suggestions on anatomy and phy books

I was wondering if anyone knew of a anatomy book that you could buy at Barnes and Noble, etc that explains physiology better than my text. Our text is not the best.

Thanks

carlarenee,

Im pretty sure you can find great books at barnes and nobles for Physio. I remember going there a few months ago and searching through a plethora of books thinking I wish I had some of them while taking A&P. Also, theres a greaaatt deal of information on this site as well as other internet sources that explains things differently.

Which book do you have? I took Anatomy and Phys as two separate classes, and the book we used in Anatomy (which in my school was Biol 20, hence my screen name ) was the tenth edition of Tortora and Grabowski's "Principles of Anatomy & Physiology". IMO, it's a good book, and it looks like you can get a used one on Amazon starting at $15. You could also look at Kapit & Elson's "Physiology Coloring Book".

I can't offer much more in the way of a strictly Phys book, as the teacher was terrible and I figured I already had a combo A&P book, so I sold it back to the college.

All of my recommendations are from classes I took a few years ago (Anatomy was in 2005, I think, and Phys was 2006?), so they're a bit old, but I hope that my helps you nonetheless.
