PhysioEx 8.0 for Human Physiology: Lab Simulations in Physiology

This easy-to-use software consists of 11 modules containing 79 physiology lab simulations 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 now includes the newly expanded 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 human physiology students (i.e., at a slightly more rigorous level than the worksheets accompanying PhysioEx 8.0 for A&P, which is designed for 1-semester anatomy & physiology students).
