Review from medical student with no anatomy background

I review this book before I delve into the topics of my first year med school anatomy class, and again before the test, and it's a big help. I wish that I had used it to study the limbs before my first exam. It has enough physiology for the first block of med school. It is not enough for medical school for sure, but it helps me put all the ideas from my textbooks together. The book is old, but not particularly dated. Some of the terminology differs from Grey's anatomy, but it is a good supplementary text. You will definitely need Grey's or Netter's too.

The Human Body in Living Color.

It is a wonderful book for anyone interested to learn more about the human body and to see its intricade working. I never thought of the human body as an entity put together with so many working parts. The beautiful drawings are a work of art and need special attention. Through this work of art I appreciate my body much more. A wonderful creation. I would refer this book to anyone, who wants my opinion. Ingrid P.

Excellent reference material for medical/paramedic classes

Graphics are excellent with amazing clarity. This book has been tremendously popular with paramedic and EMT instructors and technicians in my area. I bought my copy to help with my EMT Advanced Life Support class and found it extremely helpful with the anatomy requirements. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in anatomy.
