This e-publication is accessible to the full extent that the file format and types of content allow, on a specific reading device, by default, without necessarily including any additions such as textual descriptions of images or enhanced navigation.
-
All contents of the digital publication necessary to use and understanding, including any text, images (via alternative descriptions), video (via audio description) is fully accessible via suitable audio reproduction.
Navigation
-
The contents of the PDF have been tagged to permit access by assistive technologies as per PDF-UA-1 standard.
-
Page breaks included from the original print source
Additional Accessibility Information
-
All (or substantially all) textual matter is arranged in a single logical reading order (including text that is visually presented as separate from the main text flow, e.g., in boxouts, captions, tables, footnotes, endnotes, citations, etc.). Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
-
The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
-
For readers with color vision deficiency, use of color (e.g., in diagrams, graphics and charts, in prompts, or on buttons inviting a response) is not the sole means of graphical distinction or of conveying information
-
Content is enhanced with ARIA roles to optimize organization and facilitate navigation
-
Where interactive content is included in the product, controls are provided (e.g., for speed, pause and resume, reset) and labelled to make their use clear.

This product relies on 3rd party tooling which may impact the accessibility features visible in inspection copies. All accessibility features mentioned would be present in the purchased version of the title.
Gain the hands-on practice needed to understand anatomical structure and function! Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual, 12th Edition, provides a clear, step-by-step guide to dissection, anatomy identification, and laboratory procedures. The illustrated print manual contains 55 A&P exercises to be completed in the lab, with guidance including instructions, safety tips, and tear-out worksheets. Online, eight eLab modules (available via an access card) enhance your skills with simulated lab experiences in an interactive 3D environment. From a team of experts led by noted educator Kevin Patton, this laboratory manual provides you with a better understanding of the human body and how it works.
Key Features
- Step-by-step “check-box” dissection instructions with accompanying illustrations and photos cover anatomical models and fresh or preserved specimens — and provide helpful guidance during dissection labs
- 250 illustrations include microscopic and common histology slides, photos of cat, pig, and mink dissections, photos of various bones, and depictions of proper procedures
- Eight interactive eLabs provide a realistic laboratory experience in an interactive digital environment
- Complete lists of materials for each exercise provide handy checklists for planning and setting up laboratory activities, allowing for easy and efficient preparation
- Modern anatomical imaging techniques are introduced, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasonography, and challenge you to interpret actual images of the human body
- Images of microscopic anatomy include “zooming in” to microscope slide images at high-power magnification
- Tear-out Lab Reports contain checklists, drawing exercises, and questions that help demonstrate your understanding of the labs you have participated in, and also allow instructors to easily check your progress
- Labeling exercises and coloring exercises make it easier to identify and remember critical structures examined in the lab and in lectures
- Learning objectives at the beginning of each exercise offer a clear framework for learning
- Hint boxes provide special tips on handling specimens, using equipment, and managing lab activities
- Review questions provide tools to reinforce and apply your knowledge of anatomy and function concepts
- Convenient spiral binding allows for hands-free viewing in the lab setting
- Evolve companion website includes learning features and activities
New Features
- NEW! Eight new Venn diagrams have been added to select lab exercises throughout the Laboratory Manual
