    I agree, read through the powerpoint and skim through the chapters focusing on clarifying things you "don't get" on the powerpoints. Also, look over the key points in the book. If you need additional...

  17. Oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve ?

    sn216 replied to sn216's topic in General Students
