Studying for A&P II

[mariposabella]

So this semester Im so lost with anatomy and physiology. My professor has a study guide for our first exam which is on the Endocrine System, Blood, Lymphatic Sytem, and Immune System. He has about 160 questions on his study guide, plus his notes, and he uses the book, but its SO much information. Its really overwhelming, I dont know when our test date is becasue he still has to go over 2 chapters and its already week 4 of school. So Im guessing our test is the first week of October sometime. HOW do I study for all of this? We are using the 8th edition of the Marieb book. I hear from other students that the professors test are very hard and he has trick questions on his test. Im not trying to fail his class! In my A&P I class my professor didnt use the book he just used his own notes and he took test questions from there so it wasnt that hard to study. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do?

I used "anatomy arcade" website for A and p I but there are a ton of websites for practice! Google anatomy and physiology study or endocrine system or lymphatic system. The "game type" websites really helped me!! Extremish.com was good too! Check them out!! Kelli

When I was in ap2, I drew out a lot of the system myself.... draw it out and write conceptual processes out next to it.

Ohhh, I definitely agree with the pp. Forgot about drawing out...I did a bunch of that also!

I am taking that class as well, what i do is i read the chapter in the book( is a lot but it does help) then i go to youtube and watch videos about the blood, heart .... then i google the websites to practice that had helped me a lot good luck

I agree with ar23. YouTube is a wonderful place to go to help solidify confusing information. I used this resource for A & P I and passed the course with flying colors. There is a lady on the site, last name Diamond (don't know if I'm allowed to give this info) anway, she is great. Kind of reminds me of Tweety Bird's grandma but I just love her. She has about 40 videos on anatomy. She does not go into the physiology side of the course but the videos are definitely worth watching. Good luck.
