Is Anatomy and Physiology 2 harder or easier than A&P 1?

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing Nursing Q/A

I would love your opinions.

I'm having one of my rare nervous thoughts about classes. I took A&P 1 in the Summer with 2 other classes. I got a B in A&P 1 and an A in the other 2 classes. I will be taking A&P 2 in a 16 week setting (thank god), but I'm worried that this one may still be harder. I don' want an overload that I can't handle.

I will be taking Nutrition online, dosage and calculations online with A&P 2. I will also be taking the Nursing entrance exam in April. I have to study for that...I was good at the lecture way more than the labs (hands down).

Any tips or advice?

I found them to be similar as far as difficulty, but it sounds like different schools to split up A&P 1 and 2 differently.  At my school A&P 1 focused on skin, muscles, and nervous (I may be forgetting something).  In A&P 2, the focus was cardiac, respiratory, endocrine, GI, and a little one reproductive.  I found A&P 2 to be more enjoyable and a lot of the concepts repeated over and over again.  Gases will want to go from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure. Capillary nutrient exchange, gas exchange... many concepts relate to several areas of the body.  Things really started to come together in A&P2 and that made it even more exciting to learn.  Best of luck!

Could you please tell me where did you take your Human Anatomy Class and who was your teacher.
