The A&P II lessons on Straighterline are not good. They need improvement because it does not cover much from the quizzes and exams. Must have a book for this course. It is a tough course.

I found this course difficult as the final exam questions are not anything like the ones you study with and take in your other quizzes. For how I study this is difficult for me. Also having the lab incorporated with the class instead of separate helps to understand things. I don't like that they split them up.

This course was better than taking it in the classroom. It allows you to take as much time as you need to study the materials for the upcoming quizzes insead of cramming so much information in your head at one time so you can really learn the material.

This text is written for the two semester anatomy & physiology course. The writing is comprehensive, providing the depth necessary for those courses not requiring prerequisites, and yet, is presented with such clarity that it nicely balances the thorough coverage. Clear descriptions and exceptional illustrations combine to help students develop a firm understanding of the concepts of anatomy and physiology and to teach them how to use that information. Great care has been taken to select important concepts and to perfectly describe the anatomy of cells, organs, and organ systems. The plan that has been followed for ten editions of this popular text is to combine clear and accurate descriptions of anatomy with precise explanations of how structures function and examples of how they work together to maintain life. To emphasize the concepts of anatomy and physiology, the authors provide explanations of how the systems respond to aging, changes in physical activity, and disease, with a special focus on homeostasis and the regulatory mechanisms that maintain it. This text has more clinical content than any other A & P book on the market.
