This text is for the 1-semester undergraduate human anatomy laboratory course. Nearly all 1 semester anatomy courses include a laboratory requirement in addition to the regular classroom lecture. The Radke Anatomy Lab Manual will be written to not only accompany the new edition of Tortora's Principles of Human Anatomy 9e (Summer 2001), but will also work effectively in conjunction with any of the leading textbooks on the market (Martini, Marieb, Van De Graaff). The enrollment for the lab course reflects that of the textbook market - approximately 100,000 students annually.

The Radke Anatomy Lab Manual presents the material covered in a clear and concise manner and contains many interactive activities and experiments that will enhance students' ability to visualize anatomical structures. Lab exercises will be designed to require students to first apply information and to also critically evaluate it.
