This attractive, newly designed set of Barron's Anatomy Flash Cards makes an ideal study aid for med school students, nursing students, and health care trainees who are preparing for tests. Each card pictures a human body part labeled with its medical name, location in the body, and function. A total of 265 4" x 6" cards show muscles, bones, and organs, and are color coded according to their general function in the human body. An important new feature in this second edition is a related Internet resource that contains electronic color images of each flash card. Students can now connect to Barron's special anatomy Web site and enter a unique code allowing them access to the interactive Web site. Once logged on, students can use the site's interactive technology to test themselves on every detail contained on the cards, and even create playlists of particular systems or areas where they require further study. The cards come boxed with a full-color, anatomically accurate poster that shows the human body and its major parts, as well as a toggle so cards can be pulled out and studied on-the-go. The poster unfolds to size 11 3/4" x 16 1/2".

Barron's anatomy flashcards are nice if you have no other options. However, there are many other options out there. I highly recommend Netter's Anatomy Flash Cards. Netter's drawings are more accurate, more thorough, better presented, and more memorable.

Also, if you were planning on using Barron's online functionality, beware that the site is not functioning. Upon calling Barron's customer support, they state that they are aware of the issues and cannot offer me a fix.

If you already have these cards, you will probably be fine. They will help you learn anatomy, but if you are trying to decide on which cards to buy, just spend a bit more and get the best.

I am a college student majoring in biology and am going to be going in to a physical therapy program at the college that I go to. These cards have been tremendously helpful to me for studying for tests outside of lab. Since you are not allowed to take the bones and models out of the lab room it is hard to study, but these cards are an excellent way of studying without the models.
I hope that this information was helpful
