Dear friends! The Virtual Physiology program is a virtual model with multimedia elements that is as close to reality as possible. They are designed to study the physiological processes of the human and animal organisms in a virtual laboratory. The proposed simulators imitate classical experiments in physiology and allow you to conduct experiments in a virtual laboratory aimed at deepening theoretical knowledge. After conducting virtual experiments, the program provides an opportunity to analyze the data with their subsequent interpretation, which contributes to better assimilation of the material and with the possibility of repeating experiments an infinite number of times.
The program allows you to visually study the physiology of the heart (SimHeart and SimVessel) conducting pharmacological experiments. To do this, you will be introduced to the surgical procedure for preparing an isolated rat heart and isolating an isolated vessel. After that, you will move to a virtual pharmacology laboratory with simulators, where you will prepare the necessary solutions used to modulate the work of the heart. At the next stage, you will move to a virtual experiment, where you will be able to change the work of the heart and smooth muscles in real time, using various pharmacological effects and studying the nervous and humoral regulation of cardiac and smooth muscle activity.
Virtual workshops SimNeuron, SimNerv and SimMuscle allow you to study electrophysiology using classical approaches to the study of the mechanisms of "live electricity". The programs make it possible to study the occurrence of the resting potential, action potential, postsynaptic action potential, the conduction of electrical impulses along myelinated and unmyelinated fibers, as well as the mechanisms of skeletal muscle contraction.
