Designed for use in a short anatomy and physiology course, this value-priced lab manual provides 27 labs with a total of 135 concise, activity-based exercises that build students' observational laboratory skills.

A Laboratory Guide to Human Physiology, 13th Edition, is a stand-alone human physiology manual that can be used in conjunction with any human physiology textbook. It includes a wide variety of exercises that support most areas covered in a human physiology course, allowing instructors the flexibility to choose those exercises best suited to meet their particular instructional goals. Background information that is needed to understand the principles and significance of each exercise is presented in a concise manner, so that little or no support is needed from the lecture text.

"Human anatomy and physiology is a complex yet fascinating subject, and is perhaps one of the most personal subjects a student will encounter during his or her education. It is also a subject that can create concern for students because of the sheer volume of material, and the misconception that "it is all about memorization." The study of human anatomy and physiology really comes to life in the anatomy and physiology laboratory, where students get hands-on experience with human cadavers and bones, classroom models, preserved and fresh animal organs, histology slides of human tissues, and explore the process of scientific discovery through physiology experimentation. Yet, most students are at a loss regarding how to approach the anatomy and physiology laboratory. For example, students are often given numerous lists of structures to identify, histology slides to view, and "wet labs" to conduct, but are given comparatively little direction regarding how to recognize structures, or how to relate what they encounter in the laboratory to the material presented in the lecture. In addition, most laboratory manuals on the market contain little more than material repeated from anatomy and physiology textbooks, which provides no real benefit to a student. This laboratory manual takes a very focused approach to the laboratory experience, and provides students with tools to make the subject matter more relevant to their own bodies and to the world around them. Rather than providing a recap of material from classroom lectures and the main textbook for the course, this laboratory manual is much more of an interactive workbook for students: a "how-to" guide to learning human anatomy and physiology through touch, dissection, observation, experimentation, and critical thinking exercises. Students are guided to formulate a hypothesis about each experiment before beginning physiology exercises. Diagrams direct students in how to perform experiments, and don't just show the end results. The text is written in a friendly, conversational tone to put students at ease as they discover, organize, and understand the material presented in each chapter"--

Anatomy & Physiology Revealed (APR) is an interactive human cadaver, fetal pig, and cat dissection tool to enhance lecture and lab that students can use anytime, anywhere. APR contains all the systems covered in A & P and Human Anatomy courses, including Body Orientation, Cells and Chemistry, and Tissues. Animations, rotatable 3D models, dissection, histology, imaging, and quizzing capabilities aid in preparing students for ultimate success. SmartBook 2.0 is the adaptive learning solution that is personalized to individual student needs, continually adapting to pinpoint knowledge gaps and focus learning on concepts requiring additional study. For instructors, SmartBook 2.0 provides greater control over course content and performance data-most importantly, students are better prepared, so instructors can focus on advanced instruction for a more dynamic class experience.
