different text, i often refer to this text over the required anatomy text book. This text book is more detailed and well organized. It also includes great resources that will be sure to get you a good grade in the class. Well worth the $$.
It is a great book but marked up too much, I hope I can resell it back!!!!

Review
Great customer service from the creaters of the textbook. I scratched the code to hard and I was not able to read the online access information. However, I was able to call customer service at 6AM on Sunday morning and they were able to solve the problem. Text is very dense. I would recommend the pocket companion and the guyton and hall physiology review book for practice problems.
i attempted to contact the seller via email to return the book because although i was told i needed it the book for class i actually did not. The seller has yet to respond. so i have a book i cannot use and paid $70+ for it. The condition of the book was good, i have no complaints about that.
Ok everyone raves about this book. It is true that this book covers everything you need to know. However, the trick is not to get lost in their ridiculously long explanations that are repeated over and over and over each chapter. Seriously, this book could be condensed to half the size. Further, they mention a couple sentences about a concept and then quit and say "more on this to come later". They probably do that about a thousand times. Truthfully, i just got annoyed by reading the book. It is obnoxious and everything, from their graphs to their flow charts, is made to sound more complicated that it has to be and is encoded in erroneous/needless fluff. Medical students do not have much time, THAT IS TO SAY time is valuable, WHICH MEANS there is not much of it, SO YOU COULD CONCLUDE you should use time efficiently AND THIS MEANS... - if you found the previous sentence pointless and annoying, go with something else, perhaps BRS!

Review
the book is being used for my human anatomy class, and its pretty helpful with the simple to understand images and text. good for learning complex stuff in a simple manner. recommend for highschool-early college students.
This is an excellent source for a basic understanding of Anatomy and Physiology. Just note that any such class requires a lot of memorization. There are a lot of terms, and names for things to remember. This book makes it more interesting my adding stories and relating the information to real life or job situations. It helps to put things into perspective. The images are not always clear, but, when used with the workbook designed for the course, everything comes clear. I was not particularly pleased with the CD's that came with the book, but they do contain all the images from the book as an aid to studying.
Well I had given them the wrong address. I gave them the address to my old place. However, when I went to my old place (no one lives in that apartment yet), nothing was there. I went to the office, and nothing was there. I had aim books inquire Ups, and all they could tell me was that the product was delivered at the location. It was not. No one lives there, so how can it be that someone signed for it when no one lives in that apartment? as far as I'm concerned, I will never use aim books again, and I will avoid ups like the plague.

Review
Part of the book was bound in reverse. I just would have like to have known ahead of time. Other wise the book is good condition and it came promptly.
My teacher did not provide the best lectures for the respiratory section of my medical physiology. However, I discovered that this is a text that he used for most of his figures! This book really breaks down all the respiratory physiology topics and I would recommend it to anyone taking a medical physiology course!
I received the book promptly and in extremeley good condition. Would definitely buy from this buyer again!

Review
This book was purchased in advance of taking college level Physiology in order to review prior to taking the class. It's important to note that the course is being retaken after a hiatus of over 5-years because certain health care career programs require it. So if you've taken physiology before and want a great way to review the core information this is a fantastic book to do it! PROs: lots of well drawn images/drawings and full of the central information CONs: to do this properly you really should have a 36-color pencil set; if you try to do it with, for example, a 12-color pencil set you will probably become frustrated
This coloring book is a great study tool. It is a good companion to the Anatomy coloring book. Sometimes when I get tired of looking at my text book, I take a break and do some coloring. It feels like a break but I am still learning. Its good for hands on people. I don't know what I would do with out it.
I enjoyed this book tremendously. If you're a student taking a biology course, it is perfect for review and helps solidify concepts. Look over the table of contents and see if it correlates well with your studies. My suggestion is to never color directly in the book. Just make copies and color on those. This also allows you to color in marker, giving you brighter colors that stand out.

Review
I was sent two discs after I complained about the first one that I received. I have a Mac and have not been able to work the CD on it. Also it doesn't work in my lab which was quite inconvenient. I have tried the CD in every computer and the only one that each CD opens in is on a dell.
Nothing to add to the other reviews, but there is some disinformation about not working on Mac. Ordered my copy right here on Amazon and worked perfectly right out of the box. Also worked perfectly on Windows 7 via Parallels.
I bought this for my Regional Anatomy course [without physiology] thinking that i could learn more seeing and ''disecting'' a virtual 2D cadaver but believe me, I'm disappointed. Of course you can learn a lot with this cd, but: * Although being real body dissections they are photoshopped (you can realize when navigating between layers) * Not for my course but histology images don't worth a penny compared with a real histology book * Between layers sometimes important structures are omitted (ex. you can't see the costal margin between skin and liver, rare vascular folds of peritoneum, etc.) * Names or even structures are not shown (ex. bony insertions) * Doesnt show difficult relations between different organs, muscles, nerves, vessels. In my opinion: It's better to buy an Aclands Anatomy Videos or Netter Atlas despite the higher cost. If you want to learn good ''cadaveric'' anatomy this is not for you (and me) You can understand the REALITY of human anatomy without wasting your money Don't regret after your purchase like me, you are adviced. Maybe for phisiology is good ¬¬
