Anatomy and Physiology at MCC (macomb community college)

You can use older texts for A&P, I did it with the 5th edition when the instructor had the 6th edition. I don't even remember reading the book much, you usually just use class/lecture notes to get by anyway. I hope you landed a good instructor, that can make a big difference!

I have the sixth edition A/P book for MCC if you're interested....i was going to put it on craigs list. It's in excellent condition.

I took A & P this past fall and I have the 7th Edition. However, I know of 2 professors that do not use the book at all - just their power points. You could check with your professor to see if they use the book before you purchase it.

I never used my anatomy book that was assigned but other online resources and my class notes from lecture. It isn't a big deal if you don't have the same edition.

I did purchase the A & P Revealed CD for about $60. Honestly it was a waste of money. The CD was so hard to navigate and was not helpful at all. I tried to sell it back to the bookstore and they were going to give me $14 for it; instead I just gave it to someone else to try. Youtube.com has many of the great videos from McGraw Hill along with their website and if you are lucky enough to have a teacher that uses Angel, you will get plenty of info from there too. do you know who you have?

The A & P 7th Edition comes with a beautiful, soft cover booklet too but I never used that either. What you do need are the 2 lab books - the one is written by Professor Ragland (who is a teacher at Macomb) and the other is a cross-reference book. It seemed kind of silly to have a cross-reference manual at first but the best advice I can give you is to skim through the entire book when you get it and utilize all that you can from it (it can make a huge difference for you).
