The Essentials of Interactive Physiology CD-ROM uses activities and animations from the award winning Interactive Physiology series. Co-developed by Benjamin Cummings and adam.com®, Interactive Physiology has been providing students with content-rich, interactive experiences since 1995. The detailed animations in Essentials of Interactive Physiology have been chosen specifically for students using Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, by Elaine N. Marieb. These activities will help bring physiological concepts to life, allowing students to understand them, rather than just memorizing them. Fun, interactive quizzes test students' knowledge of the material they have learned. Also included on the CD-ROM are quizzes and tests specific to the 8th edition of Elaine N. Marieb's Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology. Essentials of Interactive Physiology covers seven major topic areas: Table of Contents |
