Succinctly describes the steps of dissection and identification of the dissected structures in a single volume.

This manual is a comprehensive guide to the dissection of different parts of the human anatomy. Beginning with an introduction to anatomical terminology, the book navigates step by step through different parts of the anatomy - upper limbs, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, lower limb, head and neck, and central nervous system. More than 400 illustrations depict every dissection.

A comprehensive manual of anatomical dissection, this title provides in-depth and detailed explanations for each dissection, enabling students to self-teach. It correlates surface anatomy to anatomical structures revealed in the dissections, which is important for clinical correlation.

"Dissection Simplified" is a set of worksheets designed to teach students how to learn anatomy and complete dissections even when an instructor is not available to answer questions. The manual helps students understand how to complete the steps in a dissection using the cat as a model for major body systems. The language and tone are student-friendly and free of unnecessary technical information, focusing instead on supporting students, and walking them through the process of the lab exercise as they work independently. "Dissection Simplified" also addresses common problems students experience when completing dissections, such as finding specific muscles when they are not immediately visible, knowing when a dissection exercise is truly complete, and successfully preparing for examinations on dissection. "Dissection Simplified" is an effective companion lab manual to standard anatomy textbooks. It can be used in lower division general human anatomy courses at universities and community colleges. It may also be suitable for high school anatomy classes which use cat dissections to study non-modeled body systems.
