Anatomy and Physiology I Anatomy and Physiology I
by Katrina T. on November 18, 2024
It's okay but there was far too much cellular biology and neurology when what I was looking for was to study (more extensively) parts of the body, skeleton, muscles, organs, etc. The inclusion of repeated info I've already learned in chemistry and biology was dreadfully boring. If all of that wasn't included this could be done in one course, simply "intro to anatomy and physiology." That would be so much better for those of who've already taken chemistry and biology.
