Superior full-color photographs and illustrations distinguish this manual from others. This dissection guide and atlas provides carefully worded directions that allow students to learn basic mammalian anatomy through the use of a rat specimen. Great care has gone into the preparation of accurate and informative illustrations and the presentation of high-quality color photographs and photomicrographs. The text is clearly written, and dissection instructions are set apart from the text to assist students in the lab. Each chapter begins with a list of objectives, and tables are utilized to summarize key information. The dissection guide is published in loose-leaf, three-hole drilled format for convenient use in the laboratory.
