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.
Urinary System
Anatomy Review. This topic shows the organs of the urinary system, and the external and internal anatomy of the kidney, including its blood supply. The nephron is covered, including the tubular segments and the associated blood vessels. In the renal corpuscle section, a glomerular capillary is expanded to show the layers of the filtration membrane, with photomicrographs for comparison and an animation of filtration of the membrane. Finally, the key features of the cells of each tubular segment are presented. The quizzes cover the structures presented.
Glomerular Filtration. This topic presents an overview of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion. Students can analyze filtrate and then answer a clinical question. Next, forces affecting filtration are shown and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is introduced. An interactive animation introduces the discussion of autoregulation mechanisms of the GFR. The website demonstrates sympathetic control in emergency situations. Quizzes allow students to answer questions on concepts covered.
Early Filtrate Processing. This topic covers reabsorption and secretion. It starts with an analogy for reabsorption, and presents animations. Then it moves through the tubular segments, presenting animations of the movement of molecules through the luminal and basolateral membranes of each, differentiating between diffusion, primary active transport, and secondary active transport throughout. Then it shows how the countercurrent multiplier mechanism produces the medullary osmotic gradient. The extensive quiz questions include tubular permeability, predicting the effects of a diuretic drug, and a game called membrane transport trivia that can be played by two students.
Late Filtrate Processing. This topic covers reabsorption and secretion from the late DCT to the medullary collecting duct. First presented are the effects of aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone on filtrate processing in the late DCT and cortical collecting duct. The medullary osmotic gradient is reviewed, followed by changes in filtrate osmolarity as it moves through the gradient, leading to the discussion of final urine concentration. Finally, final urine volume is covered. Quizzes ask students to answer questions on the activities of various tubular regions, predict the effects of dehydration, and let students analyze various urine samples.

For Windows / Mac (Power Macintosh: OS 9 or Below) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']
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.
