Mastering
For the 2-semester A&P laboratory course.
Leading students toward understanding
Human Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual features a wide variety of experiments for students concentrating in healthcare programs. Each exercise leads students toward an understanding of the structure and function of the human body. The lab manual uses artwork from Marieb/Hoehn's Human Anatomy & Physiology text, but can accompany any A&P textbook. Available in 3 versions (Main, Cat, Fetal Pig), the Cat and Pig versions respectively include cat and fetal pig dissection exercises.
The 13th Edition includes many new, full-color figures and photos and revamped clinical application and critical thinking questions.
Hallmark features of this title
- The variety of laboratory exercises and activities offer organ dissections for rat, cow, and sheep specimens, plus full body dissections in the Cat and Pig versions.
- Icons alert students to dissection activities, safety precautions, homeostatic imbalance sections, exercises with BIOPAC® equipment, and PhysioEx™ Exercises.
- Workbook-Style design presents information in visual summary tables and streamlines background information, providing space to write and draw.
- Group Challenge activities create an active learning environment.
- Surface anatomy exercise features superb photos of muscle definition and clear surface landmarks for skeletal, muscular, and vascular structures.
- Terminology reflects information in Terminologia Anatomica and Terminologia Histologica.
New and updated features of this title
- Dozens of full-color figures and photos replace black and white line drawings in the Exercise Review Sheets.
- Clinical Application Questions in the Exercise Review Sheets challenge students to apply lab concepts and critical thinking skills to realworld clinical scenarios. These streamlined questions are adapted from several of the “Why This Matters,” discussions in the previous edition.
- UPDATED: BIOPAC procedures are included in the manual for 8 lab exercises and have been updated for the BIOPAC 4.0 software upgrade.
Features of Mastering A&P for the 13th Edition
- NEW: Mastering A&P Visual Previews appear on the first page of each lab exercise, guiding students to explore a recommended pre-lab video, a related image from Practice Anatomy Lab 4.0, or a helpful animation.
- NEW: Mastering A&P Assignment Recommendations are signaled at appropriate points throughout the manual to help instructors locate and assign related auto-graded activities and assessments.
- NEW: 8 Pre-Lab Video Coaching Activities (total of 18) focus on key concepts in the lab activity and walk students through important procedures.
- NEW: Cat and Fetal Pig Dissection Video Coaching Activities help students prepare for dissection by previewing key anatomical structures. Each video includes 12 comparisons to human structures.
- Pre-Lab Quizzes motivate students to read the material before coming to lab and focus on the activity during lab time. Post-Lab Questions expand the bank of assessment questions for every lab exercise and include wrong-answer feedback.
- Practice Anatomy Lab™ (PAL™ 4.0) is a virtual anatomy study and practice tool that gives students 24/7 access to the most widely used lab specimens, including human cadaver, histology, cat, fetal pig, 3D and anatomical models.
- Human Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual, 13th Edition is available in 3 versions: Main, Cat and Fetal Pig.

Elaine N. Marieb received her Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and then joined the faculty of the Biological Science Division of Holyoke Community College. While teaching at Holyoke Community College, where many of her students were pursuing nursing degrees, she wanted to better understand the relationship between the scientific study of the human body and the clinical aspects of the nursing practice. To that end, while continuing to teach full time, Dr. Marieb pursued her nursing education, which culminated in a Master of Science degree with a clinical specialization in gerontology from the University of Massachusetts. It is this experience that has informed the development of the unique perspective and accessibility for which her textbooks and lab manuals are so well known.
Dr. Marieb passed away in 2018 after a lifetime of supporting numerous institutions and programs. Perhaps her favorite cause was helping students, especially nontraditional students, pursue their goals in science. She gave generously to provide opportunities for them to further their education by, to name just one example, funding the E. N. Marieb Science Research Awards at Mount Holyoke College. She also believed strongly in research: she underwrote the renovation of the biology labs in Clapp Laboratory at Mount Holyoke College and provided funding for reconstruction and instrumentation of a cutting-edge cytology research laboratory at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
Her legacy of contributing to science education lives on through the Elaine Nicpon Marieb Foundation, which provides support to multiple causes and organizations. In 2021, the Foundation provided a generous donation to University of Massachusetts, Amherst, which is now home to the Elaine Marieb College of Nursing. Dr. Marieb has also provided philanthropic support to Florida Gulf Coast University, which is home to the Elaine Nicpon Marieb College of Health and Human Services.
Lori A. Smith received her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of California at Davis. Before discovering her passion for teaching, she worked as a research scientist and project leader in the medical diagnostics industry. In 1999, she joined the faculty at American River College in the Biology Department. Currently she teaches anatomy and physiology and microbiology to pre-nursing and mortuary science students at American River College. Starting in 2005, she began co-authoring Pearson's PhysioEx: Laboratory Simulations in Physiology and has continued to co-author several versions of the software and lab manual. Dr. Smith has been awarded “Instructor of the Year” by the American River College Associated Students for her commitment to serving students, and she is a member of the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) and the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT).
