Combining the traditional features of a lab manual with those of a dissection guide and a pictorial anatomical atlas, this manual provides an innovative framework for organizing, interpreting, and applying anatomical information. It shows the human body, as seen and studied in the laboratory, through a medical-quality art program that features color illustrations and color and black/white photographs of prosected cadavers, anatomical laboratory models, anatomical specimens and surface anatomy. The manual provides separate instructions for the student dissector and observation points for the students who will study the prosected cadaver. Step-by-step procedures for accurately performing each dissection are provided for both human and cat.
