[Ebook PDF] Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Manual, 7th Edition

For one-semester courses in A&P Lab.

 A Brief, Student-Friendly Lab Manual for One-Semester A&P–Now in Full Color

Developed especially for a fast-paced, one-semester A&P course, Elaine Marieb and Pamela Jackson’s Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Manual, 7th Edition provides 27 full-color, hands-on laboratory exercises, along with a built-in Histology Atlas. The Lab Manual can accompany any one-semester A&P text, but it is most effectively paired with Marieb and Keller’s Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 12th Edition. Each lab exercise consists of a variety of easy-to-follow activities, all supported by a checklist of materials, a Pre-Lab Quiz, background information, learning objectives, and tear-out review sheets.

The black and white figures in previous editions are now in full-color, and the 7th Edition further expands on its student-friendly writing style with updated terminology and review questions, streamlined content presented in tables, and a new, more intuitive design.

PREFACE

Students in particular health-related programs, such as LPN, medical records, and dental technician programs, typically encounter a fast-paced anatomy and physiology course that leaves little time for laboratory study, and yet handson laboratory experiences are highly desirable to clarify the lecture. This challenge provided the impetus for writing this brief laboratory manual, meant to be used in short A&P lab courses.
Basic Pedagogical Approach
The Seventh Edition offers a variety of lab activities that give the instructor flexibility to choose which ones will best supplement the topics that are taught in lecture. While it is based on the concepts and terminology in Elaine Marieb and Suzanne Keller’s Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, Twelfth Edition, text, this manual is a standalone resource that can complement any textbook. Each
activity is preceded by pertinent background information so that students will not need to carry their textbooks to lab.
Although length and content have been rigorously controlled, the 27 exercises in this manual still provide fairly complete coverage of the most common topics of human anatomy and physiology. The manual also includes a complete exercise on microscope care and use (see Appendix A).
Pedagogy and Special Features
1. Each exercise is preceded by a list of materials needed for conducting the lab activities, followed by brief directives to help students prepare for the lab experience.
2. Key terms appear in boldface print, and each term is defined when introduced.
3. Learning objectives precede key passages in each exercise to focus the student’s attention on the important lessons to “take home” from the exercise.
4. Large illustrations, now in full color, highlight and differentiate important structures and help students recognize important structure/function relationships.
5. Histology and isolated organ specimen photos supplement the diagrams, where useful.
6. The Histology Atlas features 55 histology photomicrographs, and students are referred to relevant photos in the Atlas throughout the manual.
7. Body structures are presented from simple to complex and allow ample opportunity for student observation, manipulation, and experimentation. Histology lessons will be facilitated by instructor-set-up-slides at demonstration areas for student viewing so students don’t have to spend time finding the “right” section. These, along with physiology experiments, can be conducted in limited time periods and with inexpensive, widely available equipment and supplies.
8. All exercises involving body fluids (blood, saliva, etc.) incorporate current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for handling body fluids. A safety icon alerts students to observe special precautions.
9. An Instructor’s Guide can be downloaded from the “Instructor Resources” area of MasteringA&P for Marieb and Keller, Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, Twelfth Edition. Prepared by co-author Pamela Jackson, the Guide provides answers to activity and review sheet questions along with helpful teaching suggestions for the lab.
New to the Seventh Edition
• All of the black and white figures in previous editions are now in full-color, making it easier than ever for students and instructors to quickly and easily identify structures.
• Improved tear-out review sheets and in-exercise questions are more closely aligned with the content in the lab exercises.
• Updated terminology and streamlined content makes selected content more accessible for today’s students.
• New, full-color design is more intuitive, making it easier for learners to differentiate “big picture” concepts and learning objectives from supporting details.
