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 & 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"--




Course Guide for Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology


Book Description

"Eighth Edition is designed for students who are enrolled in a one-semester course in human anatomy and physiology. The scope, organization, writing style, depth of presentation, and pedagogical aspects of the text have been tailored to meet the needs of students preparing for a career in one of the allied health professions, or taking the course as a general education requirement. The eighth edition has been substantially enhanced and improved. Added a "Careers In" section at the start of every chapter to show students how the chapter content relates to careers in the real world. Approximately 20 figures and tables were revised or are completely new.Revised descriptive language to improve the overall readability of the text. Terminology and phrasing more commonly used by students outside the classroom have been added where appropriate. By making the text easier to read, students will have an easier time grasping more complex anatomical and physiological content. Added the course guide of the 8th edition back into the lecture text to facilitate easier student use and completion. Updated terminology to align with the Terminologia Anatomica, Terminologia Histologica, and Terminologia Embryologica"--




Exploring Biology in the Laboratory: Core Concepts


Book Description

Exploring Biology in the Laboratory: Core Concepts is a comprehensive manual appropriate for introductory biology lab courses. This edition is designed for courses populated by nonmajors or for majors courses where abbreviated coverage is desired. Based on the two-semester version of Exploring Biology in the Laboratory, 3e, this Core Concepts edition features a streamlined set of clearly written activities with abbreviated coverage of the biodiversity of life. These exercises emphasize the unity of all living things and the evolutionary forces that have resulted in, and continue to act on, the diversity that we see around us today.







Laboratory Manual for Saladin's Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology


Book Description

The McFarland/Wise: Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual is intended for the one-semester A&P Laboratory course, which is often taken by allied health students.

Ecology


Book Description

This best-selling majors ecology book continues to present ecology as a series of problems for readers to critically analyze. No other text presents analytical, quantitative, and statistical ecological information in an equally accessible style. Reflecting the way ecologists actually practice, the book emphasizes the role of experiments in testing ecological ideas and discusses many contemporary and controversial problems related to distribution and abundance. Throughout the book, Krebs thoroughly explains the application of mathematical concepts in ecology while reinforcing these concepts with research references, examples, and interesting end-of-chapter review questions. Thoroughly updated with new examples and references, the book now features a new full-color design and is accompanied by an art CD-ROM for instructors. The field package also includes The Ecology Action Guide, a guide that encourages readers to be environmentally responsible citizens, and a subscription to The Ecology Place (www.ecologyplace.com), a web site and CD-ROM that enables users to become virtual field ecologists by performing experiments such as estimating the number of mice on an imaginary island or restoring prairie land in Iowa. For college instructors and students.
