Computer Based Anatomy and Physiology: Improving Student Success

该项目将计算机技术与CD-ROM能力结合在一起，形成一个面向多媒体的解剖和生理学实验室。通过将计算机和MacLab接口纳入课程的实验设计，解剖学和生理学的实验程序正在升级。学生们分组工作，并进行各种练习，包括酸碱度测量、发酵过程中二氧化碳的产生、肌肉收缩、神经和肌肉准备、心电图、血压分析以及激素对青蛙心脏的影响。除了计算机通过与MacLab接口获得的数据外，学生还使用目前可用的各种其他软件包。

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.
