Main description:

For the one-semester human anatomy laboratory course.

Everything students need for a successful lab experience

With 30 exercises covering all body systems, a clear, engaging writing style, and full-color illustrations, Human Anatomy Laboratory Manual with Cat Dissections, 9th Edition provides everything needed for a successful lab experience. Visual Summary Tables present complex information, and "Why This Matters" boxes help students relate the lab activity to a real-life or clinical example.

The 9th Edition features new Clinical Application Questionsthatchallenge students to apply lab concepts and critical-thinking skills to real-world clinical scenarios. And new full-color illustrations and photos replace many black and white line drawings to help students differentiate among structures and more easily interpret diagrams. The lab manual complies with the illustration and presentation style of Human Physiology text, but can be paired with any human anatomy textbook.
