A&P 2

[1futurenurse12]

I'm beginning A&P 2 tomorrow! I made an 88 (solid B) in part 1. How does part 2 compare to part 1? Harder, easier?? Any advice?

I wouldn't say 2 is easier, but for me it was more enjoyable. Finally I got to learn about "the cool" systems of the body (because the skeletal and nervous systems are so uncool, you know ). It's less about memorizing and more about understanding, which possibly makes it more difficult. My biggest problems were the endocrine system (hormones, hormones, hormones) and fluid and electrolytes (I'm still a little fuzzy on the hypertonic/hypotonic thing). The cardiovascular system wasn't too hard for me to learn; I used a couple of YouTube videos (I think one was a rap) to help me memorize blood flow into and out of the heart. It's just a lot to grasp. Study hard! (I barely made an A in 1 and made a solid A in 2. I had the same professor for both, so 2 was in fact easier or I finally got used to my professor's teaching and testing style.)

A&P 2 was just like A&P 1 for me. More/different body systems. I got a slightly better grade in A&P 2 than 1 (A- in A&P1, A in A&P 2).

As for me, I thoroughly enjoyed A and P 2 so much more. It's still memorization but not as much. The systems just put everything into perspective. Good luck!!

Like Nurse2b7337 said, I also enjoyed A&P2 more than 1. A&P1 was all just memorizing bones, body parts, etc. A&P2 is more interesting and shows you how the body works (reproductive system, endocrine system, nervous system.) Although it is a little harder, I still enjoyed it more.
