Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

(back cover)

A hands-on learning tool for students and medical practitioners

  • More than 350 clear and detailed anatomical illustrations
  • Labels left blank to test your knowledge as your color
  • Answer keys located at the bottom of each page
  • Spiral binding allows the pages to lie flat
  • 8 acetate overlays feature full-color body system illustrations

    The Anatomy Student's Self-test Coloring Book contains more than 350 digitally-created line drawings, which give you sharp and realistic views of anatomical structures, accompanied by easy-to-follow text. The physical task of coloring in the illustrations imprints on your mind the shape and location of each body part, making later visualization of the parts much easier. Labels are left blank so you can test your knowledge of the names of the body parts and systems with the answers given at the bottom of each page. Use the colored acetate overlay sheets of body systems to correlate the relationships between the different systems.

    This is a must-have book for the vast numbers of students and practitioners requiring detailed anatomical knowledge. The Anatomy Student's Self-test Coloring Book gives you a clear and concise understanding of human anatomy.

  • 264 full-color cards
  • Anatomically correct color illustrations
  • Description on reverse side of each card
  • Cards color-coded by anatomical systems
  • Plus 11 7/8" x 15 3/4" human body poster

  • Synopsis:

    Learning and naming the many parts and systems of the human body can be a daunting task for student nurses, as well as for other students preparing for careers in the various scientific and medical professions. This highly original book helps make learning a great deal easier. Hundreds of anatomically accurate line illustrations show human body parts and readers are encouraged to shade them in with colored pencils. It's a simple physical task intended to imprint on students' memories the shape and location of each body part, making later visualization and memory retention much easier. The book has a spiral binding hidden beneath the cover's spine so that pages lie flat for easy coloring. Other features include—

  • Tabbed chapter openers for quick reference
  • Extra-heavy paper that minimizes show-through
  • Every body system and part is presented
  • All parts labeled with correct anatomical names

    An extra feature is a set of eight transparent overlays illustrating the human body. They simulate the peeling away of layers of tissue to reveal anatomical features, such as muscles, bones, organs, and circulatory system. The overlays are bound into the book with "scissor-perf" lines that show students where to cut. The Anatomy Student's Self-Test Coloring Book is a must-have learning tool for all students and practitioners who require detailed anatomical knowledge. In addition to a substantial and instructive text, it features 144 two-color pages and 32 additional pages in full color.
