1. Вступ
This full-color laboratory manual is designed for instructors teaching a two-semester introductory anatomy and physiology course. It is suitable for programs that do not require the extensive range of laboratory exercises found in Marieb's other Human Anatomy & Physiology Lab Manuals (Cat, Fetal Pig, and Main). While compatible with various two-semester texts, its content is optimized for use with Marieb's Anatomy & Physiology, Fifth Edition.
The manual provides a structured approach to laboratory work, supporting student learning through practical exercises and visual aids.
