Designed for use in introductory one-semester anatomy and physiology laboratory courses, this 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 is most effectively used with Marieb's Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology, Seventh 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. This revised edition includes a four-color histology atlas, an overview of safety in the lab, and a complete microscope exercise in the appendix. Each lab is presented with learning objectives, cogent summaries of key concepts, and meaningful activities that build students' observational and laboratory skills.
