New iWorx Foundations of Human Physiology Lab Manual

A new laboratory manual designed for use in Human Anatomy and Physiology courses has been released by iWorx.   The iWorx Foundations of Human Physiology Laboratory Manual–Version 1
(P/N IFHPLMV1) includes 15 experiments from which students learn about the effect of everyday activities upon electrocardiograms (ECG), heart rate, blood pressure, reflexes, muscle strength, electromyograms (EMG), breathing rate, lung volumes, and electroencephalograms (EEG). The manual is written for use with the new LabScribe2 data recording and analysis software, and it includes a tutorial experiment designed to acquaint users with the features of LabScribe2 that will be used in the other experiments in the manual. 

Just like the new iWorx Physiology Laboratory Manual–Version 4
(P/N IPLMV4) included in the new LabScribe2 installer, the experiments in the Foundations Manual include: digital photographs of the devices used in the experiment and their configuration; tables displaying the settings used to perform the experiment; analysis routines that use simplified tools; and, the organization of the supporting material and settings file for each experiment into chapters that can be designed by the instructor.
