Laboratory Manual for Anatomy and Physiology

Laboratory Manual for Anatomy and Physiology, Third Edition presents exercises that will enhance one's understanding of anatomy and physiology. It contains activities and experiments that will help the reader to both visualize anatomical structures and understand physiological topics. Lab exercises are designed in a way that require readers to first apply information they learned and then to critically evaluate it.

Clinical Pathophysiology Made Ridiculously Simple

Provides a conceptual overview of pathophysiology and mechanisms of disease, designed to ease the transition from the basic sciences to the clinical years. Should be particularly useful in the transition from the second to the third year of medical school, but should also be very helpful to nurses and other health care professionals. Shows the clinical relevance of the basic sciences through overall principles and understanding. Accompanied by a CD on Differential Diagnosis, showing the interpretation of common lab tests and patient symptoms and signs.
