Laboratory Manual

Written by Kevin Patton of St. Charles County Community College, this manual divides the material typically covered in anatomy and physiology labs into 42 subunits. Selection of the subunits and the sequence of their use permits the design of a laboratory course that is integrated with the emphasis and sequence of the lecture material. Basic content is introduced first, and gradually more complex activities are developed. This laboratory manual also contains coloring exercises, boxed hints, safety alerts, separate lab reports, and a full-color histology minireference.

Instructor's Manual for the Laboratory Manual

This online manual is housed within the instructor OLC. It provides all answers to the lab report questions, suggestions on how to use various exercises, materials lists, helpful hints, reagent recipes, and more.

Transparencies

The set of transparency acetates that accompanies the text includes 250 full-color images identified by the authors as the most useful figures to incorporate in lecture presentations.

Instructor's Manual

Accessed via the Online Learning Center, the Instructor's Manual by Margaret Weck of St. Louis College of Pharmacy includes supplemental topics, teaching strategies, and demonstration ideas for your lectures. This manual also provides a listing of relevant transparencies for each text chapter and answers to the Develop Your Reasoning Skills questions.

Test Item File

The Test Item File contains matching, true/false, and essay questions specifically designed to complement each chapter of the text. Instructors using WebCT, Blackboard, or PageOut can access the Test Item File online.

Microtest

Microtest is a computerized test generator free upon request to qualified adopters. The test generator contains the complete Test Item File on CD-ROM. Requires no programming experience and is designed to work on both Windows and Macintosh platforms.

PageOut

PageOut is McGraw-Hill's exclusive tool for creating your own website for your A & P course. It requires no knowledge of coding. Simply type your course information into the templates provided. PageOut is hosted by McGraw-Hill.


In addition to the materials specifically designed to accompany Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology, McGraw-Hill offers the following supplemental resources to enrich the study and instruction of anatomy and physiology.

Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Manual-Fetal Pig by Terry R. Martin, Kishwaukee College. Provides excellent full-color photos of the dissected fetal pig with corresponding labeled art. It includes World Wide Web activities for many chapters.

Web-Based Cat Dissection Review for Human Anatomy and Physiology by John Waters, Pennsylvania State University. This online multimedia program contains vivid, high-quality labeled cat dissection photographs. The program helps students easily identify and review the corresponding structures and functions between the cat and the human body.

Dynamic HumanVersion 2.0 A set of two interactive CD-ROMs that cover each body system and demonstrate clinical concepts, histology, and physiology with animated three-dimensional and other images.

Interactive Histology CD-ROM by Bruce Wingerd and Paul Paolini, San Diego State University. This CD containing 135 full-color, high-resolution LM images and 35 SEM images of selected tissue sections typically studied in A&P. Each image has labels that can be clicked on or off, has full explanatory legends, offers views at two magnifications, and has links to study questions. The CD also has a glossary with pronunciation guides.

Life Science Animation VRL 2.0 contains over 200 animations of major biological concepts and processes such as the sliding filament mechanism, active transport, genetic transcription and translation, and other topics that may be difficult for students to visualize.
