Practice Anatomy Lab 3.0

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.

Students get more opportunity to practice via the new question randomization feature (each time the student retakes a quiz or lab practical a new set of questions is generated). PAL 3.0 retains all of the key advantages of 2.0 including the simplicity, ease-of-use, and simulated fill-in-the-blank lab practicals.

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.

• Whole new interactive cadaver allows students to peel back layers of the human cadaver (from superficial to deep layers) and view hundreds of brand new dissection photographs specially commissioned for 3.0.
• New interactive histology allows students to view the same tissue slide at different magnifications, thereby helping students identify structures and their characteristics. New orientation thumbnails help students to stay oriented.
• New question randomization gives students more opportunity to assess their learning. Each time the student retakes a quiz or lab practical a new set of questions is generated.
• Hundreds of new images and views, especially of the human cadaver, anatomical models, and histology.
• Photo gallery allows students to quickly see thumbnails of images for a particular region or sub-region.
• Integration of nerves, veins, and arteries across body systems.  Carefully prepared cadaver dissections allow students to view key structures such as nerves, veins, and arteries across various body systems Instructor Resource DVD with Test Bank for PAL^™ 3.0 includes everything an instructor needs to present and assess PAL 3.0 in lecture and lab. The DVD includes images in PowerPoint with editable labels and leader lines, labeled and unlabeled images in JPEG and PowerPoint^® format, JPEGs with single structure highlight and leader for quizzing and testing, and PowerPoint image slides featuring embedded links to relevant 3D anatomy animations and bone rotations. Test Bank includes more than 4000 multiple-choice quiz and fill-in-the-blank lab practical questions available in PDF and TestGen^® format. It also includes updated test items files for importing into Blackboard and other course managements systems and an index of anatomical structures covered in PAL 3.0.
• Enhanced user-interface design provides space for larger images and quicker navigation so students can quickly get to where they want to go.
• Easier customization of quizzes and lab practicals lets instructors specify the structures they want to test on using Mastering and other course management systems.
• Animations closed-captioning option provide textual presentation of narration to cognitively help students retain information and to support ADA compliance.
• Turn-off-highlight feature in quizzes and lab practicals give students the option to see a structure without the highlight overlay.

• Intuitive nagivation with easy-to-use format allows students to quickly and easily explore the program’s three activities: Self Review, Quiz, Lab Practical.
• Simulated lab practical exams ask students to identify and then spell the name of the structure. These fill-in-the-blank question types are typically what students will encounter in their real lab practical exam.
• Built-in audio pronunciation of hundreds of key anatomical terms.
• Integrated 3D muscle animations in Human Cadaver and Anatomical Models focus on the origin, insertion, action, and innervation of key muscles.  
• Rotatable bones help students see and appreciate the three-dimensionality of bone structures.  Students can easily rotate individual bones as they learn skeletal anatomy in Self-Review sections of Cadaver and Anatomical Models.
• Search bar and index help students quickly find structures and animations.
