Sinopsis
A brief, hands-on lab manual specifically adapted for one-semester A&P labs in the allied health market―now with more realistic 3-D art, new and modern photos, and a brand-new student-friendly design. Elaine Marieb’s Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Manual, Sixth Edition can accompany any one-semester A&P text, but is most effectively paired with Marieb’s Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, Eleventh Edition. The manual includes 27 exercises featuring a wide range of activities and a full-color Histology Atlas with 55 photomicrographs. Each exercise includes a Pre-Lab Quiz, a materials list, background information, integrated objectives for focused learning, a summary of key concepts, a variety of hands-on activities, and challenging review sheets.&> KEY TOPICS: The Language of Anatomy, Organ Systems Overview, The Cell - Anatomy and Division, Cell Membrane Transport Mechanisms, Classification of Tissues, The Skin (Integumentary System), Overview of the Skeleton, The Axial Skeleton, The Appendicular Skeleton, Joints and Body Movements, Structure of Skeletal Muscle, Gross Anatomy of the Muscular System, Neuron Anatomy and Physiology, Gross Anatomy of the Brain and Cranial Nerves, Spinal Cord and Spinal Nerves, Human Reflex Physiology, The Special Senses, Anatomy and Basic Function of the Endocrine Glands, Blood, Anatomy of the Heart, Anatomy of Blood Vessels, Human Cardiovascular Physiology―Blood Pressure and Pulse Determinations, Anatomy of the Respiratory System, Respiratory System Physiology, Functional Anatomy of the Digestive System, Functional Anatomy of the Urinary System, Anatomy of the Reproductive System Intended for those who want to gain a basic knowledge of Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory
Acerca del autor
For Elaine N. Marieb, R.N., Ph.D., taking the needs of nursing and other allied health students into account has always been an integral part of her teaching style. Dr. Marieb began her teaching career at Springfield College, where she taught anatomy & physiology to physical education majors. She then joined the faculty of the Biological Science Division of Holyoke Community College in 1969 after receiving her Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. While teaching at Holyoke Community College, Dr. Marieb pursued her nursing education, which culminated in a Master of Science degree with a clinical specialization in gerontology from the University of Massachusetts. This experience, along with continual feedback from health care professionals (including generations of former students taught by Dr. Marieb), has inspired the unique perspective and accessibility for which this book is known. Dr. Marieb’s commitment to students extends beyond teaching and writing. Recognizing the challenges students face, Dr. Marieb contributes to the New Directions Program at Holyoke Community College by funding a staffed drop-in center and by providing several full-tuition scholarships each year for women who are returning to college after a hiatus or attending college for the first time. She also funds the E.N. Marieb Science Research Awards at Mount Holyoke College (which promotes research by undergraduate science majors) and has underwritten renovation and updating of one of the biology labs in Mount Holyoke’s Clapp Laboratory. Recognizing the severe national shortage of nursing faculty, Dr. Marieb also underwrites the Nursing Scholars of the Future Grant Program at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. In 1994, Dr. Marieb received the Benefactor Award from the National Council for Resource Development, American Association of Community Colleges, which recognizes her ongoing sponsorship of student scholarships, faculty teaching awards, and other academic contributions to Holyoke Community College. In May 2000, the science building at Holyoke Community College was named in her honor. Dr. Marieb is an active member of the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Additionally, while actively engaged as an author, Dr. Marieb serves as a consultant for the Pearson Education Interactive Physiology® CD-ROM series. This text–Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual, Sixth Edition–is the latest expression of her commitment to the needs of the students pursuing the study of A&P. When not involved in academic pursuits, Dr. Marieb is a world traveler and has vowed to visit every country on this planet. Shorter term, she serves on the board of directors of the famed Marie Selby Botanical Gardens and on the scholarship committee of the Women’s Resources Center of Sarasota County. She is an enthusiastic supporter of the local arts and enjoys a competitive match of doubles tennis.
