Abundant Tools for Practice and Review:
- QuickCheck Questions at the end of most activity introductions help students assess their understanding of the material before beginning the actual laboratory work.
- Clinical Application boxes present clinical information useful to students who plan a career in the allied health field. Students can apply this information by answering the Clinical Challenge questions in the end-of-exercise Review & Practice Sheet.
- Study Tip boxes give students handy memory devices, tools for learning certain relationships, and general suggestions for retaining complex A&P concepts.
- Review & Practice Sheets (formerly Lab Reports) follow each exercise, and can be completed by students and handed in for grading. Tasks include answering a variety of questions, labeling illustrations, drawing structures, matching related items, completing tables, recording data, writing observations, and interpreting results.
Specialized Lab Activities:
- BIOPAC Activities are incorporated within some of the lab exercises to allow instructors who have BIOPAC equipment in their lab to use it effectively with this lab manual.
Also available with MasteringA&P
- NEW: TEAS and HESI exam practice questions in the Study Area help students prep for the nursing school entrance exam with 150 TEAS and 300 HESI multiple-choice questions and wrong-answer feedback for all questions.
- NEW: Practice Anatomy Lab (PAL) 4.0Â is a virtual anatomy study and practice tool that provides students 24/7 access to the most widely used lab specimens including human cadaver, histology, cat, fetal pig, 3D and anatomical models. PAL 4.0 includes built-in audio pronunciations, mobile friendly flashcards, and multiple choice and fill-in-the blank lab practical quizzes. Questions with images from PAL can be assigned and automatically graded in the Mastering A&P Item Library.
- NEW: Core Lab Topics Coaching Activities use MasteringA&P data to determine the most frequently assigned exercises. A total of 37 new Coaching Activities tutor students through core lab topics such as blood typing and tracing blood from the heart to the hand. All Coaching Activities ask students to interact with visuals from the lab manual. Varied question types include multiple-choice, art-labeling, ranking, and sorting, as well as wrong-answer feedback and hints.
- NEW: Draw It: Tutorial Coaching Activities include brief videos that feature author Michael Wood teaching students drawing techniques as a way for them to understand and remember anatomical structures and physiological processes. Developed for the early lab exercises, these new tutorials show students how to approach the Draw It: activities found in the printed lab manual. QR codes included in the printed lab manual allow students to access the tutorials for on-the-go study. Corresponding questions for each Draw It: Tutorial are included in MasteringA&P and are assignable.
- NEW: Review & Practice Sheets at the end of each lab exercise are now assignable activities in MasteringA&P. Automatic grading in Mastering allows instructors to avoid laborious hand-grading of these popular end-of-lab exercises. Open-ended questions in the printed lab manual shift to multiple choice or matching questions so that they are easily gradable in Mastering.
- UPDATED: Art-labeling Activities help students comprehend and interpret key visuals in the A&P lab. For the sixth edition, these Activities have been updated to reflect revised figures in the lab manual. There are now at least 10 Art-labeling Activities per Exercise.
- UPDATED: Instructor Resource Area includes a rich variety of supporting materials from the author's personal A&P labs, including his anatomy inventory — a customizable document to help structure instructors' labs — histology micrographs, digital photos, lab procedures documents, and more. The Instructor Resources area in MasteringA&P offers additional information on the use of the data acquisition equipment from BioPac, AD Instruments, and other companies.
- UPDATED: Learning Catalytics™ questions tailored to each lab provide students a solid foundation for taking in new information by interacting with the subject matter. Learning Catalytics™ helps generate class discussion, guide lecture, and promote peer-to-peer learning with real-time analytics. This interactive student response and practice tool uses students' smartphones, tablets, or laptops to engage them in more sophisticated tasks and thinking, and is available with Mastering with eText.
