Anatomy and Physiology / Edition 3

by Elaine Nicpon Marieb, Katja Hoehn

Overview

Key Benefit: This full-color laboratory manual is designed for those who teach a two-semester introductory anatomy & physiology course, but do 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 book, it will be most effectively used with Marieb’s Anatomy & Physiology, Fourth Edition. Readers will find 27 concise, activity-based lab exercises that explore basic concepts in anatomy & physiology. For those who want their readers to experience using a microscope, a complete exercise on its use and care can be found in Appendix A. Each lab is presented with learning objectives, cogent summaries of key concepts, and meaningful activities that build readers’ 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.

Key Topics: The Language of Anatomy, Organ Systems Overview, The Cell - Anatomy and Division, Cell Membrane Transport Mechanisms, Classification of Tissues, The Skin (Integumentary System), Overview of the Skeleton, The Axial Skeleton, The Appendicular Skeleton, Microscopic Anatomy and Organization of Skeletal Muscle, Structure of Skeletal Muscle, Gross Anatomy of the Muscular System, Neuron Anatomy and Physiology, Gross Anatomy of the Brain and Cranial Nerves, Spinal Cord and Spinal Nerves, Human Reflex Physiology, The Special Senses, Functional Anatomy of the Endocrine Glands, Blood, Anatomy of the Heart, Anatomy of Blood Vessels, Human Cardiovascular Physiology–Blood Pressure and Pulse Determinations, Anatomy of the Respiratory System, Respiratory System Physiology, Functional Anatomy of the Digestive System, Functional Anatomy of the Urinary System, Anatomy of the Reproductive System

Market Description: For those interested in a laboratory practices for anatomy & physiology

About the Author

Elaine N. Marieb began her teaching career at Springfield College, where she taught A&P to physical education majors.  She then joined the faculty of the Biological Science Division of Holyoke Community College with a Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. As a result of her contact with her students at Holyoke Community College, many of whom were pursuing degrees in nursing, she developed a desire to better understand the relationship between the scientific study of the human body and the clinical aspects of nursing practice.  Still teaching full-time, Dr. Marieb pursued her nursing education, which culminated in a Master of Science degree with a clinical specialization in gerontology from the University of Massachusetts.  It is this experience, along with stories from the field—including those of former students now in health careers—that has informed the development of the unique perspective and accessibility for which her texts and laboratory manuals are known.
