Main description:

This full-color laboratory manual is designed for a two-semester introductory anatomy & physiology course that does not require the full range of laboratory exercises found in Marieb,s best-selling Human Anatomy & Physiology Lab Manuals (Cat, Fetal Pig, and Main). Though this lab manual can be used with any two-semester text, it will be most effectively used with Marieb,s Anatomy & Physiology, Fourth Edition. Each lab is presented with learning objectives, cogent summaries of key concepts, and meaningful activities. These labs build your observational and laboratory skills. Review sheets are now integrated to conveniently follow each lab exercise. The lab manual also features a full-color, extensive Histology Atlas.
