Laboratory Manual for Human Anatomy

Human anatomy is a challenging course, and this laboratory manual is written to help students meet that challenge. Although this manual incorporates many illustrations from Principles of Human Anatomy by Tortora and Nielsen, it may be used with any one-semester anatomy textbook.
