| Introduction to LabChart |
Learn about the PowerLab Data Acquisition System while making recordings and measurements using the LabChart software and Finger Pulse Transducer. |
| Blood Pressure |
Become familiar with auscultation (listening to the sounds of the body) and the measurement of blood pressure. |
| Cardiovascular Effects of Exercise |
Compare an electrocardiogram, finger pulse, and blood flow recorded during rest and after exercise. |
| Dive Response |
Investigate the effects of the dive response on heart rate and peripheral circulation in humans during simulated dives. |
| ECG & Heart Sounds |
Record and analyze an electrocardiogram to examine the relationship between the cardiac cycle and the sounds of the heart. |
| ECG & Peripheral Circulation |
Measure pulsatile flow of blood through the finger and correlate it with the electrocardiogram, palpate various arteries, and examine peripheral circulation. |
| Electroencephalography |
Record an electroencephalogram to determine the difference between interfering signals and brain waves and examine the effects of visual activity on alpha rhythm in the brain. |
| Electromyography |
Explore the electrical activity of skeletal muscle, the theory of coactivation, and nerve conduction velocity. |
| Electro-oculography |
Investigate the principles of electro-oculography while recording different types of eye movements. |
| Introduction to Exercise Physiology (Kit) |
Use spirometry and gas analysis as techniques for recording respiratory variables and determining the metabolic rate based on oxygen consumption. |
| Introduction to Exercise Physiology (System) |
Use spirometry and gas analysis as techniques for recording respiratory variables and determining the metabolic rate based on oxygen consumption. |
| Introduction to Respiration |
Learn about various aspects of breathing, including the ability to hold the breath, hyperventilation, and rebreathing. |
| Muscle Stimulation & Fatigue |
Explore muscle function through stimulation and fatigue. |
| Reflexes & Reaction Times |
Explore reflexes in response to a variety of stimuli as well as changes in reaction time under a variety of conditions. |
| Respiratory Airflow & Volume |
Use the Spirometry Extension to record respiratory variables and derive respiratory parameters. |
| Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia |
Explain the physiological purpose of respiratory sinus arrhythmia. |
| Sensory Physiology |
Familiarize students with their senses, sensory and related phenomena, and some sensory illusions. |
