Experiments in Physiology

Book excerpt: For laboratory courses in Human/Animal Physiology Noted for its clear language, logical information flow, and emphasis on developing critical skills, this versatile manual covers all of the material needed for a one-semester human or animal physiology laboratory course. Over 90 exercises are organized into 22 chapters that are suitable for a two- to four-hour lab period. The Eleventh Edition incorporates inquiry-based components, including an "Explain This" feature, which asks you to thoughtfully consider the aim of each exercise that they perform, and also contains a new scientific inquiry and graphing Appendix -- making this a perfect complement to any book. Instructors may pair the lab manual with other technologies such as PhysioEx (TM) 9.1, PowerLab, Vernier, and BIOPAC to effectively engage you. This impressive collaboration between Woodman and Tharp gives instructors the opportunity to truly foster critical thinking skills and add a dynamic element to their laboratory courses.
