A&P II Winter/Spring '08

daisyfleur70 · Jan 20, 2008

I also recommend getting a medical dictionary. I went out and got a Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary today, and I'm really wishing I'd gotten it for A&P 1, but I didn't want to spend the money, and I didn't know how helpful it would be. I tend to buy the basics... what I need/is required, and don't really go for optional purchases. But I did end up getting quite a few extras for this class series; flash cards, the coloring book, and now the dictionary.

Here's hoping I can get that 4.0 this quarter. :pumpiron:

I was unable to use it since I have a Mac but I hear it's amazing.

Hi- all Thursday was a first class, I was excited to get back into class. This is my last pre-req to get into the Nursing program. We have the same prof. and I really like the way he teachs so I am confident I can pull off a good grade. Just study study study!

I started A & P II last week. Hope the rumors I've heard aren't true and II won't be harder than I.

I had an easy ride in A&P I because we spent like half the semester on Chemistry and Cell Biology, and I had taken both those classes already. A&P II will be harder because it is all new material.

I have already taken human anatomy (covering the anatomy of all body systems), so half of the material in A&P II will be/should be review for me. I am taking it online, however, which I don't like as well - I like the face-t0-face interaction better. The professor also is not too organized, which is a huge pet peeve of mine.

Good luck to everyone!

I started this week with physiology. We just went through the basics, which was review for me since I studied the stuff in anatomy and biology. I thnk this semester will be enjoyable. We sill see.

anyone know of any websites that have good photos of blood cells seen under a light microscope?
the textbook has some pictures, but the prepared slides we looked at in lab weren't the best quality for discerning the different types of leukocytes....
any links or suggestions would be appreciated.

little late, but maybe still helpful to someone.......

We just finished week 3 of a&p2 and our first lecture exam is looming on Tuesday of next week. It will cover the endocrine system, the blood and the heart. I feel pretty ok about the blood, but I will happily used the links posted to check out the slides for the practical exam on Feb. 5th. The endocrine system I am feeling a little shaky about, though. The heart, I've not really had a chance to finish the reading and she sped through the lecture like lightning, and I don't think many people had read the chapter yet because there were like NO questions. *sigh* So I'm a little nervous about that, too. I'll be studying all weekend, to be sure.

Whoa! I am about to take my first exam this Monday (study all weekend fun! or so says the gf) and honestly we didn't cover a lot of what is on this website http://cellbio.utmb.edu/microanatomy/Endocrines/endocrines.htm .

I'm wondering, am I getting ripped off in my education? Will I have to study harder and more if and when I get in to nursing school? Now I'm scared for my future!
