Marieb Human Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual, Main Version, 14th edition
Title overview
For 2-semester A&P laboratory courses.
The structure and function of the human body
Marieb Human Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual features a wide variety of experiments for students concentrating in healthcare programs. Each exercise reinforces students' understanding with a learn-by-doing approach. The lab manual uses artwork from Marieb/Hoehn's Human Anatomy & Physiology text, but can accompany any A&P textbook. It is available in 3 versions (Main, Cat, Fetal Pig); the Cat and Pig versions respectively include cat and fetal pig dissection exercises.
The 14th Edition spotlights available multimedia and digital tools such as videos and animations, PAL 4.0 3D Anatomical Models, Interactive Labs for A&P, and PhysioEx in Mastering. It updates content and streamlines narrative throughout. For easier reference and identification, the new edition of each manual version is now numbered consistently as 14th Edition.

About our authors
Lori A. Smith received her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of California at Davis. Before discovering her passion for teaching, she worked as a research scientist and project leader in the medical diagnostics industry. In 1999, she joined the faculty at American River College in the Biology Department. Currently she teaches anatomy and physiology and microbiology to pre-nursing and mortuary science students at American River College.
Starting in 2005, she began co-authoring Pearson's PhysioEx: Laboratory Simulations in Physiology and has continued to co-author several versions of the software and lab manual. Dr. Smith has been awarded Instructor of the Year by the American River College Associated Students for her commitment to serving students; she is a member of the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) and the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT).
Elaine N. Marieb (1936-2018) received her Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Shortly after she joined the faculty of the biology department at Holyoke Community College, Elaine famously enrolled in a nursing degree program while she was teaching anatomy and physiology to aspiring nursing students. This unique experience gave Elaine special insights into the foundational knowledge that nurses needed to master. Armed with this insight and a clear talent for teaching and writing, Elaine authored Human Anatomy & Physiology, which became an immediate hit with instructors and students.
A critical part of Elaine’s legacy is The Elaine Nicpon Marieb Charitable Foundation. The foundation has helped fund numerous science and nursing programs and scholarships at the College of Nursing at University of Massachusetts, Florida Gulf Coast University, Holyoke Community College and Mount Holyoke College.
