Visual Analogy Guide to Human Anatomy Loose Leaf – January 1, 2017

4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 372 ratings

The Visual Analogy Guide to Human Anatomy, 4e is an affordable and effective study aid for students enrolled in an introductory anatomy course. This book uses visual analogies to assist the student in learning the details of human anatomy. Using these analogies, students can take things they already know from experiences in everyday life and apply them to anatomical structures with which they are unfamiliar. This book offers a variety of learning activities for students such as, labeling diagrams, creating their own drawings, or coloring existing black-and-white illustrations to better understand the material presented.
Features include:
1. Visual analogies, mnemonic devices, conceptual illustrations, and labeling and coloring exercises help students learn the details and concepts of human anatomy.
Analogies and other key concepts are presented in a modular format with the text on the even-numbered pages and illustrations and analogies on the facing odd-numbered page.
2. Large, high-quality, original illustrations are presented in two colors.
Students may choose to color these illustrations to aid their comprehension of the material.
3. Helpful icons throughout each book identify microscopic structures, study tips, and two- and three-dimensional structures.
4. For fill-in-the-blank sections, the answers are found on the facing page. This allows students to learn not only though self-quizzing but also through the process of rewriting the correct information in the labeling areas.

5 out of 5 stars
Incredibly useful and handy visual study aid!
This guide is PERFECT if you are taking Anatomy and Physiology class, and even has some content that helps with the basics of the animal/eukaryotic cell for Cell and Molecular class work. It is very detailed but broken down in a way that makes it easier to remember the specific system or piece of anatomy you need to study. It utilizes multiple methods of learning, and helps with comprehension through visual aid and some interaction by encouraging the reader to do some coloring/color coding. I am very happy I purchased this to use during my most biology-heavy semester. This is such a great resource that I would definitely consider using it once I graduate and start teaching my own biology students!

    This book is definitely helpful when it's time to study. It shows you a good visualization of the bones and more. You can also color it or utilize it however you want. It gives you ways of remembering certain things also.

    Very helpful for review and breaks down complex concepts into simpler terms.

    Note: there’s an error on pg 24! Number 1 is supposed to be simple squamous epithelial cell as that is the type of tissue and cell being discussed and what is listed as number 1 on the next page.
