Full Description
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 new Venn diagrams have been added to select lab exercises throughout the Laboratory Manual
