Not only will you be able to pick up fun freebies as you visit the different tables, but you can enter to win grand prizes. We hope to see you there!
These illustrative animations on human physiology are divided into sections that include “Muscle”, “Endocrine”, “Circulatory”, and “Digestive”.
Some section include material as short tutorials, fun quizzes, and explanatory sections that talk about the key processes within each system. While written at a pre-med level, it may be useful as review/study aid material for med students, nursing students, and others students in allied health fields.
Shockwave/Director is needed to access animations. The site has a link to the free download.
