This concise lab manual is designed for instructors who wish to avoid “cookbook”-style lab instruction for Anatomy & Physiology.  Each of the exercises in Laboratory Investigations in Anatomy & Physiology provides useful background information for completing the exercise without duplicating information that can be found in the students’ A&P textbook. Through the use of an engaging “connective learning” methodology, author Stephen Sarikas builds each lab exercise step  on the previous one,  helping students to understand complex ideas and make connections between concepts.   By consistently emphasizing the relationship between structure and function, the author challenges students to ask questions and interpret what they experience in the lab.

  • Questions to Consider follow almost every activity within a lab exercise, prompting students to think more deeply about the concepts they have just explored.
  • Clinical Correlations boxesappear in nearly every lab exercise, offering students real-world applications of the knowledge they are gaining in the lab.  
  • What’s in a Word boxes provide the linguistic background of selected terms in anatomy and physiology to help students learn and remember them..
  • Form a Hypothesis…Assess the Outcome is an occasional feature that encourages students to apply the scientific method, think critically about their lab work, and evaluate the validity of their hypotheses.
  • Review Sheets conclude each exercise with a variety of matching, labeling, coloring-book, and short-answer questions for review and evaluation.
  • An outstanding art program includes biomedical photographs by Ralph Hutchings with coordinated illustrations by renowned artists Bill Ober and Claire  Garrison, providing students with compound art to better view and understand anatomy. Numerous histology micrographs by Robert Tallitsch help students learn about tissues. 
  • The Cat version contains an additional ten cat dissection exercises encompassing the major body systems. The cat dissection photos, created through an exclusive collaboration with Shawn Miller and Mark Nielsen — the anatomy field’s premier dissector/photographer duo, at the University of Utah — are paired with Ober & Garrison illustrations that expertly match the orientation and detail of the dissection photos to help students learn the anatomy.
