Main description:

Known for its clear language, logical organization, and range of exercises, this versatile manual covers all the material needed for a one-semester laboratory course and can be used with any text. Over 90 exercises are organized into 22 chapters that are suitable for a two- or three-hour lab period. This revision retains Tharp/Woodman,s simple, clear artwork, challenging lab report questions, and strong technology integration-including PowerLab, Vernier, and PhysioEx. Now spiral-bound for ease of use, the Tenth Edition increases focus on clinical applications and critical thinking questions.
