A Kid's Review
This review is from: Anatomy and Physiology: Understanding the Human Body (Paperback)
A student required to use this text should keep two general points in mind.
1) The figures are not as well proof-read as the text. Spelling should be crosschecked with text examples. Some of the errors are more substantive than this. 2) To keep the text simple, some oversimplifications are used and some things are stated as fact that aren't necessarily so. Description of membrane electrical behavior leaves potassium leak channels out of the resting potential. Muscle cramps are used as an example of ATP depletion when cramping has many causes - rarely including ATP shortages. An older used copy of a more ambitious A&P text would be a valuable backup to this one.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Anatomy and Physiology: Understanding the Human Body (Paperback)
In the description this book was supposed to be like brand new with very few marks inside. When I received the book, the book was falling apart and the pages were coming out, there were more high lighted pages than ones without any and the book also had a terrible odor.
