This interactive manual presents lab activities in a clear, concise, and student-friendly writing style. It contains activities and experiments that enhance students' ability to both visualize anatomical structures and understand physiological topics. Lab exercises require students to first apply information they learn and then critically evaluate it. The manual is written to not only complement the new edition of Tortora & Grabowski's Introduction to the Human Body, Sixth Edition, but to work effectively with any of the leading essentials textbooks.
