Thoroughly updated throughout, and now incorporating a full color design and art program, the ninth edition of A Laboratory Textbook of Anatomy and Physiology provides students with an accessible, comprehensive introduction to A&P. It is specifically designed for the laboratory portion of a one- or two-term course in anatomy and physiology for students planning a health science, allied health, or health-related career. The texts 15 integrated units use the cat as the dissection animal, while also emphasizing the human anatomy. This classic text is a proven must-have resource and learning tool for the A&P lab!
This lab manual is designed for the second semester of a two-semester Anatomy and Physiology sequence, and like its counterpart in the Anatomy and Physiology I Lab Manual, it is specifically tailored for students planning to enter health-related or athletically-related professions. Topics include: the nervous system, reflexes, the cardiovascular system, muscle physiology, general and special senses, the respiratory system, sexually transmitted infections and basic genetics. Numerous full color photos through-out the manual assist students in identification of laboratory specimens and completion of various laboratory exercises. A unique aspect to this Anatomy and Physiology lab manual is the integration of ?Clinical Applications? in each chapter, which apply content under study to ?real-life? situations. Clinical application topics include pathophysiology, as well as other, non-pathology related topics which still have clinical significance. These sections often provide the answers to the ?So What?, Who Cares?, or Why is this important? questions students often ask when learning the concepts and details of anatomy. Additionally, a number of personal stories are included in the clinical applications or the introductory sections of various chapters. All of these personal stories are true; most were written by the individual who expererienced the events described, and they generally put a more personal ?spin? on the disorders described. Each chapter has clearly written lab activities, including step by step instructions, diagrams and photos, and background content needed to allow students to fully understand the concepts explored in lab. Activities encourage hands-on exploration and active learning. Each chapter includes integrated tear out pre-lab activities to prepare students for lab as well as review pages to be completed following the lab. Many of these assignments require application of content to various clinical situations and are designed to stimulate critical thinking skills and creative problem solving. The design of this lab manual incorporates the authors? beliefs that the use of many senses when learning (hearing, seeing, touching, etc.) engages more areas of the brain, increasing brain activity and enhancing learning. Thus, all lab activities involve using a variety of senses to enhance learning for all types of learners. 442 pages.
The McFarland/Wise: Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual is intended for the one-semester A&P Laboratory course, which is often taken by allied health students. It may be used with the Saladin/McFarland: Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology textbook, or as stand-alone essentials of anatomy & physiology manual in conjunction with any one-semester A&P textbook. This full-color manual is designed for students with minimal backgrounds in science who are pursuing careers in allied health fields. It includes 25 exercises that support most areas covered in a one-semester A&P course, allowing instructors the flexibility to choose those exercises best suited to meet their particular instructional goals. Each exercise is based on established Learning Outcomes and contains hands-on activities with the essentials-level student in mind.
