Editorial Reviews

"Each card provides a miniature self-quiz related to the full color figures on the front of the card. The images take the form of anatomical or histological depictions or graphical representations of physiological processes. Though small, the images are excellent… overall, undergraduate students will likely find this review system helpful in their exam preparations."

From the Publisher

Reviewer: David R Bell, BS, MS, PhD (Indiana University School of Medicine-Fort Wayne)
Description: This boxed set of flashcards on basic physiology is divided into seven subdivisions with questions on one side and answers on the reverse.
Purpose: This learning tool provides a means of rapid retrieval and review of the main components of organ system physiology.
Audience: The intended audience is first-year medical students. The authors are experienced medical educators and teaching innovators at the Georgetown University School of Medicine and are involved with the Master's transition to medical school program. Dr. Mulroney has received the Arthur Guyton teaching award from the American Physiological Society and is an author of Netter's Essential Physiology, 2nd edition (Elsevier, 2016).
Features: This card set covers the basic elements of all the physiological systems in the body. Each card provides a miniature self-quiz related to the full color figures on the front of the card. The images take the form of anatomical or histological depictions or graphical representations of physiological processes. Though small, the images are excellent.
Assessment: Though intended for early medical students as a review tool, this set of flashcards is very rudimentary in most sections and thus better fits the learning demands of undergraduate students in biomedical sciences. Much of the content is basic and heavily descriptive. Many cards are lessons in definitional histology and anatomy rather than medical school level physiology. Discussion of processes in many cases is minimally stated phenomena without explanations of how processes actually work. Nevertheless, some cards provide more analytical information as well as helpful tips for students. Medical school level physiology topics in muscle mechanics and pregnancy are missing, but otherwise the card set is comprehensive. Overall, undergraduate students will likely find this review system helpful in their exam preparations.
