5.0 out of 5 stars Anatomy Flashcard, Conveniet, August 11, 2006

I found these cards good for studying and learning about bones and muscles for my anatomy and physiology class. The pictures are well-done, the cards are handy, easy to carry around when you are doing errands. Other study aids I found very useful were:

"Anatomy and Physiology study guide: Key review questions and answers with explanations volume 1, 2, 3 by Patrick Leonardi (This has great questions and answers that you need for exams in college)

Also, Key Facts for Anatomy and Physiology by Patrick Leonardi (wonderful summary of the facts when your pressed for time)

A very good anatomy and physiology textbook I was assigned is
"Human Anatomy & Physiology by Elaine N. Marieb (liked the way she writes, made learning more pleasurable)

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful and convenient, October 23, 2006

I am taking a 2-semester anatomy and physiology course now and these cards have been a great help. They're convenient to use - I carry a section in my bag and review them when I have 10 minutes here or there. The drawings are really good, and unlike another reviewer I have not found any errors. The only downside is integumentary (skin) system isn't included. But other than that, I have no other complaints. I am very happy I bought these.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not enough detail, June 18, 2008

This review is from: Barron's Anatomy Flash Cards (Cards)

I bought these cards to supplement A&P, but the cards do not go into enough detail to be very useful. Also, I've found several smaller mistakes, and one large mistake (one of the cards of the heart was labeled backwards - I confirmed this with my instructor). After a couple weeks I went back and bought the Netter's flash cards - they were comparably priced and are *much* more useful.
