Physiology

Use probeware to assess physiological responses and immediately see the connection between response, number tables and data graphs.

Microbes and Health

 
Bacteria are in the air and all over. Though most are harmless, those that make us sick (germs) can make use VERY ill. Handwashing may be the most effective way to protect yourself.

Bacteria and viruses can be transmitted through intimate contact, causing deadly diseases such as anthrax, AIDS and hepatitis.

Microbes are also important in food production, especially, cheeses, yopgurt, bread, beer and wine!
