Get Ready for A&P, 2^nd Edition

This workbook and website saves classroom time and frustration by helping students quickly prepare for the two-semester A&P course, and it can be packaged with any Benjamin Cummings A&P textbook for no additional charge. The hands-on workbook gets students up to speed with basic study skills, math skills, anatomical terminology, basic chemistry, cell biology, and other basics of the human body. Each topic area includes a pre-test, guided explanation, interactive quizzes and exercises, and end-of-chapter cumulative tests.  Enhancements to the second edition include more end-of-chapter review questions and a new section for instructors on how to integrate the book into their course.

The website includes chapter Pre- and Post-Tests with Study Plans that link to the E-Book, tutorials, and other activities to help students direct their review.

Get Ready for A&P, 2nd Edition, is easier for instructors to assign. All online assessments can now be imported into a variety of course management systems. The second edition companion website also features new activities and tutorials on key topics that closely correlate with the book.

NEW! Get Ready for A&P Online Course
Are You Ready?

Now available from Pearson - the Get Ready for A&P Online Course. Built to be delivered totally online or in a blended learning environment, the Get Ready for A&P course is definitely more than a book and more robust than a companion website. It's a resource to help students prepare for and excel in their study of anatomy and physiology. Based on the successful companion workbook of the same name, the Get Ready for A&P course is the first step in preparing students for the rigors of studying anatomy and physiology in a traditional two-semester course. Students will learn anatomical terminology, basic chemistry, cell biology, and other basics of the human body - and they're drilled on math skills through practical examples and problems directly related to A&P health careers, helping them put it all in context.

In addition, this course will help students develop better study skills with interactive modules focusing on personal accountability, organization, time management, test preparation/test taking, and more.

Get Ready for A&P Online Course is part of CourseConnect, a fully customizable, content-rich online or blended learning course suite. Get Ready for A&P includes rich lesson presentations, podcasts, relevant graded assignments and assessments, self-study quizzes, tutorials, animations, and additional resources for review, providing students with courses that are engaging, interactive, and convenient. Instructors also benefit from CourseConnect through top-notch instructor support including detailed lesson plans and facilitator tips with support for potentially difficult topics and suggested discussion points. CourseConnect Get Ready for A&P Online Course enables instructors to get A&P students learning quickly and efficiently.

Brand new, 3D movie-quality animations invigorate classroom lectures by using dramatic 3D representations and carefully developed step-by-step explanations to bring difficult-to-teach A&P concepts to life.  Key physiological processes are covered, such as the cross bridge cycle, excitation-contraction coupling of skeletal muscle, and generation of an action potential.

View demo

A&P Flix also cover origins, insertions, actions, and innervations of over 65 individual muscles —more than 50 animations focus on group muscle actions and joint movements. 

A&P Flix are available on both the instructor's Media Manager or Instructor Resource DVD for classroom presentation, and the myA&P companion website for student learning and practice. Each animation on the website includes Gradable Quizzes.

MP3 Tutor Sessions for Anatomy & Physiology

MP3 Tutor Sessions are audio tutorials—virtual office hours— for students to take advantage of anytime, anywhere. MP3 Tutor Sessions are located on the book’s companion website, and can be downloaded onto a computer and transferred to an iPod or any digital-media device that plays MP3 files.

From the book’s website, MP3 Tutor Sessions are tied, chapter-by-chapter, to the textbook and contain the following sections:

• Tough Topics: The “need to know” for each chapter
• Concept Review: A spot check for the big ideas tells students if they should keep studying
• Rapid Review: A quick drill session for studying right before the test

Practice Anatomy Lab™ 2.0 CD-ROM is an indispensable virtual anatomy practice tool that gives students 24/7 access to the most widely used lab specimens including the human cadaver, anatomical models, histology slides, cat, and fetal pig.

Each module includes hundreds of images as well as interactive tools for reviewing the specimens, learning and hearing the names of anatomical structures, seeing animations, and taking multiple-choice quizzes and fill-in-the-blank lab practical exams.

Each activity module includes three parts:

• Self-Review allows students to review the names of structures, see highlights of structures, hear the pronunciation of anatomical terms, and turn structure labels on and off.
• Quiz lets students test themselves on their knowledge of anatomical structures and functional anatomy. Students can, if they choose, get immediate feedback on their answers or wait to see a summary of results with correct answers and images.
• Lab Practical simulates a real lab practical exam by presenting students with fill-in-the-blank exam questions that ask them to identify and spell the name of the structure. Students can, if they choose, see a summary of results with correct answers and images.

View Table of Contents

New features of PAL 2.0 include:

• All-new Human Cadaver module
  The new Human Cadaver module includes hundreds of specially-commissioned cadaver photos for all three activities in the module.
• 3D Animations of Origins, Insertions, Actions, and Innervations
  PAL 2.0 includes 3D animations of origins, insertions, actions, and innervations of over 65 muscles in the Human Cadaver module. These animations are viewed as the student studies, reviews, and hears the name of each individual muscle, giving the student a one-stop learning experience. Quizzes on these animations are included in the Quiz activity.
• Fully Rotatable Human Skull
  A fully rotatable human skull and 17 other rotatable skeletal structures including the sphenoid bone, pelvis, femur, and humerus can now be found in the Human Cadaver module. These rotatable structures help students see and appreciate the three-dimensionality of bone structures.
• Customizable quizzes and lab practicals now available for course management
  Customizable quizzes and lab practicals are available for course management. Instructors can now modify multiple-choice quizzes and fill-in-the-blank lab practicals to reflect the content they want their students to be quizzed and tested on. In addition, these quizzes and lab practicals include images and questions not available in the student product.
  
  This new expanded assessment content makes it easier for instructors to assign pre-lab or extra-credit homework, and/or conduct in-class testing. Customizable quizzes and lab practicals are available via:

PhysioEx™ 8.0 laboratory simulations feature a brand new laboratory simulation for the endocrine system on measuring cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone. This powerful simulation software consists of 12 exercises containing 83 physiology lab simulations that may be used to supplement or substitute for wet labs. PhysioEx 8.0 allows students to repeat labs as often as they like, perform experiments without harming live animals, and conduct experiments that may be difficult to perform in a wet lab environment due to time, cost, or safety concerns.

The seven new PhysioEx 8.0 videos show students how to relate their PhysioEx simulation to a real wet lab experience and demonstrate the following experiments: Skeletal Muscle, Blood Typing, Cardiovascular Physiology, Water-Filled Spirometry, Nerve Impulses, BMR Measurement, and Cell Transport.

myA&P Websites

The myA&P websites provide students with indispensable practice tools, tutorials, and self-assessments to help them succeed in their A&P lecture and lab courses.

These websites organize resources developed from the content in each chapter of the textbook (for example, chapter quizzes, crossword puzzles, and flashcards) and the relevant course-specific, premium resources (for example, Practice Anatomy Lab™, Interactive Physiology®, and PhysioEx™). Students and instructors access these websites at www.myaandp.com.

Students can use these websites for review, practice, and self-assessment as long as they have an access code, included with any new textbook. The instructor does not have to set up a class, but the instructor can set up a class if they choose to track and assess student progress in the Gradebook.
