I made my own flashcards. I found that drawing out the structures and processes myself really helped me study them and focus on those little details. I got some colored pencils, and made them pretty detailed.

I bought the coloring books but don't think I'll have time to use them. I didn't last semester for A&P 1 and that was a full semester. lol I just youtubed some videos and that helped. A girl in class bought Mosby's flashcards and wondered if I should look into something like that. I'm definitely not an artist! lol

For the heart, it's helpful to look at a video of how blood flows through the heart. Also review action potential and resting membrane potential to better understand the physiology of the heart

Making your own cards will allow you to revisit them later and trigger memories associated with lecture/studying to create them. It adds a tactile level that reading someone else's material does not. Hard work is the only way to do it. If knowledge was downloadable I would have busted my bandwidth years ago.

I agree with the other posters, I made my own flashcards and it helped so much, also I used youtube for all the videos explaining how things work, that seemed to help me a lot. Good luck!

I'm no artist, either, and the usability for other people would have probably been questionable, but drawing out stuff really helped me. I'm a kinetic learner, so this was an effective strategy. I've heard good things about the coloring books, but never used them myself. I did purchase the Netter's cards and book, which I LOVED (and still have), and they were good for looking at everything in situ.
