, Introduction
This instructor’s resource manual was written to assist you in the preparation of the lab portion of
the course. It serves to coordinate the labs with the ordering of material, aids the instructor or lab
technician in preparing material for the lab, provides a detailed list of preparations and sources for
ordering, and provides instructional aids in the running of the lab. This manual also provides
answers to the review questions at the back of each exercise.
The lab manual contains 43 exercises that cover the breadth of human anatomy and physiology.
Each exercise can be used in its entirety or shortened depending on the time available or according
to your interest. Labs vary in terms of equipment. Some exercises may need to be modified or
deleted entirely due to the physical constraints of the institution. The text is written for students
who are introductory students to the material and may have little or no chemistry background.
Orders must be made ahead of time for items such as sterilized blood, live frogs, enzymes, and
other materials for the preparation of solutions. Many supply companies will take orders early and
ship material to arrive at the scheduled time. As labs are being prepared, specific quantities of
materials need to be prepared. A general rule of thumb is to calculate the total amount of material
that will be used in lab and double that amount.
Materials listed in this lab manual are generally indicated as per student, per table (assuming a
table of four), or per lab section (25 students). Test all reagents and experiments prior to trying
them in lab. Note any modifications to the experiments for future use. I would be very happy to
hear from you regarding comments or suggestions concerning the lab. You can contact me through
McGraw Hill or at Santa Barbara City College.
Instructor’s resources such as PowerPoint reviews at the end of lab, videos, computer
presentations, additional texts or illustrations add to students’ comprehension of the material.
Some students want to go beyond the material at hand and available references are wonderful to
have in the lab.
