Human Biology Laboratory Manual is a guide designed to help students learn and expand their fundamental knowledge of the human organ systems as well as the basic principles of biology. The laboratory activities are in sequence with and complementary to the material students learn in lecture.  Homework at the end of each laboratory is designed for a student to review, synthesize and apply the knowledge they have learned in class.
