The Essential Physiology Lab Manual: A Practical Physiology Lab Manual for Non-Physiology Professors

Empowering Physiology Education with iWorxThis manual was designed with a singular goal: to bridge the gap between foundational anatomical knowledge and hands-on physiological experimentation using iWorx data acquisition systems. As anatomy professors, your expertise in structure lays the groundwork for understanding function—but integrating real-time physiological data can bring dynamic insights to your students and transform lab experiences from static to active data collection.Whether you're leading your first iWorx-based lab or refining your approach, this guide serves as a practical and approachable companion. You will find:🔬 Step-by-step protocols for labs focused on the key physiological systems including: cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular, and neural.🧩 Visual aids and screenshots to reduce the intimidation factor of new tech and support deeper learning.👥 Recommendations for student engagement, highlighting how to encourage inquiry and scientific reasoning using real data.💡 Tips for navigating the LabScribe software, with attention to how to configure, record, and interpret data for educational purposes.Each lab is carefully designed to support instructors with limited background in data acquisition and to emphasize pedagogical clarity. We know that starting something new, especially involving technology, can feel daunting. But we've found that the most powerful learning happens when educators take a curious step forward.Welcome to a new dimension of exploration. We’re excited to help you unlock the tools that let your students see physiology in action. Read more
