Co-developed by Benjamin/Cummings Publishing, the Interactive Physiology series software significantly enriches the teaching environment by providing visual understanding of complex topics. For use as both a presentation and teaching tool in the classroom, as well as a study tool for students, these CD-ROMs feature four color animations, sound, video, and extensive interactive quizzes that thoroughly explain difficult physiology concepts, many of which occur at the cellular and molecular level.
Respiratory System
Anatomy Review: Respiratory Structures. Using an overview diagram, the flow of air is traced from the external nares to the lungs. A Baboon analogy demonstrates the relationship between the visceral and parietal pleurae. Detailed art follows the flow of air from the bronchial tree all the way to the alveolus. Animations illustrate the types of cells in the alveolus, showing alveolar macrophages in action! The quizzes include labeling exercises and a clinical question about pulmonary edema.
Pulmonary Ventilation. This topic first demonstrates the relationship between volume and pressure. The movements of the thoracic cavity are correlated with graphs and gauges showing pressure changes in the lungs. Students are asked to predict the effect of pneumothorax on the lungs. The topic discusses airway resistance, and uses a baboon analogy to show lung compliance. In the quiz, students must sequence the events of inspiration and expiration, reinflate a lung, as well as correlate pressure graphs with airflow.
Gas Exchange. After introducing gas laws, this topic explains the factors affecting gas exchange in the lungs and tissues. Also, animations illustrate the effect of gas levels on the bronchioles and arterioles. In the quiz, students must correctly identify gas values in the lungs and tissues, and apply their knowledge of gas laws and gas exchange to make predictions.
Gas Transport. This topic discusses the different forms to which oxygen and carbon dioxide are carried in the body. The important oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve is presented in a dynamic manner, and has a predictable question to test understanding. The animations enliven the chemistry, making the molecules more than mere symbols. The quiz tests student knowledge with challenging labeling and sorting exercises, as well as predictable questions.
Control of Respiration. This topic illustrates the underlying importance of homeostasis in the control of respiration. Through flowcharts, the topic walks students through the feedback loop that controls respiration. The topic discusses the effects of hyper- and hypoventilation. The quiz tests understanding of these concepts by asking students to make predictions and also to manipulate elements in the flowcharts.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
