With 30 exercises covering all body systems, a clear, engaging writing style, and full color illustrations, this updated edition offers students everything needed for a successful lab experience. The Review Sheets, previously found at the end of the lab manual, are now conveniently integrated to follow each exercise. This lab manual features 24 brand new cat dissection photos. The lab manual also has an accompanying Instructor's Guide.

  • Human and cat anatomy dissection photographs/plates.
  • Fully updated "Surface Anatomy Roundup" exercise which focuses on anatomical study done through observation and palpation of the living; it is not cadaveric.
  • The "Organ Systems" dissection exercise, which includes instruction on both rat and human dissection. Color photographs of rat and human dissection views further enhance the exercise.
  • Spiral binding for easy use.

  • Surface anatomy photos are consistent with the new surface anatomy photos in the Fifth Edition of Marieb/Mallatt/Wilhelm's Human Anatomy text. The photos have been enhanced for greater contrast and visibility of surface landmarks.
  • New activities include Demonstrating Actions at the Shoulder Joint in Exercise 12; Testing for Binocular Vision in Exercise 18; Examining the Combined Effects of Smell, Texture, and Temperature on Taste, and Demonstrating Olfactory Adaptation in Exercise 20; Using the Heart Model to Study Cardiac Circulation in Exercise 23
  • Select line drawings in review sheets have been updated to a more realistic style
  • Enhanced art and photo program with 24 new cat dissection photos, newly rendered muscle art, and new cadaver photos to accompany illustrated figures

Elaine N. Marieb began her teaching career at Springfield College, where she taught A&P to physical education majors.  She then joined the faculty of the Biological Science Division of Holyoke Community College with a Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. As a result of her contact with her students at Holyoke Community College, many of whom were pursuing degrees in nursing, she developed a desire to better understand the relationship between the scientific study of the human body and the clinical aspects of nursing practice.  Still teaching 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, along with stories from the field–including those of former students now in health careers–that has informed the development of the unique perspective and accessibility for which her texts and laboratory manuals are known.
