An interactive, menu-driven and easy to use program, which simulates
a number of experiments performed on the frog sciatic nerve preparation
to illustrate some of the important properties of mixed nerves.
High-resolution graphic simulations of compound nerve action potentials,
derived from real experimental data, are displayed on a simulated
oscilloscope screen. Experiments include;
- stimulus voltage/response relationships,
- investigation of refractory period,
- measurement of conduction velocity,
- effects of temperature and action of a local anaesthetic.
Each experiment is prefaced by introductory text, and each experiment
has associated assignments. The package includes a manual,
tutor's guide and student workbook. |
