To further address the challenges instructors face in teaching students with varied backgrounds and learning styles, the Media Update now includes all nine of the award-winning InterActive Physiology® CD-ROM tutorials.  The book features Chemistry Review boxes that provide additional resources for students who need them, and Toolboxes and Discovery boxes that allow instructors the option to delve into more detail about physiology topics. Every new copy of the Media Update edition now includes an additional  InterActive Physiology® Digestive System Upgrade CD-ROM (which extends this highly effective learning tool to nine body system modules), as well as access to an expanded Physiology Place website and PhysioEx™ 6.0 online laboratory simulations.

PhysioEx™ 6.0 for Human Physiology consists of 13 modules containing 40 physiology lab simulations that may be used to supplement or substitute for wet labs. This easy-to-use software allows students to repeat labs as often as they like, perform experiments without harming live animals, and conduct experiments that may be difficult to perform in a wet lab environment due to time, cost, or safety concerns.
