What else could be useful for A&P I?

Fox · Dec 18, 2004

MZachry,

I did a search for A & P notes on ebay, but came up with nothing. Was these notes very helpful for you.

To study I have: an A and P coloring book, flash cards, study guide, A and P notes I bought of Ebay, A and P Cliff notes, A and P Made Easy, several bookmarked AandP websites, and the website for the A and P book itself.
I have been looking at a variety of tissue pics hoping this will help me get a better understanding of what I will be looking for for each tissue. (...compact bone is easy b/c it looks like a tree cut in half with the rings showing.) I also printed pics out from the A and P book's website and made flashcards for the tissues. I may even draw out exactly what I see in the microscope, and make flashcards from that too.
I plan on recording all the lectures, and labs if possible with my microcassette recorder, and I plan on taking digitals of everything, if the instructor approves. This way I can study exactly what I will be looking at during lab tests.
Hope this helps, and GOOD LUCK!!! :)

I just finished my A&P I too. I have to agree with most of the people, taking good notes, flash cards, and having a good study group all helped me. The one thing I have to add is. For our lab praticals my study group took digital pictures of the models (especially the muscles) so we could make flash cards and that help out my study group a lot.

MZachry,

Of course these notes should not replace actual notetaking, but I thought they were very interesting. The CD even has digital pics of a disected cat from the seller's lab class.

The seller's ID is jasoncshay, and there is a current auction for one of his CD's located at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2228&item=4513110710&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW. If you want to search other notes, I put in anatomy notes in the search box.

This may or may not be helpful in your class, it all depends on the instructor, and your mode of learning. I'm glad I bought it though, the notes were clear, and the pics were very helpful to me.

Thanks again :)
You mentioned A and P notes I bought of Ebay, A and P Cliff notes, what are those? :imbar

The Anatomy and Physiology Cliff Notes is about the same as those Cliff Notes you may have purchased in school when you didn't feel like reading an assigned novel. It hits on major points of A and P.....for me just another tool to cram all this stuff in my brain!!! Hopefully, the more I see it, the more I'll be able to recall it come test time! Anatomy and Physiology Cliff Notes, at times, can be found on Ebay or Half.com. Also, I have seen it at Wal-mart, and I'm sure book stores such as Barnes and Noble sell them.

This is the same as I replied to Fox's post below, but I'll stress it here too.

I purchased the ADAM software student addition for under $100.00. They have a more advanced one for $200.00. The software allows you to see the anatomy from different angles and deeper layers.

For the Anatomy part, I found this to be REALLY helpful...

1) Photocopy illustrations from your text.

2) White out the labels (names of things you need to know) but keep the lines that point to the body/organ/tissue part.

3) Make a lot of copies of these and use them as fill in the blanks where you write in the names.

The first few times I would study the page in the book. The I would fill in as much as I could remember. Next, I'd go back to the book and write in the correct answer. After 4-5 times, I was able to fill in 80-90% of the names. I

I did something similar to David. I scanned all the pages out of my lab book and "cut" the labels from it. I then copied it twice to Word (our school printer prints 2sided so I had the same pic front and back)

I then sat down and labeled one side with what we needed to know (I didn't want to get confused with the labels we were told to disregard...now some might want to learn EVERYTHING regardless of whether your instructor wants you to know it, I stuck to what we were told to learn LOL)

I have a notebook filled with sheet protectors. Once I labeled all the pages (which in and of itself helps you to learn) I would practice labeling the blank side with a dry erase marker. My lowest lab practical was 99%.

With the tissues I would print them out on the schools color printer and trim them and paste onto flash cards and practice that way.

But I found simply scanning and printing out on full size pages to be the quickest. Initially I cut out everything and would paste on those big flash cards but that is SO time consuming! I can scan everything for 1 lab practical usually in an hour (and if you can find someone who wants to do it too you can split it up, each to half and make 2 copies to share!)
