Topics covered include: heart physiology, intrinsic conduction system, cardiac action potential, cardiac cycle, cardiac output, anatomy review of blood vessel structure and function, measuring blood pressure, blood pressure regulation, autoregulation and capillary dynamics.
A-7	A.D.A.M. RESPIRATORY SYSTEM (Hybrid Win/Mac Educational CD-ROM)	$ 110
	In addition to the anatomy review of the respiratory structures, this disc covers pulmonary ventilation, gas exchange, gas transport and control of respiration.
A-8	A.D.A.M. URINARY SYSTEM (Hybrid Win/Mac Educational CD-ROM)	$ 110
	An anatomy review (with graphs, animation, sound, video and interactive quizzes) is featured on this disc with glomerular filtration, early filtrate processing and late filtrate processing.
A-9	A.D.A.M. NINE MONTH MIRACLE (Hybrid Win/Mac Educational CD-ROM)	$ 75
	'Nine Month Miracle' is the winner of Newsweek Magazine's prestigious 'Editor's Choice' award. This fascinating multimedia journey into the miracle of pregnancy and childbirth focuses on fetal development with dramatic in-body photography by Lennart Nilsson. Detailed, accurate animations provide incredible insight on how major organs and systems develop. Ultrasound and stages of labor are covered with information on nutrition, exercise, testing for fetal development and use of alcohol and drugs during pregnancy.
A-10	BLOOD AND IMMUNITY (Hybrid Win/Mac Educational CD-ROM)	$ 155
	The first part of this program teaches students about the components of blood, blood types and the process of blood, while the second introduces the components and processes of the immune system. Also included in this educational CD-ROM are blood and immune system disorders with information about HIV, AIDS and AIDS prevention. A pre-test, post-test, interactive tutorial exercises and a readily accessible online glossary of terms make 'Blood and Immunity' a challenging and entertaining learning tool.
A-11	THE DIGITAL FROG (Hybrid Win/Mac Educational CD-ROM)	$ 188
	The Digital Frog utilizes video, animation, sounds, narration, text and images to teach dissection, anatomy and ecology of the frog in a fully interactive educational CD-ROM. A workbook guides students through the disc and is an excellent study guide. This award winning CD-ROM is an excellent example of what new technology and ingenuity can do for education.
A-12	HYPER CLINIC (Windows Educational CD-ROM only)	$ 73
	Students are presented with realistic case studies that include a history and description of signs and symptoms. They are then challenged to order appropriate diagnostic tests, evaluate results and conclude with a diagnosis. A diagnostic module incorporates animations, audio, video, text and illustrations to demonstrate the methods and underlying principles of diagnostic tests. Each case study is organized according to the organ system affected and actual laboratory data. Results provide realistic exposure to the clinical laboratory for a cost effective clinical experience and a real world supplement to classroom learning.
