Exploring Anatomy and Physiology in the Laboratory, 3rd Edition by Erin C. Amerman, published by Morton Publishing Company in January 2017, is a comprehensive and engaging manual designed to complement lecture material for a two-semester anatomy and physiology laboratory course. This beautifully illustrated and affordably priced resource streamlines the learning process by focusing on essential activities and eliminating redundant exposition and artwork. Each unit begins with clear learning objectives, followed by pre-lab exercises that encourage active preparation through key term definitions, labeling, and coloring activities. Unlike many other lab manuals, this text provides organized and easily referenced lists of anatomical structures to identify. The illustrations and photography are specifically designed to enhance student comprehension of lab concepts and procedures, fostering active learning through describing, labeling, writing, coloring, and drawing. Tracing exercises help students visualize the interconnectedness of body systems and the relationship between structure and function by tracing the path of substances through the body. Throughout the manual, “Hints & Tips” offer guidance on challenging topics, and chapter-ending quizzes allow students to assess their recall and understanding of key concepts and learning goals.
