Overview

"PRINT LAB MANUAL . Labeling exercises provide opportunities to identify critical structures examined in the lab and lectures. . Coloring exercises offer a popular and effective way for students to grasp the essential spacial relationships of anatomical structures. . Reader-friendly spiral binding allows hands-free viewing in the lab setting. . Dissection of anatomical models and fresh or preserved specimens provide important guidance in getting the student acclimated to the lab environment. The dissection of tissues, organs, and entire organisms helps clarify anatomical and functional relationships. . Physiological experiments centering on functional processes of the human body offer students immediate and exciting examples of physiological concepts. . Optional computerized experiments and dissection activities give students a chance to use cutting-edge methods for observing, measuring, and evaluating important physiological phenomena. . Learning objectives presented at the beginning of each exercise offer a framework for learning. . Content and concept review questions are found throughout the text, encouraging the student to reinforce and apply their knowledge of human structure and function. . 250 illustrations, including common histology slides and depictions of proper procedures, accentuate the text's usefulness within the lab. . Complete lists of materials for each exercise give the students and instructor a thorough checklist for planning and setting up laboratory activities. . 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 of how new technologies are changing and shaping health care. . Boxed hints provide students with special tip on handling specimens, using equipment, and otherwise managing their lab activities. . Easy-to-evaluate Lab Report formats allow instructors to efficiently check student progress or assign grades.ELABS is packaged FREE with the Lab Manual eLabs is presented as a set of lab-based modules, organized by body system, that connects related content from the text and the typical A&P lab course. Each module includes: . Pre-Lab Screencasts and Activities: Introductory screencasts-which are animated streaming videos-take students through the basic concepts and highlight what they are likely to encounter in lab. These are followed by more in-depth screencasts covering specific material in greater detail, helping to organize the information at hand. The screencasts are interspersed with interactive activities that allow students to demonstrate understanding of the content. . Post-Lab Assessments: Post-lab assessments allow students to review the material and receive feedback on the topics they need to focus on during your study and review. The assessments point where they need to look for the correct answer, helping ensure that they master each topic. . Evaluations: A series of evaluations takes users through a discovery of what they know, what they don't know, and where their understanding is incomplete. The evaluations ""mimic"" an actual lab practical as closely as possible so that they will feel more confident going into the exam. eLabs also provides students with supplemental resources to use while studying for their lab practical: . Printable handouts are referenced throughout the screencasts, providing resources such as key term lists, outlines, and tables. . A Glossary provides easy access to definitions of hundreds of anatomy & physiology terms. . A Library of Assets that includes: . Over 300 full-color illustrations, photographs, and micrographs of anatomic structures, physiologic concepts, and disease processes for making learning more visual and engaging. . More than 250 state-of-the-art, full-color animations which clarify anatomic and physiologic processes and provide a realistic graphic foundation of underlying structures and functions, such as pulmonary circulation, events of the cardiac cycle, and sensory and motor pathways of the central nervous system. . Hundreds of interactive exercises using a variety of engaging activities such as Identification, Image Association, Flash Cards, and Sequencing; woven into each lesson to provide immediate feedback and reinforce key concepts."
