What is Experimental Physiology (Ex Physio) - Series
This is a computer assisted learning package containing various programs which simulate animal experiments in Physiology. These programs can be used to perform virtual physiology experiments. The package is user friendly, highly interactive and full of animated sequences which make simulation appear realistic. The current version of Experimental Physiology (Ex-Physio) - series software consists of following computer simulated experiments:
Experiments List:

01 Effect of temperature on simple muscle twitch.
02 Effect of two successive stimuli (of same strength) on skeletal muscle.
03 Effect of increasing strength of stimuli on skeletal muscle.
04 Effect of increasing frequency of stimuli on skeletal muscle (genesis of tetanus).
05 Effect of repeated stimuli on skeletal muscle (study of phenomenon of Fatigue).
06 Determination of conduction velocity of sciatic nerve.
07 Effect of free load (pre load) and after load on skeletal muscle.
08-13. EXPERIMENTS ON HEART (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM)
