Laboratory Manual for Concepts of Human Anatomy and Physiology Fifth Edition
by Kent M. Van De Graaff, Weber State University; Stuart Ira Fox, and Laurence G. Thouin, Jr., both of Pierce College

This two-semester laboratory manual has been revised and completely updated. It is designed primarily to provide laboratory exercises needed to support and enrich lecture material that emphasizes the body system’s approach to undergraduate human anatomy and physiology.

Features

• Each unit begins with an introduction, which provides the student with a boxed inset of all exercise titles contained in that section and another box contains correlations with specific chapters in the textbook.
• Each exercise begins with a short statement of the concept illustrated in the exercise, so that students can immediately perceive the laboratory significance.
• Almost all anatomy figures have been updated and revised to look more realistic. Neatly enclosed in boxes, most of these new figures are interactive–providing key terms and descriptive text along with the figure within the box.
• Procedures are stated in the form of easy-to-follow steps, allowing students to easily execute the experiments.
• Clinical significance boxes appear at selected intervals to provide students with a clinical correlation that reinforces and applies concepts presented in the laboratory exercise.
• The use of CD-ROM computer-assisted instruction programs are discussed as alternatives or as supplements to exercises that may not be feasible to some colleges or universities. Featured are: A.D.A.M. InterActive PHYSIOLOGY Modules, Virtual Physiology Laboratory CD-ROM by WCB/McGraw-Hill and Cypris Publishing, and Intelitool Physiology Laboratory Exercises.
