Computer Based Anatomy and Physiology: Improving Student Success

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The project combines computer technology with CD-ROM capability into a multimedia oriented anatomy and physiology laboratory. Experimental procedures are being upgraded in anatomy and physiology by incorporating computer and MacLab interfaces into the experimental design of the curriculum. Students work in groups, and conduct various exercises, including pH measurements, CO2 production in fermentation, muscle contraction, nerve and muscle preparations, ECGs, blood pressure analysis, and hormonal effects on frog hearts. In addition to computer acquired data from interfacing with MacLab, students also utilize a variety of other software packages currently available.
