Anatomy Coloring Book, The

I purchased this book to help me memorize the muscles for my muscle practical exam. I was very impressed when I started looking through the pages. The authors of this book have really paid attention to the details. Here are the PROS and CONS of this book to help give you a better idea of what to expect: PROS: - This book contains all of the muscles that I needed to study for my muscle practical exam. This is important because I also purchased another anatomy coloring book at the same time that I purchased this one, and that book was missing some of the muscles. - This book not only gives you the muscles to color, but it also helps you pay attention to the spelling of each muscle because it gives you the option to color the letters. Spelling is very important in the practical exams because we would lose points for spelling something incorrectly. - The illustrations are shaded with hatching lines and dots, and are shaded in a way that makes it easier to visualize the 3-dimensional structures that these drawings are meant to represent. - This book shows both deep and superficial muscles, and it shows them from different angles. - This book gives you visual examples of the muscles in action such as when a person is walking, lifting weights, riding a horse, etc. It also gives examples of how tight muscles affect flexibility and posture. I think it's amazing that the authors have chosen to include these examples because it makes it easier to memorize and understand the muscles, since it provides context. - Throughout the chapter, there are review pages that show you images of the muscles from different angles and ask you to write out their names. This is great because it allows you to test yourself on what you have learned. CONS - There is only one CON that I think this book has, but it's nothing major. My only criticism of this book is that the longer descriptions of the different anatomy terms are worded in a confusing way. They're basic terms that would be easy to understand if I read about them in an anatomy textbook, but I find that I have to read the descriptions more than once when I'm reading about them in this book. I don't consider this problematic though, because I already have my anatomy textbook to study from. The reason that most people buy anatomy coloring books isn't to read about anatomy, but instead to color the anatomy in order to memorize the material better. I think this book does an excellent job as an anatomy coloring book. I have attached some images of pages from this book that will help you get a better idea of what this book offers. I also included an image comparing a page from this book to a page from another anatomy coloring book that I purchased. The reason I'm including this image is because I read some reviews saying that the shading makes the illustrations look confusing, but I have to disagree with that. I think the shading is done nicely and I like that it's being used to enhance the 3-dimensional aspects of the anatomical parts that are being represented. It is much easier to understand because it doesn't look flat. In contrast, the other coloring book has cleaner lines because it doesn't have much hatching, but I think that's a drawback, since it makes the illustrations harder to understand. It might look fine aesthetically, but it's not very good as a learning tool, which is what this type of book is supposed to be. I think it's better when the illustrations contain thin hatching lines to represent the direction of the muscle fibers, while thicker lines are used to separate the muscles from one another. This is why I like the shading in this book, and I think it makes the illustrations clearer, instead of harder to understand. If you're going to buy an anatomy coloring book, I think this is a very good one to get. You can also take a look at the images that I have attached to see if this book is right for you.

This book is great for learning anatomy! It has many pages and chapters to color and read! It consists with coloring pages that also have the description of which part you are coloring. I would definitely recommend and buy again!

I bought this for myself to study anatomy, but after flipping though it and seeing how much incredible detail was in it I knew I couldn't keep this all to myself, so I gave it as a gift to a grateful pre-med student family member. The names of the anatomical features are helpfully in bubble letters so you can color them in the same color as the pictured features and it helps you study. Many pages and incredible detail. Good luck in college all of you reading this and thank you for your commitment to healthcare! 🤞💀🫀 P.S. Purposegames.com also has many free anatomy study games that can also help you learn anatomy outside of a textbook

This book was needed for class, and very affordable..

Great informative book on anatomy with coloring a benefit to understand "connections". It is especially good for someone, who is artistic or comprehends information through color or tactile learning. It would also be good for someone learning information in the medical field of education.

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!

Great way to learn anatomy! This book provides a fun and entertaining way to learn human anatomy. Colouring in the anatomical pictures helped me to remember them better and made Anatomy fun and more familiar. As you colour, you can really focus on the anatomical structure you are working on, and so its easy to remember them. Strongly recommended for medical, Yoga, sport medicine students!

This is a fun interactive way to learn, especially if you are into those adult colouring books. It has a lot of knowledge about anatomy and personally I find it makes it easier to study when you are colouring it yourself

Petit cadeau pour mon fils, étudiant en première année de médecine. Trés détaillé !! Il est très content !!

è utile per imparare ed è accattivante

I think this is the best way of learning anatomy! The pictures are really accurate and well-explained. I love it. Honestly, the only disappointment about it is how the female reproductive system is reported, all in comparison to the male reproductive system (as if the female reproductive system was only to give birth and pleasure to men. Even if, biologically speaking, the "default sex" could be female-like, as it is primarily formed in the fetus). The description is clearly sexist and biased, shame on the writers. I know it is just a page of the book, but let's get real that this is offensive and just shouldn't be acceptable anymore. Besides that, it's a really fun and beautiful book!
