Laboratory Manual For Saladin S Essentials Of Anatomy And Physiology

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.

Written by Eric Wise of Santa Barbara City College, this comprehensive manual contains 41 laboratory exercises that are integrated closely with the Saladin Anatomy and Physiology textbook. Each exercise demonstrates key anatomical and physiological facts and principles presented in Anatomy and Physiology by directing students to investigate specific concepts in greater detail.

This laboratory manual is expressly written to coincide with the chapters of Human Anatomy, 4/e by Kenneth Saladin. This lab manual has clear explanations of anatomy experiments. Other features include a set of review questions at the end of each lab, plus numerous outstanding color photographs and artwork.

"Audience Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology, third edition, is intended for students in associate degree, certification, and careertraining programs; students in high-school advanced placement classes; students who are seeking a general education science class; and those who may not have set foot in a college classroom for many years. The prose and vocabulary in Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology are appropriate to serve this broad spectrum of readers. Keeping in mind that many students are interested in exploring medical professions, a "Career Spotlight" feature has been included in every chapter, and references to further career information are found in appendix B. Theme The goal of this book is to help students succeed. Like climbing a mountain, learning essentials of anatomy and physiology takes place one step at a time, and, similar to the feeling of exhilaration when one has arrived at a mountain peak, there is a powerful sense of achievement upon mastering the knowledge of anatomy and physiology. The mountain-climbing theme is echoed in visual and pedagogical features of the book. A base camp on the first page of each chapter lists key information students need to understand in preparation for navigating the chapter. Throughout the chapter, there are milestones that mark progress, such as the Before You Go On checkpoints with an image of a climber steadily moving upward. The study guide at the end of each chapter features a victorious climber on the summit, a celebration that mirrors the student's mastery of the chapter information. What's New in the Third Edition? The new edition of Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology by Saladin and McFarland has been significantly updated. A hallmark of previous editions, according to both students and reviewers, is the exceptionally clear writing. In this new edition, we continue our commitment to students, with approachable language and relatable examples and analogies. We present current, solid scientific information. We have included numerous updates based on recent, peer-reviewed journal articles, as well as updated clinical examples and disease statistics. We have expanded discussions of health and disease to help students apply concepts of anatomy and physiology to their daily lives"--

Using an approach that is geared toward developing solid, logical habits in dissection and identification, the Laboratory Manual for Anatomy & Physiology, 10th Edition presents a series of 55 exercises for the lab — all in a convenient modular format. The exercises include labeling of anatomy, dissection of anatomic models and fresh or preserved specimens, physiological experiments, and computerized experiments. This practical, full-color manual also includes safety tips, a comprehensive instruction and preparation guide for the laboratory, and tear-out worksheets for each exercise. Updated lab tests align with what is currently in use in today’s lab setting, and brand new histology, dissection, and procedures photos enrich learning. Enhance your laboratory skills in an interactive digital environment with eight simulated lab experiences — eLabs. Eight interactive eLabs further your laboratory experience in an interactive digital environment. Labeling exercises provide opportunities to identify critical structures examined in the lab and lectures; and coloring exercises offer a kinesthetic experience useful in retention of content. User-friendly spiral binding allows for hands-free viewing in the lab setting. Step-by-step 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 relationships. 250 illustrations, including common histology slides and depictions of proper procedures, accentuate the lab manual’s usefulness by providing clear visuals and guidance. Easy-to-evaluate, tear-out Lab Reports contain checklists, drawing exercises, and questions that help you demonstrate your understanding of the labs you have participated in. They also allow instructors to efficiently check student progress or assign grades. Learning objectives presented at the beginning of each exercise offer a straightforward framework for learning. Content and concept review questions throughout the manual provide tools for you to reinforce and apply knowledge of anatomy and function. Complete lists of materials for each exercise give you and your instructor a thorough checklist for planning and setting up laboratory activities, allowing for easy and efficient preparation. Modern 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 care. Boxed hints throughout provide you with special tips on handling specimens, using equipment, and managing lab activities. Evolve site includes activities and features for students, as well as resources for instructors.

This lab manual can be used with Saladin’s Human Anatomy text, or it can be used independently. The illustrations are labeled; therefore, students do not need to bring their lecture texts to the lab. The lab manual can be used in either a one-term or a full-year course. The illustrations are outstanding, and the balanced combination of line art and photographs provides effective coverage of the material. The amount of lecture material in the manual is limited, so there is little material included that is not part of the laboratory experience.
