This item has been upgraded to Human Anatomy and Physiology Lab Manual, Main Version, 8/E .

Elaine Marieb's clearly written and comprehensive lab manuals have been thoroughly revised with new and updated content. Guiding students through well-planned lab activities, these new editions feature new illustrations and full-color photographs that help students visualize and master lab concepts.

Incorporating the best new technology available for A&P labs, PowerLab® procedures have been added to selected exercises so students can practice with computerized data compilation techniques. Plus, two new laboratory simulations have been added to the popular PhysioEx™ 3.0 program now available on CD-ROM or via the Web.

Designed to stand-alone or use with other materials, each manual contains anatomical and physiological terminology essential for use in one- or two-semester A&P courses.


  • NEW - NEW! Illustrations and photos from Marieb's Human Anatomy and Physiology , Fifth Edition help students visualize anatomical and physiological concepts.
  • NEW - NEW! PowerLab® Procedures. Recognizing the increase of computerized data compilation in the laboratory, PowerLab® procedures have been added to selected exercises, including measurement of electrical potential (EKG), nerve impulses, distraction response time, and breathing patterns.
  • NEW - NEW! Biopac® Student Lab System procedures for exercises involving electrocardiography, pulse, respiratory cycle, reaction time, frog gastrocnemius muscle, frog sciatic nerve, and frog heart are available in the Instructor's Guide.
  • NEW - NEW! Rat dissection instruction has been restored with full-color dissection photos.
  • NEW - NEW! Designed to demonstrate complex physiological procedures in a safe electronic environment, PhysioEx™ V 3.0 is available in CD-ROM format or via the Web at www.physioex.com. Two new labs, “Nerve Impulse Physiology” and “Endocrine Systems Physiology” have been added. A revised digestive system simulation allows students to repeat experiments and change parameters.
  • NEW - NEW! An activity on the stereomicroscope has been included in Exercise 3, “The Microscope.”
  • NEW - NEW! Clay model dissection activities allow students to practice making incisions before beginning actual dissections.
  • NEW - NEW! Palpation activities have been added to various exercises.
  • NEW - NEW! Five new photomicrographs have been added to the 62-plate Histology Atlas.
  • NEW - NEW! Two new plates in Human Anatomy Atlas offer photographs of the pectoral girdle and the right upper and lower limbs.
  • NEW - NEW! Several charts have been inserted for collection and organization of data.
  • NEW - NEW! Exercise 6, “Classification of Tissues” has an additional activity, “Constructing a Concept Map of Tissues.”
  • REVISED! Several charts and tables have been enhanced with illustrations.
  • REVISED! “Getting Started ” now includes a template exemplifying the format and content needed in student lab reports.
  • REVISED! Improved accuracy and precision, updated terminology, and refined instructions on observation and critical thinking skills throughout.
  • An A.D.A.M.® Interactive Anatomy (AIA) appendix correlates selected anatomical lab observations with corresponding sections in AIA, and icons highlight where material covered in a lab exercise is also found in AIA.
  • Dissection icons clearly indicate the beginning and end of a dissection activity.
  • Homeostasis icons highlight clinical materials that reinforce the concept of disease as loss of homeostatic balance.
  • Safety guidelines printed on the inside front cover and safety icons throughout the text alert students to the need for protective precautions.
  • Center for Disease Control guidelines included for exercises involving body fluids.
