Modeling of Physiology Systems Megan Davis Lauren Shipp Advisor: Mel Joesten

Background Model for VSVS class presentations and others Digestive system and pulmonary system Visual aid and physical model

Project Description Create hands-on learning experience for concepts involving physiology Have models be flexible for various audiences

Previous Work Students are taught physiological concepts through textbook information and diagrams Students often have a difficult time fully grasping physiological concepts

Goals Flexible user-friendly model Easy to transport Detailed but not overly comprehensive Conveys physiology in an easy to understand way Safe/durable

Methods Outline physiological systems Brainstorm ideas for representation and materials Experiment with prototypes Test Build Models Model approval from advisor Adjustments Produce final models
