The Laboratory Manual for Anatomy and Physiology, 6th Edition

By Connie Allen and Valerie Harper

The Laboratory Manual for Anatomy and Physiology, 6th Edition contains dynamic and applied activities and experiments that help students both visualize anatomical structures and understand complex physiological topics. Lab exercises are designed in a way that requires students to first apply information they learned and then critically evaluate it. With many different format options available along with powerful digital resources, it’s easy to customize this laboratory manual to your course.

The next generation of WileyPLUS for the Laboratory Manual for Anatomy and Physiology gives instructors the freedom and flexibility to tailor content and easily manage their course to keep students engaged and on track.

Hear from our Authors

Physiological simulations reinforce techniques used in the laboratory.

PowerPhys 3.0 simulation software allows users to explore physiology principles through 14 self-contained activities. Each activity includes objectives with illustrated and animated review material, pre-lab quizzes, pre-lab reports, data collection and analysis, and a full lab report with discussion and application questions. Experiments contain randomly generated data, allowing users to experiment multiple times but still arrive at the same conclusions.

Students practice on a real cadaver from the comfort of their own computer.

Real Anatomy 2.0 3-D imaging software lets students dissect through over 40 layers of a real human body to study the anatomical structures of all body systems. Students also have access to cat, fetal pig, and rat dissection videos, which provide step-by-step directions for dissecting these animals.

    What’s New


    Lab Manual for Anatomy and Physiology, 6th Edition enhancements include:
  • Concept Lectures: Created by author Mark Nielsen, these lectures provide a great resource for instructors who want to incorporate more of a flipped classroom into their teaching. Video lectures are a dynamic way to help students focus on key concepts and patterns in anatomy.
  • 3-D Animations: 3-D Physiology is an animation series that breaks down the most difficult physiological concepts for you to teach and your students to learn. Five new animations are available on topics like membrane transport and adaptive immunity.
  • Self-Contained Lab Exercises: These exercises include terminology and art that are consistent with Principles of Anatomy and Physiology by Gerard Tortora and Bryan H. Derrickson
  • Lab Reporting: Reviewing Your Knowledge sections and Using Your Knowledge reports ask students to review and apply the information learned. These are available as auto-graded question banks to assign to your students in the next generation of WileyPLUS.21
