Teaching and Learning Supplements



Teaching and Learning Supplements

McGraw-Hill offers various tools and technology products to support the ninth edition of Human Physiology. Students can order supplemental study materials by contacting their campus bookstore. Instructors can obtain teaching aids by calling the McGraw-Hill Customer Service Department at 1-800-338-3987, visiting our A&P catalog at www.mhhe.com/ap, or contacting your local McGraw-Hill sales representative.

For Instructors

Digital Content Manager
This multimedia collection of visual resources allows instructors to utilize artwork from the text in multiple formats to create customized classroom presentations, visually based tests and quizzes, dynamic course website content, or attractive printed support materials. The digital assets on this cross-platform CD-ROM are grouped by chapter within easy-to-use folders.

Art Library Full-color digital files of all illustrations in the book, plus grayscale versions of the same artwork, are housed in the Art Library. These files can be readily incorporated into lecture presentations, exams, or custom-made classroom materials.

Photo Library The Photo Library folder contains digital files of instructionally significant photographs from the text, which can be reproduced for multiple classroom uses.

Table Library Every table that appears in the text is saved in electronic form.

PowerPoint The Digital Content Manager supplies two types of PowerPoint files for each of the 20 chapters of the text. PowerPoint Lectures are ready-made lecture presentations that combine art with lecture outlines. These lectures can be used as they are, or can be tailored to reflect your preferred lecture topics and sequences. PowerPoint Image Slides present all art, photos, and tables from each chapter preinserted into blank PowerPoint slides for ease of use.

In addition to the assets found within each chapter, the Digital Content Manager for Human Physiology contains the following multimedia instructional materials, organized by topic.

Active Art Library Active Art consists of art files that have been converted to a format that allows the artwork to be edited inside of Microsoft PowerPoint. Each piece of art inside an Active Art presentation can be broken down to its core elements, grouped or ungrouped, and edited to create customized illustrations.

Animations Library Numerous full-color animations illustrating physiological processes are provided. Harness the visual impact of processes in motion by importing these files into classroom presentations or online course materials.

Instructor’s Testing and Resource CD
This cross-platform CD provides a wealth of resources for the instructor in one convenient place. Supplements featured on this CD include a computerized test bank utilizing McGraw-Hill’s EZ Test testing software to quickly create customized exams. This user-friendly program allows instructors to sort questions by format, edit existing questions or add new ones, and scramble questions for multiple versions of the same test. Microsoft Word files of the test bank are included for those instructors who prefer to work outside of the test-generator software.

Other assets on the Instructor’s Testing and Resource CD include the Instructor’s Manual, Instructor’s Manual for Laboratory Guide, Student Study Guide, and answers to the end-of-chapter questions from the text.

Transparencies
A set of 350 transparency overheads includes key pieces of line art from the textbook. Images are printed with better visibility and contrast than ever before, and labels are large and bold for clear projection.

Laboratory Manual
The Laboratory Guide to Human Physiology: Concepts and Clinical Applications, Eleventh Edition, by Stuart I. Fox, is selfcontained so students can prepare for laboratory exercises and quizzes without having to bring the textbook to the laboratory. The introduction to each exercise contains cross-references to the pages in this textbook where related information can be found. Similarly, those figures in the lab manual that correspond to full-color figures in the textbook are also cross-referenced. Both of these mechanisms help students better integrate the lecture and laboratory portions of their course. The manual provides laboratory exercises, classroom tested for a number of years, that reinforce many of the topics covered in this textbook and in the human physiology course.

Online Learning Center (OLC)
The Human Physiology Online Learning Center at www.mhhe.com/fox9 is a comprehensive website created for instructors and students using the Fox textbook. For details about the student assets included on this site, please refer to the inside front cover of this book. The Online Learning Center allows instructors complete access to all student features, as well as exclusive access to a separate Instructor Center that houses downloadable and printable versions of traditional ancillaries, plus additional instructor content. Contact your McGraw-Hill sales representative for your instructor user name and password.

Course Delivery Systems
With help from our partners WebCT, Blackboard, Top-Class, eCollege, and other course management systems, professors can take complete control over their course content. Course cartridges containing Online Learning Center content, online testing, and powerful student tracking features are readily available for use within these platforms.

For Students

MediaPhys
This student tutorial CD-ROM features interactive modules for each body system, plus extensive quizzing, animations, and learning activities. The program’s friendly and educational environment allows students to:

  • Navigate through physiological systems via detailed graphics, animations, and sound
  • Explore concepts in a logical order from simple or more complex
  • Visualize physiological processes and their relationships
  • Test comprehension using quizzing and skill builder features

MediaPhys helps students truly understand the concepts of the human body rather than simply memorizing them.

Online Learning Center (OLC)
The Human Physiology Online Learning Center at www.mhhe.com/fox9 offers access to a vast array of premium online content to fortify the learning experience. Essential Study Partner A collection of interactive study modules that contains hundreds of animations, learning activities, and quizzes designed to help students grasp complex concepts.

Live News Feeds The OLC offers course-specific real-time news articles to help students and instructors stay current with the latest topics in physiology.

Online Tutoring A 24-hour tutorial service moderated by qualified instructors. Help with difficult concepts is only an e-mail away!

In addition to these outstanding online tools, the OLC features quizzes, interactive learning games, and study tools tailored to coincide with each chapter of the text. Turn to the inside front cover to learn more about the exciting features found on this student resource.

Physiology Interactive Lab Simulations (Ph.I.L.S.)
The Ph.I.L.S. physiology interactive lab simulations CD-ROM offers several laboratory simulations that may be used to supplement or substitute for wet labs. Students can use Ph.I.L.S. to adjust variables, view outcomes, make predictions, and draw conclusions. This easy to use software offers each student the flexibility to change the parameters of the lab experiment. There is no limit to the amount of times a student can repeat the experiments or change variables within the experiment. The Ph.I.L.S. CD-ROM allows students to perform experiements without having to use expensive lab equipment (like Biopac IWORX or Intellitool). Students can work individually to perform the experiments on their own time without harming themselves or live animals.
