Life Science Animations Videotape Series

A set of videotapes from William C. Brown Publishing Company is available for student use in the NSEC. You will need to ask the instructor or assistant to unlock the videotape cabinet. Please check door schedule for available dates and times. Most of the concept segments are 5-10 minutes in length or shorter. In the current Physiology text (Human Physiology, Stuart Ira Fox) on page xix is a guide that correlates the videotapes with each chapter. The name and contents of each tape is listed below.
