AP I Flashcards/Coloring book recommendations

[alphadog0228]

I am posting to ask people who read this what they think of buying a deck of Flash cards and/or using the Anatomy and Physiological coloring books for AP I?

I am looking at these Netters Anatomy flash cards but I dont think it has both A and P on the cards. Is there another set of flashcards that anyone has used? Any thoughts on how good the Netters cards are?

Does anyone have any recommendations? Trying to help a student

plan their strategy for studying/passing the course.

Thanks.

Hi there,

I have the Netter's cards and you are correct. It's mainly Anatomy. I did use them for bones and muscles and they helped me a lot.

As for the coloring book, I did get both but ended up using the physiology book than the anatomy book. The physiology book help break it down for me when there was an area that I didn't quite understand.

Another book I used is the Netter's Atlas of the Human Body. The book has great drawings that helped me as well.

Good luck! I hope you're able to find something that will help.

Thanks for your response.

May I ask which Physiology coloring book you used? There are about 3 different ones out there. Some have larger pics to color and some are so small i couldnt really make out the sections.

Who was the author of yours and what was the name of the book?

Thanks so much.

Hey there,

The physiology coloring book that I use and will be using for A&P 2 this semester is the: "The Physiology Coloring Book" by Kapit/Macey/Meisami.

The drawings are a little small but the description it gives on there with every coloring goes along pretty well with the textbook we are using for class - Saladin 4th edition.

If your friend is just starting out, there are websites that are great to learn from. I do a lot of studing with the websites as well. Here are the ones I use:

This one is great for Bones:
