Product Information

Author Cynthia Prentice-Craver’s over thirty years of passion for and experience in teaching human anatomy and physiology, and her commitment to developing curriculum that stimulates student curiosity and enthusiasm, steered her cultivation of this 2026 release laboratory manual. Terry, the original author of this laboratory manual, had forty years of experience teaching anatomy and physiology courses, authored three different laboratory manuals, and was actively involved in the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS), which drove his determination to create a laboratory manual with an innovative approach that would benefit students. Cynthia is honored to have had Terry Martin as her mentor and coauthor on previous editions, and she has worked to uphold the reputation and brand while developing this 2026 release laboratory manual. The Laboratory Manual for Human Anatomy & Physiology includes sixty-three laboratory exercises, three supplemental labs found online, six cat dissection labs, six fetal pig dissection labs, and sixty-five Virtual Lab guided exercises. This laboratory manual is written to work well with any anatomy and physiology text.
