Synopsis:

"The Grine Lab Workbook" is designed for the Human Anatomy Lab course and takes a regional approach as opposed to a systems approach. This approach is becoming more and more popular as a way to teach Human Anatomy. Instructors who use a lab book with a "regional approach" and combine it with a text that takes a "systems" approach offer their students a combination that serves to reinforce anatomical knowledge since it forces the student to see each anatomical structure from two perspectives. "Grine" can be used effectively in conjunction with a lab course that uses human cadavers since the content is presented in the regional sequence typically practiced in dissection.

From the Publisher: This 2-color workbook focuses on coloring and labeling activities and serves as a wonderful study tool for students.
This workbook is perfect for lab courses in which a human cadaver is used for dissection since the content is presented in the regional sequence typically practiced in such dissection.
Questions are interspersed throughout the 11 chapters (answers provided in appendix).
Students will read each text section, then proceed to the activities which are performed directly on the line art.
The author has woven in clinical boxes to highlight facts of interest to students pursuing health-related professions.
High quality art program features 224 newly created line art images.
Instructors who use a lab book with a "regional approach" and combine it with a text that takes a "systems" approach offer their students a combination that serves to reinforce anatomical knowledge since it forces the student to see each anatomical structure from two perspectives.
The regional perspective allows students to think about anatomical structures (the heart for example) not only in terms of its relationship within a bodily system (cardiovascular), but also in terms of its relationship to organs located in the immediate vicinity (thoracic structures for example).
While this manual is designed mainly to support labs in which a cadaver is used, it is also an effective tool for a lab course in which anatomical models are used.
Currently, there is no other manual on the market that takes this approach that is NOT a dissection guide. This approach mimics the dissection of a human cadaver, and the order of the chapters is such that most cadaveric dissections follow the same sequence.
This manual contains COLORING and LABELING exercises that (with one exception in Kapit's Anatomy Coloring Book) are not available in any other manual. The Kapit book contains illustrations that are so full of structural details (due to its systems approach) that the completed, colored diagram is often extremely confusing.
Students are encouraged to complete all the exercises that entail coloring in each structure that is discussed in the short text, and then label the same structure.
This manual attempts to explain the organization of the body in a manner that is not duplicated in any other manuals, and is designed to be a source available to the student.
No other manual (or text, for that matter) attempts to go beyond simple rote memorization of lists of muscles with their origin-insertion, action and innervation. This manual, on the other hand, approaches muscles as a functional group, and attempts to explain innervation in terms of dorsal and ventral developmental pathways.
