Title overview

Ideal for nursing, physical therapy, pharmacology, respiratory therapy, exercise science, biology and pre-med programs, Marieb Human Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual, Cat Version helps you understand the structure and function of the human body. A wide variety of 46 Experiments and 9 Cat Exercises encourage you to learn by doing. It begins with anatomical terminology and an orientation to the body, giving you the tools to study various body systems. The Exercises that follow emphasize both anatomical and physiological aspects. It can accompany any A&P textbook, and is also available in Main and Fetal Pig versions.

The 14th Edition has been streamlined and updated to clarify language and help you grasp concepts. It spotlights available digital support including corresponding lab videos, 3D Models, Interactive Labs for A&P, and PhysioEx in Mastering. New research is incorporated throughout.
