Anatomy Demystified

by Dale Layman

Say goodbye to dry presentations, grueling formulas, and abstract theories that would put Einstein to sleep -- now there's an easier way to master the disciplines you really need to know.

McGraw-Hill's Demystified Series teaches complex subjects in a unique, easy-to-absorb manner, and is perfect for users without formal training or unlimited time. They're also the most time-efficient, interestingly written "brush-ups" you can find.

Organized as self-teaching guides, they come complete with key points, background information, questions at the end of each chapter, and even final exams. You'll be able to learn more in less time, evaluate your areas of strength and weakness and reinforce your knowledge and confidence.

This clear, heavily-illustrated guide to the human body covers anatomy of cells and tissues, muscle tissue, major muscles of the body, nervous tissue, membranes, organs, cancer, the skin, the human skeleton, the nervous system, glands, the senses, the cardiovascular system, the immune system, the respiratory system, digestion, genitourinary system, the embryo, and more.

This book SAVED my life! LOL!

Okay a little drastic but A & P 1 was driving me NUTS until I got this book and The Handy Anatomy Book! I struggled the first 3 weeks in A & P 1 and then checked the local library for any helper guides on A & P! I went and picked up about 6. This book and The Handy Anatomy Book (not complete title) will be following to A & P 2, next semester! LOVE the format, Clean looking pages, easy to follow. Chapters/Parts/System flowed pretty much with my book. 99% of the time the information given was the same as my book. The thing I LOVE most about both books is taking the information I need to learn in a non-intimidating way. EASIER to read and understand than my text! Easy enough I am sure for a teen just curious about how the human body works or taking these type classes! There is a test at the end of each chapter! Oh I also tried "dummies" and "Idiots" they were both too confusing, hard to read, plain and boring! They also went into a lot of plant and animal cells and such where I am only covering the human body in mine!

Anatomy Demystified

This is an excellent study, good for beguinners or experienced individual, as a reference book.

Good to Great

All of these De-Mystified books are good. They offer lots of easy illustrations and guidelines. But they move REALLY quickly. So use them as a refesher or an extra-aid to a college course.

excellent book from a real teacher!

as a physician i highly appreciate the way basic priciples are explained. i am still learning a lot! the quiz -part i consider a waste of paper. all in all highly recommended. some drawings are not clear,certainly not for some body who never studied anatomy,but this could be made up by looking in other pictural anatomy books [second hand]
