Paramedic: Anatomy & Physiology [ILLUSTRATED] (Paperback)

by Bob Elling (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Paramedic: Anatomy and Physiology utilizes a systemic approach, beginning by formulating a basic picture of the human body then moving into more anatomic detail. Individual chapters discuss body systems, both how they function individually and together as a unit. In addition to the overall picture of each system, this text presents both the gross anatomy and the microscopic anatomy of vital structures. Since the study of anatomy and physiology requires some basic chemistry knowledge, there is a basic chemistry review provided in the Appendix.

Written for paramedics by paramedics, Paramedic: Anatomy and Physiology uses a case-based approach to help future paramedics develop analytical skills, while learning the content of anatomy and physiology.

1.0 out of 5 stars shipping is very poor by GreatbookDeals, June 26, 2009

By	Victor Seto "vs88" (los angeles, ca) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Anatomy & Physioloby Paramedic (Paperback)

Bought this book from Greatbook Deals. The shipping took forever. Bought a book the same time and it came literally a week and half before this book arrived.
However, the book itself is very good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Medic students who use this to supplement their knowledge, April 14, 2009

By	Leon H. Hartsock "Firefighter" (Tampa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found this book to be very easy to understand. I used this to supplement my Brady Paramedic text book.. I think that this book is clearer and in most cases just as informative as my Brady Text. For that reason, and the fact that this book is well organized, I would recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun to Read, December 31, 2005

By	Paramedic to RN (Texas) - See all my reviews

So often you have to drag yourself to the book when studying Anatomy. This one is so well written and illustrated; it is actually fun to read. Not too much detail to get lost, but certainly enough to cover all the main points. If you want to dig down into further detail on anything, I recommend "Atlas of Human Anatomy" by Frank H. Netter, MD.
