Covers dissection of the cat, fetal pig and mink in this edition. New photos of mink dissections provide more options for learning activities in the labIncludes different types of bones to help students learn skeletal anatomyUpdated lab tests align with what is currently in use in today’s lab environmentMore microscope slide images, including “zooming in” at high-power magnification, help students learn microscopic anatomyAll chapters thoroughly cover the latest anatomy and physiology lab exercisesEight interactive eLabs improve laboratory experience in an interactive digital environmentLabeling exercises provide opportunities to identify critical structures examined in the lab and lecturesColoring exercises offer a fun and relaxing kinesthetic experience useful in retention of contentUser-friendly spiral binding allows for hands-free viewing in the lab settingStep-by-step “check-box” dissection instructions with accompanying illustrations and photos cover anatomical models and fresh or preserved specimens - and provide needed guidance during dissection labs. The dissection of tissues, organs, and entire organisms clarifies anatomical and functional relationships250 illustrations, including common histology slides and depictions of proper procedures, accentuate the lab manual’s usefulness by providing clear visuals and guidanceEasy-to-evaluate, tear-out Lab Reports contain checklists, drawing exercises, and questions that help demonstrate understanding of the labs students have participated in. Reports also allow instructors to efficiently check student progress or assign gradesLearning objectives presented at the beginning of each exercise offer a straightforward framework for learningContent and concept review questions throughout the manual provide tools to reinforce and apply knowledge of anatomy and functionComplete lists of materials for each exercise give students and instructors a thorough checklist for planning and setting up laboratory activities, allowing for easy and efficient preparationModern anatomical imaging techniques, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasonography, are introduced where appropriate to give future health professionals a taste for - and awareness of - how new technologies are changing and shaping health careBoxed hints throughout provide special tips on handling specimens, using equipment, and managing lab activitiesEvolve site includes activities and features for students, as well as resources for instructors
