The goal of this project is to upgrade the physiology laboratories of two courses: Anatomy and Physiology, and Vertebrate Physiology. First, the acquisition of a dual channel recorder accessory transducers and preamplifiers for the existing Thornton physiographs, and the updating of existing physiographs with solid state electronics are resulting in the introduction of two new labs: a Cardiovascular Fitness lab and a Biofeedback lab; the reduction of lab group size, thus providing students with better opportunity for hands- on-experience: and the replacement of demonstration experiments allowing small groups of students to measure such functions as lung volume, EEG's, EKG's and volume pulse measurements in four different laboratories. Secondly, a TRIAC centrifuge which spins microhematocrits, urine and blood tubes allows students to determine hematocrit for the first time and to perform urinalysis procedures in the Kidney Physiology lab. Thirdly, a T.V. videosystem introduced into eight labs having a Histology component is improving teaching and student use of labs dedicated to the teaching of microstructure. Lastly, a new still provides needed distilled water for physiological solutions. The above developments encourage experimentation, foster students' understanding of physiological principles, challenge students to think analytically, and encourage technical competence of women, including large numbers of older minority women who are enrolled in the college's "Hill College" program for disadvantaged students. The grantee institution is matching the NSF award with an equal sum obtained from non-Federal sources.

这个项目的目标是提升 两门课程的实验室：解剖学和生理学，脊椎动物 Physiology. 一、购置双通道记录仪 现有Thornton的附件传感器和前置放大器 地理图，并更新现有地理图， 国家电子公司正在引进两个新的实验室： 心血管健身实验室和生物反馈实验室;减少实验室 小组规模，从而为学生提供更好的机会，手- 经验：以及示范实验的替代 允许一小群学生测量肺功能， 体积、EEG、EKG和体积脉搏测量在四个不同的 laboratories. 其次，TRIAC离心机旋转微血细胞比容，尿液 和血液管让学生们可以确定血细胞比容的第一个 时间，并在肾脏生理学实验室进行尿液分析程序。 第三，在八个实验室引进了一套电视录像系统， 组织学部分正在改善教学和学生对实验室的使用 致力于微观结构的教学。 最后，一个新的静止 提供生理溶液所需的蒸馏水。 上述发展鼓励实验，促进 学生对生理原理的理解、挑战 学生分析思考，并鼓励技术能力， 妇女，包括大量老年少数民族妇女， 为弱势学生开设的“希尔学院”项目 受资助机构将NSF奖励与同等金额相匹配 来自非联邦来源。
