Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual and E-Labs

Gain the hands-on practice needed to understand anatomical structure and function! Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual and E-Labs, 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 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 Hint 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 Venn diagrams are added to select chapters throughout the Laboratory Manual
