Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual and E-Labs

Covers dissection of the cat, fetal pig and mink in this edition. New photos of mink dissections provide more options for learning activities in the lab Includes different types of bones to help students learn skeletal anatomy Updated lab tests align with what is currently in use in today’s lab environment More microscope slide images, including “zooming in” at high-power magnification, help students learn microscopic anatomy All chapters thoroughly cover the latest anatomy and physiology lab exercises Eight interactive eLabs improve laboratory experience in an interactive digital environment Labeling exercises provide opportunities to identify critical structures examined in the lab and lectures Coloring exercises offer a fun and relaxing kinesthetic experience useful in retention of content User-friendly spiral binding allows for hands-free viewing in the lab setting Step-by-step “check-box” dissection instructions with accompanying illustrations and photos cover anatomical models and fresh or preserved specimens - and provide needed guidance during dissection labs. The dissection of tissues, organs, and entire organisms clarifies anatomical and functional relationships 250 illustrations, including common histology slides and depictions of proper procedures, accentuate the lab manual’s usefulness by providing clear visuals and guidance Easy-to-evaluate, tear-out Lab Reports contain checklists, drawing exercises, and questions that help demonstrate understanding of the labs students have participated in. Reports also allow instructors to efficiently check student progress or assign grades Learning objectives presented at the beginning of each exercise offer a straightforward framework for learning Content and concept review questions throughout the manual provide tools to reinforce and apply knowledge of anatomy and function Complete lists of materials for each exercise give students and instructors a thorough checklist for planning and setting up laboratory activities, allowing for easy and efficient preparation Modern anatomical imaging techniques, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasonography, are introduced where appropriate to give future health professionals a taste for - and awareness of - how new technologies are changing and shaping health care Boxed hints throughout provide special tips on handling specimens, using equipment, and managing lab activities Evolve site includes activities and features for students, as well as resources for instructors
