Human Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Manual, Fetal Pig Dissection, 1/e
by Terry R. Martin, Kishwaukee College

This laboratory manual was prepared to be used with any human anatomy and physiology textbook. The major dissection specimen is the fetal pig.

The laboratory manual contains sixty-two laboratory exercises and reports. The exercises are planned to illustrate and review anatomical and physiological facts and principles presented in a textbook and to help students investigate some of these ideas in greater detail.

Often the laboratory exercises are short or are divided into several separate procedures. This allows an instructor to select those exercises or parts of exercises that will best meet the needs of a particular program. Also, exercises requiring a minimal amount of laboratory equipment have been included.

The laboratory exercises include a variety of special features that are designed to stimulate interest in the subject matter, to involve students in the learning process, and to guide them through the planned activities. These special features include the following:

Features

Safety Guidelines are listed inside the front cover and safety sections are found throughout the labs.
A "Materials Needed" section is located at the beginning of each laboratory exercise to enable greater ease in laboratory preparations.
A section entitled "Study Skills for Anatomy and Physiology" is located in the front material, and was written by students in a human anatomy and physiology course.
Appropriate labs are correlated to the Virtual Physiology Lab CD-ROM.
Web Quest activities are found at the end of most exercises. These links help students discover the answers to many scientific questions. http://www.mhhe.com/biosci/abio/martinlmwq.mhtml

Critical thinking applications are included within most of the laboratory exercises to enhance valuable critical thinking skills that students need throughout their lives.
A metric measurement and conversion table is included inside the back cover of the laboratory manual for easy reference.
