Description
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.
