Physiology Coloring Book, The

I got this book as a study aid to prepare for anatomy & physiology classes that are required prerequisites for the nursing program I plan to apply to. This book, along with its companion, Anatomy Coloring Book, is really very helpful. The plates are beautifully drawn, the instructions for coloring are clear and concise, and the accompanying text provides a useful summary of the anatomical or physiological feature being shown. The information is up to date and appears to have few errors although there is, very occasionally, a typo. The tactile and visual experience of coloring is really good to help retain and understand the information being conveyed. It is much more effective than reading and re-reading text, or staring at diagrams and trying to memorize everything that's labeled. Although I have two college degrees, both are in liberal arts and I finished them in the late 1990s, so I have limited exposure to hard science classes at the college level. By going through these two books on my own, I feel much better prepared for the anatomy & physiology class I'll be starting this fall. I would recommend them to anyone who feels a need for a study aid, wants to prepare for an anatomy or physiology class, or is just interested in how the human body works.

I gave this to my daughter in law who is working on her nursing degree. She loves it and my son said he may color it again when she finishes school. She thinks it will be a good study aid for her. I agree as it provided another way to encode information in memory. One may not recall a written definition but may remember the location, function, etc from coloring. I would have gladly tried a new way to study in college and graduate school. Even if this didn’t work, it couldn’t hurt and I would have had some fun. I’m looking forward to hearing if it was actually a learning tool. Overall a great idea in my opinion.

Ordered on my Prime account and arrived one day early. Nice book with a cool concept. Its not like a typical anatomy or physiology coloring book that your probably thinking about. This is an intro level text book. However, rather than the typical text reference to a picture, this book is written with instructions for the student to color the diagrams themselves to reinforce the learning. Also, the diagrams aren't the typical diagrams that you see in text books. These pictures and diagrams are drawn specifically for the text. For example, as the text is describing something like the Flight or Fight response, the student is coloring a picture per text instruction showing the whole response including the endocrine system along with the autonomic nervous system. And the drawing instructions included in the text have you color it in a beginning to end fashion of the response cycle. I think its a pretty cool book. It is an intro level text however. So if your an advanced student in premed or something like that, its probably to basic for you.

Pros: it provides a novel way to study physiology; coloring process is fun for many; explanations on the left pages are reasonably detailed; low price.Cons: coloring may become boring eventually; by coloring, you may spend much more time than you should to learn a concept; if you are doing research, consider another classic textbook "Guyton and Hall" seriously.Overall, it you just want to learn basics and love coloring, this book is a pretty good choice.

The write-ups for each section are well written and provide a good summary. They are a summary so don't expect a lot of detailed explanation. It is a good book to refresh your knowledge or to get an overview. I went into this never having taken an undergrad physio course and wanted to learn the basics before starting my master's program. It has definitely gotten me up to speed. Also, the pictures are great. I am a visual learner, so it really helps to "see" the physiological concepts using graphs, pics, etc. A word of warning, if you use markers to color it will bleed through to the other side. I took care of this problem by photocopying the pages with pics. This wasn't too hard, since the book is laid out with all the write-ups on the left and all the diagrams on the right. I thought about taping the photocopies pages back into the book, but decided instead to scan the book to use as a reference during my master's program. Honestly, for the money, it is a great value.

Years ago when I was in college I found both the Human Anatomy and Physiology coloring books at our college bookstore. I really appreciated the info along with the pics to color, even able to color the words down to the letter.BuAnd now with the spiraled version I can really easily get into the smallest corners and binders of the picture book. Highly recommended!

This was nothing what I thought I was getting. However, I do like the lecture that comes with each system.

I got this to help me study A&P I it’s a great study tool highly recommend!

Contém explicações sucintas de cada assunto, juntamente com esquemas e desenhos claros! A qualidade das imagens poderia ser um pouco melhor, mas não compromete os estudos. Recomendo o produto.

Si eres alguien visual para estudiar este libro es una joya, tiene conceptos bien relacionados además de que vienen pequeñas explicaciones para relacionarlas con lo que estás con coloreando, puedes incluso usar plumones a base de agua y no se manchan las hojas tan fácil.

Just a great idea, as it was when it first came to print - highly recommended.Buying it won't increase your knowledge but using it will.

Las explicaciones son geniales y los esquemas mejor aún. Todo resumido en una hoja. En todos los temas los apartados vienen organizados con una hoja de explicación y la de la derecha con los dibujos en esquema. Encantada con mi compra.

It provided a very easy and fun way to actually learn about the body! I received the book on time from the seller which is always satisfying!! Very pleased with everything. Some illustrations can be a bit confusing and hard to understand, but overall this is a great tool to learn about how the body is made up! Would recommend it to everyone who wants to learn about physiology!
