This laboratory manual presents the structure of the human body by subdividing it into individual body systems, guiding students through a series of dissection activities for use in the lab accompanied by full color photos and figures. The functional anatomy of each level of organization is studied from the microscopic level of organization to the gross (macroscopic) level. In addition, the embryological development of each body system and selected pathologies are examined. This manual studies anatomy of the human specimen in particular, but the cat and isolated animal organs are used in the dissection experiments.

This top-selling laboratory manual follows a body-systems approach and is compatible with any introductory anatomy and physiology book. It features comprehensive coverage of all structures, extensive use of the scientific method, and full-color illustrations and photographs. Reader-friendly writing and streamlined organization make this manual a successful learning tool. Some of the topics covered include evaluations of cells and tissues, chemical reactions, examinations of organs and systems, and interpreting and applying results. For college instructors, students, pre-professionals and readers interested in human and animal anatomy and physiology.

Authors Cynthia Prentice-Craver and Terry Martin combine passion for and experience teaching human anatomy and physiology with a commitment to developing curricula that stimulates student curiosity and enthusiasm, which results in a laboratory manual with an innovative, hands-on approach. The Laboratory Manual for Human Anatomy & Physiology includes 63 laboratory exercises, three supplemental labs found online, six cat dissection labs, six fetal pig dissection labs, 46 Virtual Lab lessons, and 13 Physiology Interactive Lab Simulations (PhILS) lessons. Designed to work well with any anatomy and physiology text, this updated fifth edition of the lab manual incorporates learning outcomes and assessments to help students master important material. A clear, concise writing style facilitates more thorough understanding of lab exercises.
