About this title

Synopsis

This lab manual is designed for A&P lab courses that utilize the pig as the primary dissection specimen. Human Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Manual--Fetal Pig Dissection offers excellent, full color dissection photos of the fetal pig with matching corresponding labeled art. Web site activities found in numerous labs give students additional resources for learning. This laboratory manual contains sixty-two laboratory exercises and reports. The exercises illustrate and review anatomical and physiological facts and principles presented in an A&P textbook and help students investigate these ideas in greater detail.

From the Publisher

Full-color fetal pig dissection photos are enhanced with corresponding illustrations.
This laboratory manual may be customized.
The labs within this manual emphasize the scientific method by involving students in the process of science, rather than the traditional "cookbook" approach to lab exercises. Exercise One walks students through the scientific method, thereby setting the tone for the remaing exercises.
A "Materials Needed" list can be found at the beginnig of each exercise.
Additional pedagogical features include:
-safety guidelines found on the inside front cover
-learning objectives included for each exercise
-instead of being grouped at the back of hte manual, laboratory reports follow each exercise for ease of use
The Virtual Physiology Lab CD-ROM can be packaged FREE with this new lab manual. Appropriate lab exercises are correlated to this helpful multimedia tool.
Often the laboratory exercises are short or are divided into several separate procedures. This allows an instructor to select those exercises or parts of exercises that will best meet the needs of a particular program. Also, exercises requiring a minimal amount of laboratory equipment have been included.
A section entitled "Study Skills for Anatomy and Physiology" is located in the front material, and was written by students in a human anatomy and physiology course.
Critical thinking applications are included within most of the laboratory exercises to enhance valuable critical thinking skills that students need throughout their lives.
A metric measurement and conversion table is included inside the back cover of the laboratory manual for easy reference.
