PhysioEx 8.0 for A&P: Laboratory Simulations in Physiology

This easy-to-use software consists of 11 modules containing 79 physiology lab activities that may be used to supplement or substitute for wet labs. PhysioEx 8.0 allows students to repeat labs as often as they like, perform experiments without harming live animals, and conduct experiments that may be difficult to perform in a wet lab environment due to time, cost, or safety concerns. Every copy includes PhysioEx 8.0 CD-ROM featuring an updated exercise on Endocrine System Physiology. The CD-ROM also includes seven videos that show students how to relate their PhysioEx simulation to a real wet lab experience. The software is accompanied by step-by-step worksheets specifically written for 2-semester anatomy and physiology students (i.e., at a slightly less rigorous level than the worksheets accompanying PhysioEx 8.0 for Human Physiology, which is designed for 1-semester human physiology students).
