Review of Vascular System and Viscera Anatomical Chart (Wall Chart)

The chart is good, but the shipping conditions were not. I got my chart with many folds, and some folds are over those little descriptions of the arteries. Impossible to read.

It was not shipped rolled (appropriate to charts)

Review of Meridian Chart (Poster)

I am not farmiliar with acupuncture medridians and this is new information for me. I can not comment on the accuracy of this chart as it pertains to acupuncture. I will say that the chart is too small and the lettering used to depict the points are too small. The main purpose of a chart like this is to identify acupuncture points therefore the chart is a second class chart..ok for amateurs.

This book has full color illustrations of the skeletal, muscular and nervous systems, as well as the cardiovascular system.
The brain is illustrated in full color with the cerebrum, cerebellum, heart and lymphatic system depicted alongside the heart and lymphatic systems. Surprisingly, the cerebellum is nearer the tip of the spine. The work is perfect for a wide constituency of medical people and students of the human anatomy.
This work will be helpful for any science class project or illustration. The human body systems are presented in full color with the boldface detail provided. This book would be useful in explaining the various body systems and processes to patients. It is a solid value for the price you will pay.

Excellent review tool, however, I would recommend for realistic shipping purposes that Amazon/seller take on sending the items in an envelope instead of wasting a huge box just for a few laminated references.

Review of The World's Best Anatomical Charts: A Collection of 37 Medical School Quality Human Anatomy Charts in a Handy Desk-Sized Format (World's Best Anatomical Chart Series) (Paperback)

"The World's Greatest Anatomical Charts" is a handy reference on human anatomy. It contains 27 charts that include the digestive system, birth and pregnancy, the heart and blood vessels, and a multitude of other charts on various parts of the human body. At the end of the book there are pages highlighting some serious diseases and why they are caused.
This book is good for somebody that holds an interest in the human body but this is not the best thing for a serious student that is studying anatomy. The charts in this edition are very nice and the color shows good. The print is small but that can make do. This chart is not neccesarily a neccesity but would be good for just taking a peek at what's inside our bodies.
Happy Reading!

Review of The Muscular System Anatomical Chart (Poster)

The chart helped me greatly while studying muscular-skeletal anatomy.However, it was not fun,and was time consuming, even a little confusingto keep looking at the listing on the corners of the chart to match the numbers with the names.I would have preferred to buy the bigger (life size) chart and see all the names of the muscles on top of each muscle.
