Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual and E-Labs Elsevier eBook on VitalSource, 12th Edition

• NEW! Eight new Venn diagrams have been added to select lab exercises throughout the Laboratory Manual
• Step-by-step “check-box” dissection instructions with accompanying illustrations and photos cover anatomical models and fresh or preserved specimens — and provide helpful guidance during dissection labs
• 250 illustrations include microscopic and common histology slides, photos of cat, pig, and mink dissections, photos of various bones, and depictions of proper procedures
• Eight interactive eLab modules provide a realistic laboratory experience in an interactive digital environment
• Complete lists of materials for each exercise provide handy checklists for planning and setting up laboratory activities, allowing for easy and efficient preparation
• Modern anatomical imaging techniques are introduced, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasonography, and challenge students to interpret actual images of the human body
• Images of microscopic anatomy include “zooming in” to microscope slide images at high-power magnification
• Easy-to-evaluate, tear-out Lab Reports contain checklists, drawing exercises, and questions that help demonstrate understanding of the labs students have participated in, and also allow instructors to efficiently check student progress or assign grades
• Labeling exercises and coloring exercises make it easier to identify and remember critical structures examined in the lab and in lectures
• Learning objectives at the beginning of each exercise offer a clear framework for learning
• Hint boxes provide special tips on handling specimens, using equipment, and managing lab activities
• Review questions provide students with the tools to reinforce and apply their knowledge of anatomy and function concepts
• Convenient spiral binding allows for hands-free viewing in the lab setting
• Evolve companion website includes learning activities and features for students, as well as lab preparation resources for instructors
