Book Synopsis

Anatomy Coloring Workbook

The human body is wondrously complex, with 700 muscles, 206 bones, and countless cells and tissues. Studying and remembering all of them can be overwhelming.

The Anatomy Coloring Workbook gives you a clear and concise understanding of anatomy. The interactive approach to learning anatomy through coloring takes less time than memorizing from textbooks and flashcards. The coloring process thoroughly fixes anatomical concepts in your mind, and when you need to recall the material, you’ll be able to visualize the body structures.

The diagrams and plates in the Anatomy Coloring Workbook have been created electronically, to give you a sharp, precise rendering of anatomical structures. We fully explain the concepts behind each coloring lesson to make the learning experience complete. We include an introductory section on anatomical terminology to get you started, coloring suggestions to assist you, and labels for easy identification and reference.

This book is an invaluable resource for students of anatomy, physiology, biology, psychology, nursing, medical technology, health administration, fitness education, nutrition, art, and more.

Medical practitioners, dentists and dental hygienists, physical and occupational therapists, educators, and professionals in scores of other fields will also find directed coloring a helpful means of review.

The 125 plates in the book are organized into the following sections:

Introduction to Anatomy The Skeletal System The Muscular System The Nervous System The Endocrine System The Circulatory System The Digestive System The Respiratory System The Urinary System The Reproductive System
