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.

Anatomy 360


Book Description

With Anatomy 360, you'll get a complete picture of every part of your body—from your head to your toes, inside and out, and from every angle. Our bodies are a mystery to us. We see our arms and legs move, but may have no idea how the muscles beneath look as they contract. We know that our stomachs digest food and our hearts pump blood, but the images we have in our heads of these organs are often inaccurate or incomplete. Even seeing pictures of our internal systems and organs can be misleading if these pictures don't offer a full, 360-degree view. This new flexibound edition of Anatomy 360 shows the human body in its entirety—from the skin to the muscles to the organs to the bones. This stunning book provides a unique perspective on our most crucial parts, showing how the structures of our bodies influence their functions. You'll learn about the vagus nerve, which allows us to swallow, speak, and cough, and the frontalis muscle, which raises our eyebrows when we're surprised. You'll also learn why our noses run when we cry and why our brains are so important even though they weigh just one kilogram each. With Anatomy 360, you'll finally get a complete look at the human body—even the parts you thought you'd never see! The hardcover edition of Anatomy 360 won the Gold Award in Reference from ForeWord’s 2011 Book of the Year Awards




Anatomy & Physiology


Book Description

"Human anatomy and physiology is a fascinating subject. However, students can be overwhelmed by the complexity, the interrelatedness of concepts from different chapters, and the massive amount of material in the course. Our goal was to create a textbook to guide students on a clearly written and expertly illustrated beginner's path through the human body. An Integrative Approach One of the most daunting challenges that students face in mastering concepts in an anatomy and physiology course is integrating related content from numerous chapters. Understanding a topic like blood pressure, for example, requires knowledge from the chapters on the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and how these structures are regulated by the nervous and endocrine systems. The usefulness of a human anatomy and physiology text is dependent in part on how successfully it helps students integrate these related concepts. Without this, students are only acquiring what seems like unrelated facts without seeing how they fit into the whole. To adequately explain such complex concepts to beginning students in our own classrooms, we as teachers present multiple topics over the course of many class periods, all the while balancing these detailed explanations with refreshers of content previously covered and intermittent glimpses of the big picture. Doing so ensures that students learn not only the individual pieces, but also how the pieces ultimately fit together. This book represents our best effort to replicate this teaching process. In fact, it is the effective integration of concepts throughout the text that makes this book truly unique from other undergraduate anatomy and physiology texts"--

The Social Life of Coffee


Book Description

What induced the British to adopt foreign coffee-drinking customs in the seventeenth century? Why did an entirely new social institution, the coffeehouse, emerge as the primary place for consumption of this new drink? In this lively book, Brian Cowan locates the answers to these questions in the particularly British combination of curiosity, commerce, and civil society. Cowan provides the definitive account of the origins of coffee drinking and coffeehouse society, and in so doing he reshapes our understanding of the commercial and consumer revolutions in Britain during the long Stuart century. Britain’s virtuosi, gentlemanly patrons of the arts and sciences, were profoundly interested in things strange and exotic. Cowan explores how such virtuosi spurred initial consumer interest in coffee and invented the social template for the first coffeehouses. As the coffeehouse evolved, rising to take a central role in British commercial and civil society, the virtuosi were also transformed by their own invention.




Examination Questions and Answers in Basic Anatomy and Physiology


Book Description

This book provides two thousand multiple choice questions on human anatomy and physiology, separated into 40 categories. The answer to each question is accompanied by an explanation. Each category has an introduction to set the scene for the questions to come. However not all possible information is provided within these Introductions, so an Anatomy and Physiology textbook is an indispensable aid to understanding the answers. The questions have been used in examinations for undergraduate introductory courses and as such reflect the focus of these particular courses and are pitched at the level to challenge students that are beginning their training in anatomy and physiology. The questions and answer combinations are to be used both by teachers, to select questions for their next examinations, and by students, when studying for an upcoming test. Students enrolled in the courses for which these questions were written include nursing, midwifery, paramedic, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nutrition & dietetics, health sciences and students taking an anatomy and physiology course as an elective.
