Customer Reviews from Amazon :


I actually think this is a very good textbook. It is straight-forward and very easy to read. It goes over basic anatomy and some basic physiology but you can skip these portions if you did well in those classes. It also has describes some diagnostic tests and diseases which is nice to see how these terms can be applied. Sections are broken down into the systems of the body (i.e., cardiovascular system, blood system, immune system, etc) and you learn the medical terms that apply to each accordingly. I only wish this book was offered in hard cover.



his book is amazing! Register for the free content that comes with the book. You can play all kinds of interactive games on there and it is a great tool to learn. The only thing that I didn't like about the book is that there are not all of the answers as you are building words, just the page numbers were you can find the separate roots and suffixes. Overall though this is a great buy. The whole book is set up like a workbook where you keep building on what you learn.
