About the Manual
- Dozens of full-color figures and photos replace black and white line drawings inthe Exercise Review Sheets. Selected labeling questions in the manual can be assigned in Mastering A&P.
- Clinical Application Questions in the Exercise Review Sheets challenge students to apply lab concepts and critical thinking skills to realworld clinical scenarios. These streamlined questions are adapted from several of the “Why This Matters,” discussions in the previous edition.
- BIOPAC procedures are included in the manual for eight lab exercises and have been updated for the BIOPAC 4.0 software upgrade. Procedures for Intelitool®, PowerLab®, and iWorx® remain available in the Instructor Resources area of Mastering A&P®.
- Mastering A&P Visual Previews appear on the first page of each lab exercise, guiding students to explore a recommended pre-lab video, a related image from Practice Anatomy Lab 3.1 (PAL 3.1), or a helpful animation.
- Mastering A&P Assignment Recommendations are signaled at appropriate points throughout the manual to help instructors locate and assign related auto-graded activities and assessments.
Also available with Mastering A&P
- 8 Pre-Lab Video Coaching Activities in Mastering A&P (for a total of 18) focus on key concepts in the lab activity and walk students through important procedures. New pre-lab video topics include Preparing and Observing a Wet Mount, Examining a Long Bone, Initiating Pupillary Reflexes, Palpating Superficial Pulse Points, Auscultating Heart Sounds, and more.
- Cat and Fetal Pig Dissection Video Coaching Activities help students prepare for dissection by previewing key anatomical structures. Each video includes 12 comparisons to human structures.
- Practice Anatomy Lab™ (PAL™ 3.1) is now fully accessible on all mobile devices including smart phones, tablets and laptops. PAL is an indispensable virtual anatomy study and practice tool that gives students 24/7 access to the most widely used lab specimens including human cadaver, anatomical models from leading manufacturers such as 3B Scientific, SOMSO, Denoyer-Geppert, Frey Scientific/Nystrom, Altay Scientific, and Ward’s, histology, cat, and fetal pig. PAL 3.1 is easy to use and includes built-in audio pronunciations, rotatable bones and simulated fill-in-the-blank lab practical exams.
- Customizable Practice Anatomy Lab (PAL) Flashcards enable students to create a personalized, mobilefriendly deck of flashcards and quizzes using images from PAL 3.1. Students can generate flashcards using only the structures that their instructor emphasizes in lecture or lab.
- Building Vocabulary coaching activities are a fun way for students to learn word roots and A&P terminology while building and practicing important language skills.
- Dynamic Study Modules help students study effectively on their own by continuously assessing their activity and performance in real time. Students complete a set of questions and indicate their level of confidence in their answer. Questions repeat until the student can answer them all correctly and confidently. These are available as graded assignments prior to class and are accessible on smartphones, tablets, and computers.
- NEW! Instructors can now remove questions from Dynamic Study Modules to better fit their course.
- EXPANDED! The Lab Manual Mastering A&P course now offers over 3,000 Dynamic Study Module questions, shared with Marieb/Hoehn Human Anatomy & Physiology, 11th Edition.
- Drag-and-Drop Art Labeling Questions allow students to assess their knowledge of terms and structures in the lab manual. Selected exercise review sheet labeling activities in the manual are now assignable.
- Pearson eText, optimized for mobile, seamlessly integrates videos and other rich media with the text andgives students access to their textbook anytime, anywhere. The Pearson eText is available with Mastering A&P when packaged with new books, or as an upgrade students can purchase online. The eText mobile app offers:
-
- Offline access on most iOS and Android phones/tablets.
- Accessibility (screen-reader ready)
- Configurable reading settings, including resizable type and night reading mode
- Instructor and student note-taking, highlighting, bookmarking, and search tools
- Embedded videos for a more interactive learning experience
- Learning Catalytics™ helps generate class discussion, customize lectures, and promote peer-to-peer learning with real-time analytics. Learning Catalytics acts as a student response tool that uses students’ smartphones, tablets, or laptops to engage them in more interactive tasks and thinking.
