This traditional lab manual for the A&P course examines every structure and function of the human body. In addition to a large variety of illustrations, the manual features dissection of the white rat, numerous physiological experiments, an emphasis on the study of anatomy through histology, lists of appropriate terms accompanying art, numerous photomicrographs and specimen photos, phonetic pronunciation and derivation of terms, diagrams of lab equipment, lab report questions and report templates, and three appendices. An instructor's guide is available and provides detailed information for instructors about needed materials, suggestions, and answers to questions.
