Anatomy & Physiology Essentials by Susan J Hall

Anatomy & Physiology Essentials by Susan J Hall

The study of anatomy and physiology is a necessary first step for many careers--not only those in healthcare fields such as medical assistant, nursing assistant, medical records technician, dental assistant, and laboratory technician, but also in sports-related and exercise fields. More than most, these fields require hands-on practice and experience. The purpose of this laboratory manual is to provide a structured environment that introduces you to the hands-on side of anatomy and physiology.

Many of the activities in this manual simply reinforce basic concepts described in your textbook. Others, including the many interactive, hands-on procedures and dissections, extend well beyond textbook concepts. These labs are designed to provide true lab experiences to supplement your existing knowledge and to expose you to the techniques and requirements of working in a laboratory.

Each activity begins with a list of objectives to guide your expectations and learning from the activity. A list of materials is included for all interactive laboratory investigations check these lists to be sure you have everything you need before beginning the lab. The purpose of the Pre-Lab Review in the interactive labs is to refresh your memory about topics related to the lab. Perform each procedure exactly as described, taking careful note of the Safety and Caution notes, as well as the Clinician Tip and Hint features. At the end of each interactive lab, use the conclusion questions to review the concepts.

The main portion of the laboratory manual consists of 16 chapters that focus on various body systems. After the last chapter, a collection of Cumulative Case Studies helps you put all of the information you have studied to use in a clinical scenario. These case studies require an understanding of multiple body systems and will give you a good idea of how anatomy and physiology principles are used in healthcare-related fields.

She has been teaching at the college level for more than 30 years.Michelle Provost-Craig is an Associate Professor in the Department of Kinesiology and Applied Physiology at the University of Delaware, where she has taught graduate and undergraduate courses in physiology, clinical exercise physiology, and electrocardiogram interpretation for more than 20 years. She is the recipient of the University's most prestigious awards for Excellence in Teaching and Excellence in Advising and Mentoring. She also received a University grant from the Center for Teaching Effectiveness to develop innovative approaches to teaching anatomy and physiology to college students. While at the University of Delaware, she served as the graduate coordinator of the Masters in Exercise Science program and was the founder of their Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Program. Dr. Provost-Craig has served in numerous leadership roles for the United States Figure Skating Association (USFSA) and has performed physiological assessments of national and international elite ice figure skaters. She was the Vice President of the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the Regional American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and has participated in several ACSM committees. Dr. Provost-Craig earned a Masters degree from the University of Delaware and a PhD in Exercise Physiology from the University of Maryland.

William C. Rose is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Kinesiology and Applied Physiology at the University of Delaware, where he has taught anatomy and physiology for more than ten years. He is a member of the American Physiological Society and the American College of Sports Medicine. He is the author of textbook chapters and research articles in the fields of cardiovascular physiology and biomechanics. He has served as a grant proposal reviewer for the National Science Foundation and as a manuscript reviewer for scientific journals such as Circulation and the American Journal of Physiology. After graduating from Harvard University with a degree in physics, Rose earned a PhD in biomedical engineering from Johns Hopkins University. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship in cardiology at Johns Hopkins Hospital, and he worked in research and development for the DuPont Company before joining the University of Delaware.
