Laboratory Manual for Human Anatomy with Cat Dissections

Michael G. Wood received his Master of Science in 1986 at Pan American University, now the University of Texas at Pan American. His graduate studies included vertebrate physiology and freshwater ecology. Today he is a professor of Biology at Del Mar College in Corpus Christi, Texas, where he has taught anatomy and physiology and biology for more than 20 years. He has received the “Educator of the Year” and “Teacher of the Year” awards from the Del Mar College student body and from the local business community. Professor Wood is a member of the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society.   Mike Wood is known for his clear, concise, and accessible writing style and his guiding focus on the student.
