Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory ManualOctober 2003, ©2004
 |
This interactive manual presents lab activities in a clear, concise, and student-friendly writing style. It contains activities and experiments that enhance students' ability to both visualize anatomical structures and understand physiological topics. Lab exercises require students to first apply information they learn and then critically evaluate it. The manual is written to not only complement the new edition of Tortora & Grabowski's Introduction to the Human Body, Sixth Edition, but to work effectively with any of the leading essentials textbooks.

Index.
- Brevity and Conciseness of Text. This lab manual covers the maximum amount of material in the briefest and most hands-on way. Topics that are not covered in the one semester course have been omitted, and descriptive text is kept to a minimum.
- Self-contained Lab Exercises. All pedagogical features are complete for each Exercise, including the "Reviewing Your Knowledge" Lab Reports. vVariety of Questions and Activities. The manual includes fill-in-the blank, art labeling, coloring, identification exercises, and thought-provoking Critical Thinking Questions that summarize concepts learned in that lab.
- Illustration Program. Many of the figures are picked up from Tortora & Grabowski's Introduction to the Human Body 6e. Labels are removed from most figures for exercises and activities, other figures are revised into a coloring-book style format for coloring exercises.
- Answer Key. Includes answers to in-lab activities and Reviewing Your Knowledge Lab reports for self-grading.

"This lab provided my students with a wealth of information. I really appreciated the fact that the information was not to far above their heads and easy to read. It reinforced exactly what I teach on the cardiac system. Thanks."

"Your drawings are exceedingly clear and the exercises very appropriate. I especially like the muscle groupings with important information about each in one location."
