Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual

Description

Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Manual is designed for students in health-related programs and the fast-paced, 1-semester A&P course. The 27 full-color, hands-on laboratory exercises include the Histology Atlas and offer easy-to-follow activities, checklists of materials, Pre-Lab Quizzes, learning objectives and review sheets. The lab manual is written to compliment Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 13th Edition and can be used with any 1-semester text.

The 8th Edition uses an intuitive design, clarifies lecture concepts, covers terminology and review questions, and streamlines content in tables.

About our authors

Elaine N. Marieb received her Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and joined the faculty of the Biological Science Division of Holyoke Community College. While teaching at Holyoke Community College, where many of her students were pursuing nursing degrees, she developed a desire to better understand the relationship between the scientific study of the human body and the clinical aspects of the nursing practice. To that end, while continuing to teach full time, Dr. Marieb pursued her nursing education, which culminated in a Master of Science degree with a clinical specialization in gerontology from the University of Massachusetts. It is this experience that has informed the development of the unique perspective and accessibility for which her publications are known.

Dr. Marieb has given generously to provide opportunities for students to further their education. She funds the E.N. Marieb Science Research Awards at Mount Holyoke College, which promotes research by undergraduate science majors, and has underwritten renovation of the biology labs in Clapp Laboratory at that college. Dr. Marieb also contributes to the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where she provided funding for reconstruction and instrumentation of a cutting-edge cytology research laboratory. Recognizing the severe national shortage of nursing faculty, she underwrites the Nursing Scholars of the Future Grant Program at the university.

In 2012 and 2017, Dr. Marieb gave generous philanthropic support to Florida Gulf Coast University as a long-term investment in education, research, and training for healthcare and human services professionals in the local community. In honor of her contributions, the university is now home to the Elaine Nicpon Marieb College of Health and Human Services.

Lori A. Smith received her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of California at Davis. Before discovering her passion for teaching, she worked as a research scientist and project leader in the medical diagnostics industry. In 1999, she joined the faculty at American River College in the Biology Department. Currently she teaches anatomy and physiology and microbiology to pre-nursing and mortuary science students at American River College. Starting in 2005, she began co-authoring Pearson’s PhysioEx: Laboratory Simulations in Physiology and has continued to co-author several versions of the software and lab manual. Dr. Smith has been awarded “Instructor of the Year” by the American River College Associated Students for her commitment to serving students, and she is a member of the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) and the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT)

For 1-semester courses in A&P lab.

A brief, student-friendly lab manual

Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Manual is designed for students in health-related programs and the fast-paced, 1-semester A&P course. The 27 full-color, hands-on laboratory exercises include the Histology Atlas and easy-to-follow activities, checklists of materials, Pre-Lab Quizzes, learning objectives and review sheets. The lab manual is written to compliment Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology and can be used with any 1-semester text.

The 8th Edition uses an intuitive design, clarifies lecture concepts, covers terminology and review questions, and streamlines content in tables.

Hallmark features of this title

• Histology and isolated organ specimen photos supplement the diagrams.
• The Histology Atlas features 55 histology photomicrographs, and students are referred to relevant photos in the Atlas throughout the manual.
• Body structures are presented from simple to complex and allow ample opportunity for student observation, manipulation, and experimentation.
• All exercises involving body fluids (blood, saliva, etc.) incorporate current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for handling body fluids. A safety icon alerts students to observe special precautions.
• Learning objectives precede key passages in each exercise to focus the student’s attention on the important lessons to “take home” from the exercise.

New and additional features of this title

• NEW: 27 Mastering A&P prebuilt lab assignments from the lab manual are available in the Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology lecture course, allowing instructors to assign in both courses
• Tear-out review sheets and in-exercise questions are closely aligned with the content in the lab exercises.
• Intuitive full-color design makes it easy for learners to differentiate big picture concepts and learning objectives from supporting details. Large, full-color illustrations highlight and differentiate important structures and help students recognize important structure/function relationships.
• Each exercise is preceded by a list of materials needed for conducting the lab activities, followed by brief directives to help students prepare for the lab experience.
• Key terms appear in boldface print, and each term is defined when introduced.
• Histology lessons provide instructor-set-up-slides for demonstration areas and student viewing so students don’t have to spend time finding the “right” section. These, plus the physiology experiments, can be conducted in limited time periods with inexpensive, widely available equipment and supplies.
