Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual and E-Labs

Gain the hands-on practice needed to understand anatomical structure and function! Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual, 12th Edition, provides a clear, step-by-step guide to dissection, anatomy identification, and laboratory procedures. The illustrated print manual contains 55 A&P exercises to be completed in the lab, with guidance including instructions, safety tips, and tear-out worksheets. Online, eight eLab modules (available via an access card) enhance your skills with simulated lab experiences in an interactive 3D environment. From a team of experts led by noted educator Kevin Patton, this laboratory manual provides you with a better understanding of the human body and how it works.

• Step-by-step "check-box" dissection instructions with accompanying illustrations and photos cover anatomical models and fresh or preserved specimens - and provide helpful guidance during dissection labs

• 250 illustrations include microscopic and common histology slides, photos of cat, pig, and mink dissections, photos of various bones, and depictions of proper procedures

• Eight interactive eLabs provide a realistic laboratory experience in an interactive digital environment

• Complete lists of materials for each exercise provide handy checklists for planning and setting up laboratory activities, allowing for easy and efficient preparation

• Modern anatomical imaging techniques are introduced, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasonography, and challenge you to interpret actual images of the human body

• Images of microscopic anatomy include "zooming in" to microscope slide images at high-power magnification

• Tear-out Lab Reports contain checklists, drawing exercises, and questions that help demonstrate your understanding of the labs you have participated in, and also allow instructors to easily check your progress

• Labeling exercises and coloring exercises make it easier to identify and remember critical structures examined in the lab and in lectures

• Learning objectives at the beginning of each exercise offer a clear framework for learning

• *H*int boxes provide special tips on handling specimens, using equipment, and managing lab activities

• Review questions provide tools to reinforce and apply your knowledge of anatomy and function concepts

• Convenient spiral binding allows for hands-free viewing in the lab setting

• Evolve companion website includes learning features and activities

• NEW! Eight new Venn diagrams have been added to select lab exercises throughout the Laboratory Manual
