Muscle/Bone Combo (flash cards)

When I received the flashcards, I was rather disappointed by the boring outline in the back of the flashcard and by the monotonous coloring of the parts of the sketetal and muscle systems. It doesn't make things fun to learn by adding mnemonics devices or even some creative flair to it! It is a flashcard by all means. It has one side blank with a diagram and the other side with info such as origins, insertions, and the definition itself. Additionally, it has a table of contents. Some of the diagrams are really unclear though. Well, you will learn something from these cards, but to a snoozing point!Good luck!

I am just finishing up a semester of undergraduate nursing/pre-OT anatomy and for my purposes would rate the bones cards 3 stars and the muscle cards 2 stars. The bones cards were helpful, although I later purchased the Barron's Anatomy Cards and found them to be more helpful (in color and include all body systems). The muscle cards were useless to me because they have each muscle isolated on its own card. Useless for a lab practical in which you have to identify muscles on a model - lying next to or underneath other muscles. It's too bad the author couldn't have included cards with all the muscles of a particular area together - muscles of the deep anterior forearm, for example.

This has been a very frustrating purchase ... the cards are fine and a good study guide but I was under the impression that I was purchasing a NEW PRODUCT and there are several cards missing that are criticle to my studies

These are great but very in depth. So much more than I needed for anatomy and physiology class. But great non the less.

After searching and searching for the mini booklets I gave up and just bought two sets of flash cards and glued them back to back to make them into my own booklets. It was very time consuming, however they have proven to be well worth it!

Very detailed and informative.

These are okay, but it would be nice to have a few other muscles pictured (but just grayed out or something) to show its orientation with other muscles in the area.

Well i was anticipating better pictures, along the lines of computer generated, kind of like what you see in a text book. Instead these look like crappy hand drawn pictures, granted that all the info in the card are accurate its hard to distinguish the bones and muscles.
