This lab manual can be used with Saladin’s Human Anatomy text, or it can be used independently. The illustrations are labeled; therefore, students do not need to bring their lecture texts to the lab. The lab manual can be used in either a one-term or a full-year course. The illustrations are outstanding, and the balanced combination of line art and photographs provides effective coverage of the material. The amount of lecture material in the manual is limited, so there is little material included that is not part of the laboratory experience.
