Engage students with stunning visuals and effective drawing techniques

The Wood Laboratory Manual for Anatomy & Physiology featuring Martini Art engages students in the lab, introduces them to clinical applications and helps them prepare for future careers. The comprehensive lab manual teaches drawing techniques to help students learn key A&P concepts and develop critical thinking skills.

The 7th Edition features new art from Martini's Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology, 12th Edition and extensively updated content throughout. The manual is available in Main, Cat and Pig versions. Cat and Pig versions respectively include 9 cat and 9 pig dissection exercises.

Hallmark features of this title

  • Clinical Application boxes present clinical information useful to allied health students. Students can then apply this information using Clinical Challenge questions in the Review & Practice Sheet. 
  • Review & Practice Sheets follow exercises and allow students to complete and submit for grading. 
  • QuickCheck questions assess understanding of the material before actual laboratory work. 
  • Study Tip boxes provide handy memory devices for learning certain relationships and retaining complex A&P concepts. 
  • Stepwise Dissection photos visually guide students through examinations of the sheep brain, cow or sheep eye, sheep heart and sheep kidney. 
  • Pictorial instruction photos walk students through core lab processes and standard procedures in the field. 

New and updated features of this title

  • UPDATED: Art program features new art from the 12th Edition of Martini Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology, histology micrographs by Michael Wood, and cat and pig dissection photos by expert dissectors and photographers Shawn Miller and Mark Nielsen at the University of Utah.
  • REVISED: Reflecting greater diversity, equity, and inclusion, visuals, language, and terminology have been meaningfully revised throughout.
  • UPDATED: Content includes revisions to 20% of the content with many updates being in response to instructor and student feedback, including the Protein Digestion Activity.
  • Callouts in the print lab manual direct students to interactive multimedia content in Mastering A&P and the Pearson+ eTextbook.

Features of Mastering A&P for the 7th Edition

  • NEW: Practice Anatomy Lab (PAL) 4.0  is a virtual anatomy practice tool that provides 24/7 access to human cadaver, histology, cat, fetal pig and anatomical models, and features fully interactive 3D models plus custom assignability in Mastering.
  • EXPANDED: Draw It: Tutorial Coaching Activities feature 5 new activities, bringing the total to 11. The activities showcase author Michael Wood in brief videos, teaching drawing techniques that help students understand and remember anatomical structures and physiological processes. 
  • NEW & UPDATED: Dynamic Study Modules reflect new content and now include shadow questions to prevent students from memorizing questions. Gap Finder: A&P Diagnostic assesses prerequisite knowledge in 5 areas: Study Skills, Math, Chemistry, Cell Biology and Biology Basics.
  • NEW: TEAS and HESI exam practice questions in the Study Area help students prep for the nursing school entrance exam with 150 TEAS and 300 HESI multiple-choice questions and wrong-answer feedback for all questions.
  • Art-labeling Activities help students comprehend and interpret key visuals in the A&P lab. Updated activities reflect revised figures in the lab manual. 
  • Review & Practice Sheets at the end of each lab exercise are assignable in Mastering A&P and auto-graded.

Features of Pearson+ eTextbook for the 7th Edition

  • NEW and EXPANDED: Embedded callouts and links give students seamless and easy access to interactive multimedia content, including Draw It: Tutorial Coaching Activities and bone, dissection and histology videos.
