Gain the hands-on practice needed to understand anatomical structure and function! (Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual and eLabs, 11th 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 3-D environment. From noted educators Kevin Patton and Frank Bell, this laboratory manual provides you with a better understanding of the human body and how it works.
- (Labeling exercises )(and coloring exercises) make it easier to identify and remember critical structures examined in the lab and in lectures
- (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
- (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 check your progress
- (250 illustrations) include photos of cat, pig, and mink dissections, photos of various bones, microscopic and common histology slides, and depictions of proper procedures
- (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), such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasonography, are introduced to demonstrate how new technologies are changing and shaping health care
- (Review questions )throughout the manual provide tools to reinforce and apply your knowledge of anatomy and function concepts
- (Eight eLabs improve the laboratory experience in an interactive digital environment.)
- (Convenient spiral binding )allows for hands-free viewing in the lab setting
- (Hint boxes )provide special tips on handling specimens, using equipment, and managing lab activities
- (Learning objectives) at the beginning of each exercise offer a clear framework for learning
- (NEW!) (More photos of various types of bones) help you learn skeletal anatomy.
- (NEW!) (More microscope slide images), including "zooming in" at high-power magnification, help you learn microscopic anatomy
- (NEW!) (Updated lab tests )align with what is currently in use in today’s lab environment
- (NEW!) (Thorough revision of all chapters )covers the latest anatomy and physiology lab exercises
