Anatomy & Physiology

Designed to help students understand the relationship between physiology and their personal lives. This laboratory-based text allows students to experience a variety of topics within the field of physiology and to develop essential skills used by scientists when conducting investigations. These include observing phenomena, measuring objects, organizing information, recording and graphing data, and analyzing results. All exercises are interesting, enlightening and inexpensive (requiring only the simplest of common household equipment, such as string, rulers, and straws), and all provide opportunities for individual investigation.

• Gives students insight on how investigations are conducted and introduces them to the study of basic physiological concepts and how their bodies work.

• ‘Background and Terms,’ start each major exercise section and discusses the specific areas to be studied in the exercises, (i.e., Exercise 5: Endocrine and Reproductive Physiology begins with an overview on hormones, feedback regulation of hormone secretion, thyroid hormone, cortisol, and testosterone.)

• Contains a range of physiological exercises and experiments, including:

  • How our heart rate responds to sudden upright posture.

  • The effects of direct and indirect heat on blood flow.

  • Calculating the force required to lift a given weight at a specific angle.

  • Renal physiology—the effects of exercise, low blood volume, dehydration and high salt diet on filtration.

Exercise 1: Incorporating Statistics into Physiology Experiments.


Exercise 2: The Single-Case Study.


Exercise 3: Cardiovascular Response to Exercise.


Exercise 4: Respiratory Response to Changes in Position.


Exercise 5: Endocrine and Reproductive Physiology.


Exercise 6: The Effect of Temperature on Blood Flow.


Exercise 7: Reflexes.
