Guys i have been reading that Cliffs and Barrons don't really go into much detail in Anatomy. Some people have been recommending Kaplan Blue Book. Any quick suggestions i am studying for the DAT right now, using Barrons AP and Cliffs AP.
For anyone that has taken the DAT recently is Anatomy a really big portion to know ?

i will keep you guys posted on how this journey goes!

Thanks in advance
 
@cdp1210 thanks for the quick reply. I think this should nail it! Still debating on Kaplan Blue Book - have you used it or planning on using it ?
I have not used KBB so I don't know how thorough the anatomy/physiology portion is. DAT destroyer plus feralis should cover all you need to know for that section, however like KoonS said it can be a little hard to understand if you don't have prior knowledge. Also use google/google images to your advantage. It's amazing how much of anatomy and physiology can be cleared up with a simple diagram.
 
I've read that they have a few errors in there. Is it very minimal and/or did they fix them?

It's from 2002. There's errors in a few places, but the physiology is relatively error free

CD #9,Track 50: They say that the oocyte undergoes meiosis 1 and 2 after
penetration by the sperm.
This is incorrect for humans. The correct process is as follows:
“Oogenesis begins in the ovaries of the fetus. All the eggs of the female are
arrested as primary oocytes at birth... ...Shortly before the primary oocyte is
released from the follicle during ovulation, the nucleus divides by meiosis to
become the secondary oocyte... ...The entry of the sperm causes the cortical
reaction, which prevents other sperms from fertilizing the same egg. Now the
oocyte goes through the second meiotic division releasing a second polar body.
Fertilization occurs when the nuclei of the egg and sperm fuse to form the
zygote.”CD 10

Jon should have said…
“nutrients are absorbed into the enterocytes of the small intestines mainly in the

DUODENUM.”

I am starting DAT destroyer here in a few weeks, that makes me feel better!
