Sinopsis

Interactions is a series of CD-ROMs (or DVD) focusing on the examination of physiological processes within each system of the body, using animations and interactivity to enhance student understanding.  There is a great deal more to Interactions than your usual A&P CD-ROM.  At the heart of Interactions is a focus on core principles – homeostasis; communication; energy flow; fluid flow; and boundaries – that underscore the key relationships between structure and function as well as interrelationships between systems.  It is the reinforcement of these fundamental organizing principles, to which a variety of processes and concepts for each system is attached, that sets this series of CDs apart from others. 

There are nine CDs in the series.  These include:

  • Foundations
  • Regulations: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems
  • Support and Movement: The Skeletal and Muscular Systems
  • Distribution: The Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems
  • Disease Resistance: The Integumentary, Lymphatic and Immune Systems
  • Energy Acquisition and Use: The Digestive System and Metabolism
  • Gas Exchange and pH Balance:  The Respiratory System
  • Balancing Fluids and pH: The Urinary System
  • Continuity: The Reproductive System and Development

Reseña del editor

Animations -- Key physiological processes are brought to life. The CD contains a number of animations that help students comprehend key processes that change over time. The animations in Foundations are focused on cellular and molecular processes. Anatomy Reviews - Illustrations, histology, and cadaver photographs linked to function. These reviews aid student understanding of the processes and the anatomical features that are important in these processes. Interactive Exercises -- Relate to the animations and actively reinforce knowledge that has previously been studied. These exercises help reinforce critical thinking and problem solving skills. These exercises also present the students with a useful tool for gauging their understanding of the important concepts. Clinical Correlations - Provide relevancy to concepts and content. Not found in other software programs this extremely helpful to those students who are going on to study for a profession in allied health. This helps the students relate to the concepts they are studying. Concept Maps and Links - Promotes critical thinking - link content to the big picture. Not found in other programs, this helps students develop key problem solving skills Flexible Navigation - Dynamic tools allowing quick access to content the way you want it. The program is designed to let the user access the exact content when they need it. A number of Functionality tools including Presentation Values and Tools, a Notebook Feature and links to course websites, Blackboard or WebCT. Quality, Consistent, Solid Content - Written by instructors who have decades of experience teaching Anatomy and Physiology. These authors continue to teach and are familiar with the needs of today's students. Authoritative and Innovative Art Program - illustrated by medical illustrators and not just graphic artists. This is reflected in the high attention to detail and the intricacies found at the cellular and molecular level.
