5.0 out of 5 stars Great intro card deck, October 4, 2009

I'm working on prerequisites to get into an RN program and before taking the required A&P courses I decided to take an intro level human biology that covers both A&P, just not quite as deeply. I've purchased 5 sets of flashcards and this is the set that best correlates with the information as delivered by my instructor. If it helps - we're using "Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology (9th edition)" by Elaine N Marieb. I have been buddying up with classmates to drill one another using these cards. These cards are conveniently (and nicely) organized by organ systems. They are not hole-punched so cannot readily be put on a ring, but that doesn't detract from these cards. They are on decent weight cardstock. Don't be fooled into thinking they lack comprehensive information due to the set being done on 310 cards. They are densely packed, but not overly so. The information is presented clearly with very detailed colored images. I like these best of the sets I've sampled - these are actually being used!

I purchased these flash cards (Kaplan Medical) and the Netter's Anatomy Flash Cards for an anatomy class at a local state college. The Kaplan flashcards are organized by systems, such as the skeletal system, muscular system, etc. My anatomy class teaches the topics by systems, so it is easier to use the Kaplan flashcards. The Netter flashcards are more detailed, but are organized by regions of the body, so when studying the different bones, I have to hunt through the deck of the flash cards to find which cards contain bones. Kaplan's organization makes it easier to use, but is less detailed than the Netter flash cards. So I would say the Kaplan flash cards are better for an introductory anatomy class and the Netter flash cards are better for a more advanced class.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lot better than the other flash cards, February 12, 2010

I got these after I ordered the Netter Flash Cards. These one's are far superior for beginning Anatomy students. The Netter ones didn't have the anatomical planes, body cavities, and Netter cards are arranged by body part. These ones are arranged by system and the cards include anatomical planes, body cavities, names of body parts, etc. These cards are also half the price of the Netter cards. I wish I would have just ordered these to begin with.
