Reviews

[Brooke]

This is definitely simplified anatomy/physiology, however it is thorough and useful for health studies. I don't know if the tiny cartoons throughout are necessary, but they are good for laughing at, and I do love to laugh.

Make a& p no easy to understand

Is so good love this book definitely helped with understanding the class. I wish this was the only one made things clear

[Janice]

This is a great book for a comprehensive overview of Anatomy & Physiology of the human body. It's not super in depth but gives a great understanding of systems and functions of the body.

[Marian]

Very accessible text book. Very corny sense of humor--better to leave that out.
