Human Physiology with Vernier
by Diana Gordon and Steven Gordon, M.D.
We introduced several exciting new sensors for teaching physiology this year: Spirometer, Hand Dynamometer, Blood Pressure Sensor, and Hand-Grip Heart Rate Monitor. We are now pleased to announce the release of our new Human Physiology with Vernier lab manual. This book contains 24 human physiology experiments using these new sensors, as well as our EKG Sensor, Surface Temperature Sensor, O2 Gas Sensor, and 25-g Accelerometer.
Experiments in this book will appeal to students at many levels, including high school, advanced placement, and college. Each experiment is designed to encourage students to think about the physiology of the various human organ systems. These activities will guide your students through explorations of the upper respiratory tract, the lungs, the heart, the nervous system, and the musculoskeletal system. Homeostasis is an underlying theme found throughout this book. Several experiments illustrate the response of the human body to stress and other external influences. Other activities simulate disease states that enable students to compare normal and abnormal functioning in a particular system.
Where possible, the authors have pointed out the medical relevance of each experiment with examples and problems drawn from clinical experience. Each of the activities in this book is written with directions for computer-based data collection, using the newly released Logger Pro 3.4 software.
