NOTE: This edition features the same content as the traditional text in a convenient, three-hole-punched, loose-leaf version. Books a la Carte also offer a great value; this format costs significantly less than a new textbook. Before purchasing, check with your instructor or review your course syllabus to ensure that you select the correct ISBN. Several versions of MyLab^™ and Mastering^™ platforms exist for each title, including customized versions for individual schools, and registrations are not transferable. In addition, you may need a Course ID, provided by your instructor, to register for and use MyLab and Mastering products.

For the two-semester A&P lab course.

Practical, active learning exercises with a visual approach

Visual Anatomy & Physiology Lab Manual (Stephen Sarikas) brings all of the strengths of the revolutionary Visual Anatomy & Physiology textbook (Martini/Ober/Nath/Bartholomew/Petti) to the lab. The 2nd Edition builds upon the visual approach and modular organization with new features to better prepare students for lab, maximize their learning, and reinforce important concepts. With an emphasis on clear, easy to follow figures (from the Martini Visual A&P text),frequent practice, and helping students make connections, the manual provides students with the powerful tools they need to excel.

The two-page lab activity modules seamlessly integrate text and visuals to guide students through lab activities—with no page flipping. Lab practice consists of hands-on activities and assignable content in Mastering^™ A&P, including new pre-lab quizzes, Review Sheets, and virtual lab study tools.

Also available with Mastering A&P

Mastering^™ A&P is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to engage students and improve results. Instructors ensure that students arrive ready to learn in lab by assigning content before class, and encourage critical thinking and retention with in-class resources such as Learning Catalytics^™. Students can further master concepts after class through assignments that provide hints and answer-specific feedback. With a wide range of activities available, students can actively learn, understand, and retain even the most difficult concepts.

Stephen N. Sarikas received his Ph.D. in Anatomy from Boston University School of Medicine. He is Professor of Biology at Lasell College in Newton, Massachusetts, where he teaches A&P lecture (using the Visual A&P textbook) and lab in addition to other science courses. Sarikas is also the author of Laboratory Investigations in A&P 2e, a two-semester A&P lab manual published by Pearson. His experience writing that lab manual and working with the Martini illustration team continues to be a strong foundation for his work on Martini lab manuals.
