Designed for use in introductory one-semester anatomy and physiology laboratory courses, this new lab manual has been thoughtfully developed to reflect the scope and pace of the essentials-level course. While it complements any one-semester anatomy and physiology text, it will be most effectively used with Marieb's own Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology, Sixth Edition. Author of best-selling laboratory manuals for the two-semester course, Elaine Marieb offers 27 concise, activity-based lab exercises that explore basic concepts in anatomy and physiology. Each lab is presented with learning objectives, exceptionally cogent summaries of key concepts, and meaningful activities that build students' observational and laboratory skills.

  • A generous selection of exercises and activities satisfies the individual needs of both instructors and students.
  • Clear instructions and well-planned lab procedures allow instructors to concentrate on science and concepts rather than on preparation.
  • Large, high-quality one-color illustrations highlight and differentiate important structures and processes.
  • Tear-out review sheets for each lab enable students to hand in lab assignments so instructors can monitor their work. Review sheets provide space for such activities as recording and interpreting experimental results, labeling diagrams, and answering objective questions.
