To help students remain focused and organized, I prefer the lab manual to emphasize lab activities/procedures. I find the photos and illustrations accompanying the procedures very helpful to the students. The lab reinforces lecture materials and provides students an opportunity for honing critical thinking and analytical skills.

Draw It: Tutorials show the students how to quickly and easily draw select structures and processes to better understand them.Pictorial instruction photos walk students through the steps of core lab processes and standard procedures in the field, such as how to examine microscopic structures.Model Photos are clear, precise anatomical model photos provided by the author.Stepwise Dissection Photos visually guide students through examinations of the following animal organs: Sheep brainCow or sheep eyeSheep heartSheep kidney Lab Equipment and Clinical Photos effectively train students how to work in labs and professional clinical settings. Photo topics include: Students using key lab equipmentClinical instruments and medical devicesClinicians performing procedures UPDATED: Drawing boxes are modifiable to enlarge and match the instructor's preferred look for the final assignment.UPDATED: Martini Art brings together a comprehensive program featuring histology micrographs by Michael Wood, and high-quality cat and pig dissection photos by the expert dissector and photographer team of Shawn Miller and Mark Nielsen at the University of Utah. Available with Mastering A&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) 4.0 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 provide 37 new Coaching Activities that tutor students through core lab topics such as blood typing and tracing blood from the heart to the hand. Activities ask students to interact with visuals from the lab manual. 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 Mastering A&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™ allows you to hear from every student when it matters most. You pose a variety of questions that help students recall ideas, apply concepts, and develop critical-thinking skills. Your students respond using their own smartphones, tablets, or laptops.
