Human Senses (Physiology)
Experiment Kit — Lab-Aids ® No. 8
This lab activity arouses a personal interest as students experiment to identify response
areas of their body, and become aware of their sensory perception. Students “map” the
taste sensation of sweet, salty, bitter, and sour; determine their olfactory fatigue and
recovery times by inhaling different odors; actually discover that there are different
nerve endings for hot and cold as they “map” a section of skin; locate nerve endings
for touch (pressure) and pain, as well as determine the two-point threshold of various
regions of their bodies; investigate the blind spots, dominant eye, visual accommodation,
near point of vision, and afterimage; and experiment with reflex actions. Complete for 30
students. (•1) Sh. wt. 4.25 lbs.

9-Liter Student Wet Spirometer
An academic-quality, highly accurate wet spirometer that combines reliability and accuracy
with an increased volume to accommodate students with larger lung capacities.
Specifically designed to meet the needs of today’s physiology educators. Five different
respiratory volumes can be determined from measurements obtained: tidal volume (TV,
the amount of air exhaled or inhaled in normal breathing), inspiratory capacity (IC, the
amount of air which can be inhaled in a strenuous effort, after normal expiration), inspiratory
reserve volume (IRV, inspirator capacity minus tidal volume), expiratory reserve
volume (ERV, the amount of air that can be breathed out after normal expiration), and
vital capacity (VC, the total volume of maximum exhalation capacity plus tidal volume).
Features: large, easy-to-read scale graduations; larger-than-normal 9-liter capacity; disposable
mouthpieces and one-way plastic valve for sanitary classroom use; and is easy
to transport and store. High school to adult. Sh. wt. 9.02 kgs.
