tools necessary to study anatomy and physiology?

if you want to take the first course, all you need is a background in general biology that may or may not include human biology.

if you want to study A and P as a career, you need to have an extensive knowledge of the human body, it's parts, how they work and how they work together to maintain homeostasis.

This is such a great class. Are you in introduction or cadaver? Either way, repetition repetition repetition. The only thing that worked for me was writing it over and over and over and over. Plus you've gotta look at it and write it every day. Also, get multiple photo copies of the part/parts that you are studying and label label label. Having people quiz you is fine if that's what works for you. Didnt for me. Invest the time, it's worth it. If you havent taken latin, that is something to consider especially if you are planning a career in medicine. Also, get yourself a book on word root origins.

Scalpels, knives, dissecting instruments. And drawing implements.
