| Description | Sat Curves is a Mac computer program that allows the user to demonstrate the effects of pH, PCO2, DPG, and temperature on the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve. Two graphs are displayed so that one can serve as a control and compared with the other. Cursors on both graphs can be manipulated to obtain exact readings of oxyhemoglobin saturation as specified PO2s. | |||

Students are directed through a computer simulation that provides a physiology laboratory exercise where students can explore oxyhemoglobin saturation curves. Through different scenarios, students can examine factors that effect the oxyhemoglobin dissociation and compare physiological consequences by simultaneously making comparisons to a control dissociation curve. Instructions on how to run the program are very clearly written and helpful and the exercises pose good questions that are physiologically relevant.
