Main description:

Laboratory Manual for Human Physiology provides students with an opportunity to explore physiological processes in a completely hands on series of experiments that make extensive use of ADInstruments PowerLab data collection system. Students work with real biological preparations, including themselves, in both guided and inquiry-based experiments. All lab activities support and include questions that link back to concepts taught in lecture.
