Confused about required Anatomy book

Published

I'm gonna take Anatomy this fall and one of the required books is: Human A&P Lab Manual 10th edition (updated) cat version by Marieb. Before my school bookstore website posted the updated version, I had already bought the 10th un-updated edition. Are these two versions the same thing or do I need to buy the updated version? If so, how different are they? I know the updated version comes w/ online stuff, but I am referring to the actual content in the book. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

If you bought it from the bookstore just take it back and get the correct one. If you can't do that, email your teacher and ask to see if you can use that book. Good luck!

I accidently bought the cat instead of the pig...opps!

It totally depends on your instructor. Email them and see. In my A&P lab we had 3 or maybe even 4 different versions, but the parts the instructor used from the lab book were all the same, so as long as we had a lab book, he didn't care which one.
