Anatomy & Physiology 1 Lab Companion is a student-friendly human anatomy and physiology workbook designed with a regional, lab-based approach. Created by a seasoned anatomy and physiology professor in collaboration with his students, this guide offers a unique blend of comprehensive content, engaging humor, and practical usability. As readers journey from the cranium to the hallux, they’ll explore well-organized chapters covering bones, muscles, nerves, organs, and physiological exercises, each with a detailed table of contents, a regional lab overview, and individual structure breakdowns. Featuring real-life photos (human, feline, bovine, ovine), custom illustrations, charts, and practice quizzes, this resource is highly suited to students and is a valuable tool for new professors looking to streamline their anatomy and physiology lab instruction.

Glossary
Bill Johnson, Ph.D. (affectionately known as Dr. J) is a distinguished professor of anatomy and physiology at the Community College of Rhode Island and a former adjunct professor of anatomy, physiology, and chemistry at the University of Rhode Island. After earning his Ph.D. in Oceanography from URI in 1980, Dr. J has committed his career to educating students with a blend of humor, approachability, and passion. Alongside his loyal canine companion Lily, Dr. J is devoted to helping students thrive by creating comprehensive resources to support their learning. When not in the classroom, Dr. J is an avid gardener tending to his beloved rhododendrons, a dedicated cyclist covering many miles each year, and a race car enthusiast, competing on renowned circuits such as Lime Rock Park in Connecticut, Watkins Glen in New York, and Mosport in Canada.
Lisa Miller, M.F.A., M.A.T. is a former educator as well as a licensed physical therapist assistant, freelance writer, content creator, and marketing professional from Rhode Island. A passionate animal lover, Lisa enjoys reading, cooking, traveling, watching Doctor Who, and spending quality time with her partner Matt and their terrier mix, Georgia. Despite her self-confessed fear of math and epic struggles with inorganic chemistry, she is immensely grateful to Dr. J for guiding her through anatomy and physiology and patiently answering her many questions. She thoroughly enjoyed working as a hands-on lab tutor and helping to make Dr. J's textbook an invaluable resource for students.
