I am a Vet Tech student. These flash cards are a great resource for Anatomy & Physiology labs. Not only are the parts clearly labeled with the common names of structures, but the reverse side of each card has an unlabeled version of the same sketch so you can drill yourself. I only wish I had discovered these earlier in my studies! Used them today in a dissection lab and my lab mates all wanted to know where I got them. This is definitely a great addition to the study arsenal and at a very reasonable price.

It's a little confusing that they chose to publish this set of flash cards as it is. Flash cards are supposed to function as a learning device, helping a student memorize a large body of terminology or concepts.
For instance,instead of putting all the names of the bones in a cat's jaw on one flash card and expecting students to memorize all at one go, there should be separate cards for each bone, so the student memorizes one thing at a time. That's how flash cards are supposed to work!
It was also be better if these cards were larger and if some of them were printed in color.

I'm a surgical nurse for a large 24 hour Veterinary hospital dealing primarily in orthopedics and wanted to have something quick and easy to brush up on my dog and cat anatomy. I found these flashcards to be an easy and affordable way of getting back to basics. I have several expensive nursing books that I could have cracked open - tagging certain chapters and re-reading long-winded descriptions etc but these simple and inexpensive cards are just as effective and much quicker. They're perfect for beginners and those that just want to brush up.

I am a DVM student. I bought theses cards to help learn the massive amount of structures necessary for anatomy. I, like other reviewers, found that there was way to much info on each card. I can get a picture with every muscle labeled on it in my dissection guide. I was looking for something that would help to quiz myself by having one or two structures per card. Also I found that the terminology used on the cards is not current with the standard veterinary nomina anatomica. Save your money, these cards aren't worth your time unless you need a very very basic overview.

This is a tough guide to use because the line drawings can be confusing. Still, a good overview of the muscles of the cat, in particular.
