Summary: Excellent introductory text
Comment: In response to the last review, any text book titled "Principles of Anatomy & Physiology" was never meant to be exhaustive. This textbook merely endeavors to skim the surface and provide a basic understanding of a very broad discipline. (Read the Preface). No book can plumb the depths of every human physiological system AND its clinical applications in 1000 pages. (But if one exists, I'd sure like to know about it!) In terms of presenting the introductory information I think the authors have done a great job. I admire the excellent design layout and the numerous visuals. I don't think there can be too many visuals in a book that attempts to introduce complex concepts to those who would be unfamiliar with them. And as a reference book, these make it pretty easy to locate information.

Summary: Anatomy and Physiology student
Comment: This is the finest of all available books on Anatomy and physiology. The text is clear and easy to understand. The pictures easy on the eye and help to simplify the complex subjects covered. Scattered throughout the book are 'clinical correlates' which relate chapter information to 'real life' medical problems. These correlates help to integrate the information presented. The book contains clear histology slides and occasional pictures of cadaver dissections. The treatment of subjects is thorough including, for example, dysrhythmias in the chapter on cardiac anatomy and physiology. Accompanying the book is an atlas of the skeleton. Bright colors are used in all of the pictures and flow charts. The table of contents is thorough, clearly dividing up each chapter. I would Reccomend Tortora and Grabowski's A&P textbook for a two semester course in anatomy and physiology.

Summary: Great book for anyone taking college anatomy and Physiology
Comment: My study group and I used this book for our college anatomy and physiology classes. We found that the text was quite easy to comprehend and the pictures of muscles was very clear and precise. We also used the following 3 books when we were preparing for our midterm and final exams.
Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations
Volume 1 (ISBN; O971999619)
Volume 2 (ISBN: 0971999627)
Key Facts for Anatomy and Physiology (ISBN: 0971999694)
Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide: (Volume 1 and Volume 2) are outstanding study guides. It showed us the kind of questions to prepare for when we took our exams. We saw many of the type of questions asked on our exams from studying these study guides. Also, Key Facts for Anatomy and Physiology focused on the key ideas asked on the exams. I guess this is why me and my study group all got over 90 averages in our classes. This was our exact study plan. First, read important stuff in Tortora's textbook to get a really good understanding of A and P. For the test, we prepared heavy by studying the last 3 books described and using Tortora's book as a reference.
