For the two-semester A&P laboratory course.

Help manage time and improve learning inside and outside of the lab

The #1 best-selling Human Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual helps students and instructors manage time inside and outside of the A&P lab classroom and works hand-in-hand with Mastering A&P, the leading online homework and learning program for A&P.  The 13th Edition features dozens of new, full-color figures and photos in the review sheets, as well as revamped clinical application questions and critical thinking questions that reinforce the most important concepts from lab.

Encourage students to prepare for lab by assigning recommended Mastering A&P activities for each lab exercise, including 18 pre-lab videos (8 are new to this edition), Building Vocabulary Coaching Activities, exercise review sheet assessment questions, art labeling activities, mobile-ready Practice Anatomy Lab? 3.1 with customizable flashcards, and more. Thousands of assignment options in the Item Library are closely correlated with the print edition of the manual, making it easier than ever to create homework assignments that are aligned with your lab activities.  

Continuing to set the standard for the 2-semester A&P laboratory course, the lab manual complies with the illustration and presentation style of the best-selling Marieb/Hoehn Human Anatomy & Physiology text, but can accompany any A&P textbook. New customization options are available through Pearson Collections, as well as three conventional versions: Main (12th Edition), Cat (13th Edition), and Fetal Pig (13th Edition).

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 Healt
