VERTEBRATE DISSECTION, Ninth Edition, provides exceptionally thorough and student-tested descriptions of dissection procedures and the steps needed to find all structures. It encourages and facilitates active and self-directed learning by the students so that instructors can teach more effectively and efficiently. The manual emphasizes dissection procedures that preserve as many structures as possible for later review of the entire specimens. This approach is an excellent preparation for students who will subsequently take anatomy courses in the health and animal sciences. Moreover, this manual places the observed material into an evolutionary and functional context. Students will understand the biological role, physiology, and embryonic development of each organ system and its parts, and how the various organ systems have evolved over time and in different animals. Organized by organ systems, this text brings the anatomy alive for students by interspersing narrative text throughout and explaining how the shape and structure of an organ relates to its function, and how evolutionary processes have transformed the form and function of organs. Additionally, the authors introduce a new feature, Anatomy in Action boxes, which contain interesting supplemental material that provides a broader context. Some of these boxes relate to functional anatomy, some make comparisons between different animals, and some address general biological questions that may include comparisons to the anatomy and biology of human beings.

This book introduces students to the groups of vertebrates and explores the anatomical evolution of vertebrates within the context of the functional interrelationships of organs and the changing environments to which vertebrates have adapted. The text contains all of the material taught in classic comparative anatomy courses, but integrates this material with current research in functional anatomy. This integration adds a new dimension to our understanding of structure and helps students understand the evolution of vertebrates.

Homberger, Dominique G.

Comprehensive, flexible and accessible, the text emphasizes evolution is at the very beginning in discussions of molecular and cell biology. A systems/classification organization and emphasis on "predictive value" reinforce the evolutionary theme, and four-color illustrations enhance the value of detailed drawings.

Dissection of the Fetal Pig

W.H.Freeman & Co.

The careful explanation of each step of the dissection, helpful diagrams and illustrations, and detailed discussion of the structure and function of each system in Anatomy and Dissection of the Rat, Third Edition, optimize the educational value of the dissection process. These laboratory exercises are available as a bound set for the first time ever; They’re still offered separately, as well. This popular series, which includes Anatomy and Dissection of the Frog and Anatomy and Dissection of the Fetal Pig, is geared toward introductory courses in biology, comparative anatomy, and zoology.
