Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lab manual designed for the first semester of a two-semester Anatomy and Physiology sequence, and is specifically tailored for students planning to enter health-related or athletically-related professions. Topics include basic microscopy, anatomical terminology, tissues, and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and circulatory systems. Numerous full color photos throughout the manual assist the student in identification of various laboratory specimens and completion of various laboratory exercises. SynDaver (synthetic cadaver) dissection instructions and photos are included and extensive, including SynDaver muscles, internal organs, vessels, and nerves. Human surface anatomy, with descriptions as well as photos of various surface anatomy features, is incorporated throughout the text. To enhance learning for all types of learners, activities offer experiences for visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning A unique aspect to this lab manual is the integration of ?Clinical Applications? in each chapter, which apply content under study to ?real-life? situations. Many of these topics are disease-related, but there are others which are not associated with disease yet still have clinical significance. These sections often provide the answers to the ?So What?, Who Cares?, or Why is this important? questions students often ask themselves (or others) when learning the concepts and details of anatomy. Additionally, a number of personal stories are included in the introductory sections of several chapters. All of these personal stories are true; most were written by the individual who expererinced the events described, and they generally put a more personal ?spin? on the disorders described. Each chapter has clearly written lab activities, including step by step instructions, diagrams, and background content needed to allow students to fully understand the concepts explored in lab. Activities encourage hands-on exploration and active learning. The book is loaded with full color art and each chapter includes integrated tear out pre-lab activities to help students prepare for lab, as well as review pages to be completed after lab. Many of these assignments require application of content to various clinical situations and are designed to stimulate critical thinking skills and creative problem solving. 508 pages.
