Combo: Seeley's Anatomy & Physiology with Wise Lab Manual


Book Description

This text is written for the two semester anatomy & physiology course. The writing is comprehensive continues its efficacy as being enough to provide the depth necessary for those courses not requiring prerequisites, and yet, is presented with such clarity that it nicely balances the thorough coverage. Clear descriptions and exceptional illustrations combine to help students develop a firm understanding of the concepts of anatomy and physiology and to teach them how to use that information. Great care has been taken to select important concepts and to perfectly describe the anatomy of cells, organs, and organ systems. The plan that has been followed for ten editions of this popular text is to combine clear and accurate descriptions of anatomy with precise explanations of how structures function and examples of how they work together to maintain life. To emphasize the concepts of anatomy and physiology, the authors provide explanations of how the systems respond to aging, changes in physical activity, and disease, with a special focus on homeostasis and the regulatory mechanisms that maintain it. This text has more clinical content than any other A & P book on the market. Users who purchase Connect receive access to the full online eBook version of the textbook.

The Wisdom of the Hive


Book Description

This book describes and illustrates the results of more than fifteen years of elegant experimental studies conducted by the author to investigate how a colony of bees is organized to gather its resources. The results of his research--including studies of the shaking signal, tremble dance, and waggle dance--offer the clearest, most detailed picture available of how a highly integrated animal society works.




PhysioEx 9. 0


Book Description

PhysioEx™ 9.0: Laboratory Simulations in Physiology with 9.1 Update is an easy-to-use laboratory simulation software and lab manual that consists of 12 exercises containing 63 physiology lab activities that can be used to supplement or substitute wet labs. PhysioEx allows you to repeat labs as often as you like, perform experiments without harming live animals, and conduct experiments that are difficult to perform in a wet lab environment because of time, cost, or safety concerns. PhysioEx 9.1 features input data variability that allows you to change variables and test out various hypotheses for the experiments. 9.1 retains the popular new improvements introduced in 9.0 including onscreen step-by-step instructions and “Stop & Think” and “Predict” questions that help you think about the connection between the experiments and the physiological concepts they demonstrate.




The World of UCL


Book Description

From its foundation in 1826, UCL embraced a progressive and pioneering spirit. It was the first university in England to admit students regardless of religion and made higher education affordable and accessible to a much broader section of society. It was also effectively the first university to welcome women on equal terms with men. From the outset UCL showed a commitment to innovative ideas and new methods of teaching and research. This book charts the history of UCL from 1826 through to the present day, highlighting its many contributions to society in Britain and around the world. It covers the expansion of the university through the growth in student numbers and institutional mergers. It documents shifts in governance throughout the years and the changing social and economic context in which UCL operated, including challenging periods of reconstruction after two World Wars. Today UCL is one of the powerhouses of research and teaching, and a truly global university. It is currently seventh in the QS World University Rankings. This completely revised and updated edition features a new chapter based on interviews with key individuals at UCL. It comes at a time of ambitious development for UCL with the establishment of an entirely new campus in East London, UCL East, and Provost Michael Arthur’s ‘UCL 2034’ strategy which aims to secure the university’s long-term future and commits UCL to delivering global impact.




Laboratory Manual by Wise for Seeley's Anatomy and Physiology


Book Description

Anatomy & Physiology Revealed (APR) is an interactive human cadaver, fetal pig, and cat dissection tool to enhance lecture and lab that students can use anytime, anywhere. APR contains all the systems covered in A & P and Human Anatomy courses, including Body Orientation, Cells and Chemistry, and Tissues. Animations, rotatable 3D models, dissection, histology, imaging, and quizzing capabilities aid in preparing students for ultimate success. SmartBook 2.0 is the adaptive learning solution that is personalized to individual student needs, continually adapting to pinpoint knowledge gaps and focus learning on concepts requiring additional study. For instructors, SmartBook 2.0 provides greater control over course content and performance data-most importantly, students are better prepared, so instructors can focus on advanced instruction for a more dynamic class experience. Prep prepares students to thrive in A & P by helping solidify knowledge in the key areas of cell biology, chemistry, study skills, and math. Using adaptive technology, the program identifies what a student doesn't know, and then provides "teachable moments" designed to mimic the office-hour experience. When combined with a personalized learning plan, an unprepared or struggling student has all the tools needed to quickly and effectively learn the foundational knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in a college-level A & P course. Connect Virtual Labs is a fully online lab solution that can be used as an online lab replacement, preparation, supplement or make-up lab to bridge the gap between lab and lecture. These simulations help a student learn the practical and conceptual skills needed, then check for understanding and provide feedback. With pre-lab and post-lab assessment available, instructors can customize each assignment. Students are better prepared, more efficient, and retain more of the fundamental skills necessary for a successful laboratory experience. Practice Atlas for Anatomy & Physiology is an interactive tool that pairs images of common anatomical models with stunning cadaver photography, allowing students to practice naming structures on both models and human bodies, anytime and anywhere. These groundbreaking interactives encourage students to explore key physiological processes and difficult concepts. Students are engaged in state-of-the-art interactives, with the ability to visualize and interact with moving parts that simulate important physiologic processes. Students can be assigned these interactives, or can practice for self-paced learning. Book jacket.
