Interactions

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
