Title overview

  • NEW - Exercises formatted in HTML for increased stability, web browser flexibility, and improved accessibility.
  • 63 physiology lab activities cover topics such as cell transport, skeletal muscle contraction, irritability and conductivity of neurons, hormones and metabolism, cardiovascular dynamics, respiratory processes, digestion, glomerular filtration, acid/base balance, and more.
  • Easy step-by-step instructions so everything the student needs to do is located in one convenient place.  After the student performs a step, instructions for the next step appear. Students gather data, analyze results, and check their understanding all on screen.
  • Input data variability reflects more realistic results students would encounter in real wet-lab experiments and gives students the flexibility to experiment with multiple variables and observe how outcomes are affected. 
  • Formative assessment throughout via pre-lab quizzes, post-lab quizzes, and short-answer review sheets are offered to students for every activity.
  • Stop & Think Questions and Predict Questions help students think about the connection between the activities and the physiological concepts they demonstrate. As the students go through the steps of an experiment, they’re asked Stop & Think questions about the activity and the relevant physiological principles to check their understanding before moving on. Students are also asked to make predictions about the results for an experiment to apply what they have learned before seeing the results.
  • Illustrations relate the onscreen lab equipment to the corresponding human body structures in certain labs to help students understand the relationship.
  • Online review sheet questions record answers in Lab Report that students can save as a PDF and print and/or email to their instructor. 
  • Companion print lab manual includes for each exercise an Overview, activities and review sheets.
  • The Instructor Guide provides answers to Pre-Lab Quizzes, Review Sheets, and Activity questions.
  • A separate bank of Mastering assignments of pre-lab and post-lab quizzes and review sheets are assignable from the Mastering Item Library.
  • PhysioEx 10.0 is available in the Study Area of MasteringA&P.
  • A Test Bank of assignable pre-lab and post-lab quizzes for use with TestGen® or their course management system is provided for instructors.
