What is Ex Physio Experimental Physiology Software

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:
