"This book was amazing for helping me actually learn the structures for Anatomy and Physiology I. I recommend using this book while you are learning the structures in lab. It helps it stick in your brain, and it makes learning fun. I even found myself during the lab exam remembering the colors I used for that particular structure.
One thing I also like is they give you a little study outline for the page you are about to color, detailing what they do.
It was the best money I could have spent to help me pass lab this Summer!"

The Anatomy Coloring Book 0642688054786 Medicine Health Science Books Reviews
- IMPORTANT Make sure you READ ALL the information in the section labeled "INTRODUCTION TO COLORING" BEFORE you start coloring your first page. This is located on pages "xii" and "xiii" in the front of the 4th edition. This book is very well thought out and there really is a "method to the madness" if you actually read and follow the directions.
I've found it beneficial to read through all the NAMES first, checking for parts that have similar names. Second, choose SIMILAR COLORS for SIMILAR NAMES or FUNCTIONS. For example, I chose Red, Orange and Yellow for the "Levators"; 2 colors of Blue for the "Zygomaticus Major" and "Zygomaticus Minor"' and 2 shades of Brown for the "Depressors" (page 44). Then look over the basic diagram to get a feel for the order which they appear in the body. Assign the colors in order by location in the diagram. For instance, go from back to front as follows Red (back), Orange (middle) then Yellow (front). This natural color transition helps solidify the order they appear from postier to anterior or superior to inferior (whatever the case may be) etc. NOTE I realize this takes extra time planning your colors, but it really makes it easier to memorize when there is a consistant plan in place for what the colors visually symbolize.
Finally, color in the Name First then repeat the names while coloring in that particular portion of the diagram. . I also underline the names on the left page the same as the diagram color - just makes it faster to locate if I want to look for something later...not necessary, but nice.
I pre-ordered my book as I wanted the newest edition. I LOVE MY BOOK and ended up having to order a couple of extras as gifts for my "nurse" friends who wanted a fun way to refresh their memory too! - This book was amazing for helping me actually learn the structures for Anatomy and Physiology I. I recommend using this book while you are learning the structures in lab. It helps it stick in your brain, and it makes learning fun. I even found myself during the lab exam remembering the colors I used for that particular structure.
One thing I also like is they give you a little study outline for the page you are about to color, detailing what they do.
It was the best money I could have spent to help me pass lab this Summer! - Like most of the reviewers, I am taking anatomy and physiology for two semesters and was looking for a book to supplement my learning. I am currently four pages in to coloring and here is my review.
Pros Short explanations on every page on the parts that you are coloring and their functions.
It makes you color in the part as well as its name so you remember how it is spelled
Uses terminology that you must (eventually) be familiar with e.g "anteriorly" and "posteriorly"
Cons While most of the diagrams (thus far) are pretty clearly drawn, some are extremely small (the diameter, and some times smaller than the diameter of the tip of the colored pencil)
Some diagrams are not very clearly labeled thus, makes coloring it confusing.
e.g on page 4, you are to color male and female reproductive systems. However, the "stars" that mark areas that you are not supposed to color are microscopic! I actually accidentally colored in an area that I was NOT supposed to color because I could barely see it.
You need more than the recommended 10 colors are stated in the introduction- you probably need 48 because some colors such as red, blue, yellow, purple, and green are associated with specific parts. Also, you are to color using light colors and some pages have letters from A to N that you have to use different colors for.
My suggestion buy the book, buy lots of colored pencils, buy NEON colored pencils and also, buy bright colored gel pens with a 0.38 point. Those will come in handy when you are coloring linings of anything. Trust me, some of these linings are SO narrow, you would be coloring out of the lines if you don't have a pen. Plus, these linings are to be colored in light of bright colors so get some neon or even pastel ones!!
Good luck! - Bought this book for my daughter who's taking Anatomy in college. She said it's a great book, and, "Anyone who's a Kinesthetic learner should use this book. Seeing pretty colors attracts you so the coloring helps that." I got her it in time to help her study for her midterm and she quizzed herself by covering the labels on the page she was coloring. She followed the suggestions in the book for what color to use for different functions and suggests everyone do so because it helps when you later go back to something you already colored. She got a 103/100 on the 1st test she used it to help study for ) As a patent I'm ecstatic with it since my daughter is very happy with it and said it's helping her. I also bought one for her friend who's studying for a career in the medical field too.
- This really helped my master Anatomy as a nursing student. I have ADHD and dyslexia, so reading copious amounts of textbook pages has always been a challenge for me. Regardless of your learning abilities, Anatomy is a subject best learned through hands-on tactile work (labs and other kinesthetic learning activities). This coloring book is the perfect conjunction of grown-up learning bringing back memories from childhood coloring books...haha!
- What a great book and resource for any student or aspiring student of career in health care. Literally the book is easy enough to understand that even a young teen would enjoy coloring these, not to say they are watered down in anyway. If you are taking an A&P course, I would highly recommend this and the Physiology coloring book. Get your self a decent set of color pencils because you are going to want a large variety of color.
I wish this came in a the ring binder format with reinforced punch holes to resist tearing. This would make it easy to pull out an entire page and color it side by side with other assignments. The book is just a pain to hold open while coloring, but this a very minor thing and mostly a want.
