Designed for use in introductory one-semester anatomy and physiology laboratory courses, this new lab manual has been thoughtfully developed to reflect the scope and pace of the essentials-level course. While it complements any one-semester anatomy and physiology text, it will be most effectively used with Marieb's own Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology, Sixth Edition. Author of best-selling laboratory manuals for the two-semester course, Elaine Marieb offers 27 concise, activity-based lab exercises that explore basic concepts in anatomy and physiology. Each lab is presented with learning objectives, exceptionally cogent summaries of key concepts, and meaningful activities that build students' observational and laboratory skills.
