| I found this book useful as a reference in my studying for my college anatomy and physiology exams. Tortora is a great author and knows how to communicate important facts in a simple way. In this way, the whole audience can understand. He makes A and P a pleasure to learn. However, I also used the following books which are also sold on amazon.<br>Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations Vol 1(ISBN: 0971999619) and also<br>Vol 2 (ISBN: 0971999627)<br>I got a 97 average using these 3 books. My advice get these books if you want excellent grades. |

| This is not a very expensive text book for it's category. All the same it is a well written book by a reputable author and staff. The book demands that you pay full attention to every word in it's text. I mean that the text is written in a concise manner by a professional for the novice. Attention to detail is of utmost importance when you are studying. A solid basic knowledge of first year anatomy and physiology is essential. It wouldn't hurt to have your A&P text beside you. The author assumes that the student knows the basics and does not go into basic discussions but builds on each topic. Understand that this is a challenging text book pulling together all facets of A&P with full emphasis on Respiratory Care.
<br />I personally find this text book a pleasant challenge. Keep in mind that the ultimate goal here is to be capable of keeping someone breathing. After all if you can't breath nothing else matters!
This book is really helpful if you're just starting out in Respiratory Therapy, the illusrations are great. The book is easy to read and understand. Great reference book. There are charts and quick references you can either cut out of the book or photo copy and have as a handy pocket guide. |

| I used this book as a supplement to my A&P lab. I found the pictures to follow along with every lab chapter that included microscope work (which was almost all of them), including skeletal, cardiac, & smooth muscle tissue, and the many types of epithelial and connective tissue. It also gives some great photos of the cranium, vertebrae, and all other bones of the skeleton, skeletal muscles of the human body, a cat dissection, and many more photos. The quality of the photos are first rate and very helpful. There is little time in lab to memorize all of the types of tissue and bone seen through a microscope and this caused us all some stress to know we had to memorize these microscope views for the following week's quiz. There are few locations where you can find microscope photos outside of class, and this is one of them. I found that I often had an advantage over other classmates by studying from this book outside of class for the next quiz. And, I did get an "A"! |

| Being a college student I really liked the format of the book. Being that a shortage of time I experience since I have to prepare for many tests at once, this study guide was on the mark. I found the concise review helpful for studying for my anatomy and physiology exams. If you want great questions for anatomy and physiology test preparation, I highly recommend:
<br />Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations, Volume 1 and Volume 2 by Patrick Leonardi. These two books had great test-preparation questions that geared me to know what to study for the test. It also showed me the surprise type of questions to get ready for. You can't go wrong with these three books.
This lightweight, protable book stores enough information on the topic of Anatomy and Physiology, allowing a student to supplement their learning. Though I do not reccomend this book as the sole source of reference, I do find it helpful for referencing the basics. The small size allows for a student to carry it with them, therefore allowing them to study at any time and place...no excuses! |
