Summary

Develop your skills in dissection and identification with 55 different exercises for the lab. Featuring full-color examples of commonly encountered histology and dissection specimens, this laboratory manual is a perfect sample portfolio of different styles to emulate and expand on while learning body systems and their functions. Exercises include labeling of anatomy, dissection of anatomic models and fresh or preserved specimens, physiological experiments, and computerized experiments. Labeling exercises provide opportunities to identify critical structures examined in the lab and lectures. Reader-friendly spiral binding allows for hands-free viewing in the lab setting. Step-by-step guidance for dissection of anatomical models and fresh or preserved specimens, with accompanying illustrations helps you become acclimated to the lab environment. Physiological experiments centering on functional processes of the human body offer immediate and exciting examples of physiological concepts. Content and concept review questions located throughout the manual reinforce your knowledge of anatomy and function. 250 illustrations, including common histology slides and depictions of proper procedures, provide clear visuals and guidance. Modern anatomical imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasonography are introduced where appropriate. Easy-to-evaluate lab report can be torn out of spiral-bound manual and turned in to instructors. Revised art program features fresh visuals and design elements that reflect the new edition of Patton's Anatomy and Physiology. Revised and updated activities keep the manual current and ensure a strong connection with the new edition of the A&P textbook. NEW! Study Tips boxes provide beneficial insights about A&P topics in and outside the lab.
