Inhaltsangabe

Practice Anatomy Lab™ (PAL™) 3.0 is an indispensable virtual anatomy study and practice tool that gives students 24/7 access to the most widely used lab specimens including human cadaver, anatomical models, histology, cat, and fetal pig. PAL 3.0 features a whole interactive cadaver that allows students to peel back layers of the human cadaver (from superficial to deep layers) and view hundreds of dissection photographs specially commissioned for 3.0.   It also features an interactive histology module that allows the student to view the same tissue slide at different magnifications, thereby helping the student identify structures and their characteristics.   PAL 3.0 is available online via the Study Area of MasteringA&P™. Students may also purchase the PAL 3.0 DVD or a 12-month subscription to PAL 3.0 online at www.practiceanatomylab.com.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Ruth E. Heisler is a senior instructor in the Department of Integrative Physiology at the University of Colorado at Boulder where she teaches and coordinates several courses, including Human Anatomy, Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy, and Forensic Biology. Ms. Heisler received her B.S. in Biology from the University of Minnesota, and her M.A. in Biology from the University of Colorado. She has been an instructor at the University of Colorado for 14 years. At the University of Colorado, Ms. Heisler has worked extensively with the Science Education Initiative to improve both the teaching and understanding of scientific material at the undergraduate level. In addition, she has been involved in academic outreach through workshops with the American Academy of Forensic Sciences and the Biological Sciences Initiative. She has been a consultant on projects with the Center for Human Simulation, working with data generated through the Visible Human Project. Additionally, she is an active member of the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS), where she has presented workshops on the use of Practice Anatomy Lab as an assessment tool in the classroom.

Ms. Heisler has been deeply involved in the development of Practice Anatomy Lab for nearly five years, as co-author of versions 2.0 and 3.0.  She has also authored a custom laboratory manual developed for a large, cadaver-based Human Anatomy Lab course. 

In her spare time, Ms. Heisler enjoys spending time in the mountains and traveling with her husband and two young sons.

Nora Hebert currently teaches undergraduate courses in Anatomy and Physiology at Red Rocks Community College near Denver, Colorado. Although most of her students are undergraduates, primarily interested in the allied health professions, Dr. Hebert has also taught graduate-level Human Physiology for the College’s Physician Assistant Program. Dr. Hebert received a Ph.D. in Endocrinology from the University of California at Berkeley. Although her research interests have primarily been in basic science, she became familiar with the research phase of drug development while doing a postdoctoral fellowship in the private sector. It was during this fellowship that Dr. Hebert decided to pursue teaching as a profession. Dr. Hebert is an active faculty member at Red Rocks, serving on the faculty senate, the honors program committee, and the admissions and executive committees for the Physician Assistant Program. She is also part of the College’s Campus Green Initiative. Dr. Hebert has consulted in the development of an interactive virtual knee, known as the Explorable Virtual Human, with the Center for Human Simulation at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. She has also been involved with the Visible Human Dissector program, advising K-12 teachers and postsecondary instructors on how best to implement the Dissector in their classrooms. Dr. Hebert has been deeply involved in the development of Practice Anatomy Lab for nearly five years, as co-author of versions 2.0 and 3.0.  She is also the author of over 60 A&P Flix™ animations covering muscle physiology, neurophysiology, and muscle origins, actions, insertions and innervations.

 

Jett Chinn is an instructor of Human Anatomy in the Science and Technology Division of Cañada College (Redwood City, CA), and also the Life and Earth Sciences Department at the College of Marin (Kentfield, CA). Mr. Chinn has 20 years of experience teaching Human Anatomy at several Bay Area institutions. He has taught Stomatology courses for first-year dental students at the UC San Francisco School of Medicine; undergraduate-level human anatomy courses at San Francisco State University; lower extremity anatomy and general human anatomy lab courses at California College of Podiatric Medicine; and general anatomy lab courses at Touro University College of Osteopathic Medicine. Mr. Chinn’s work in the classroom has inspired students to pursue careers in nursing, physical and occupational therapy, radiology, medicine, dentistry and other health-related fields. Mr. Chinn received a B.A. in general biology from San Francisco State University and a B.F.A. in painting from the California College of Arts and Crafts.
