## What is Physiology & Pathology?

Discover what happens when physiology fails. Work through interactive lessons that explain the step-by-step breakdown of common cardiovascular, renal, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and musculoskeletal processes. Physiology & Pathology covers 48 physiology topics and 57 conditions, with 50 lessons, more than 5,800 3D models, 38 animations, 16 illustrations, and 26 quizzes.

-Compare 3D models of normal anatomy to models of common diseases and conditions
-Set the heart rate and visualize conduction in a dissectable, beating 3D heart, and follow along on an ECG
-Watch animations that present to the physiological processes of gas exchange, pulmonary ventilation, fluid balance, peristalsis, and more
-Walk through interactive lessons to understand the progression of atherosclerosis, kidney stones, lung cancer, and other common conditions
-Test your knowledge of various physiological processes and pathologies with quizzes

"I can’t wait to teach with this—it is the first time I have seen heart conduction, blood flow, ecg, and heart contractions all together!"

Associate Professor of Biology
Metropolitan State University

### 1/5 — Echt gemein

*2025-11-10*

Leider ist da nichts auf deutsch große Enttäuschung. Spezifisches muss alles dazugekauft werden.

### 5/5 — Medical Assistant

*2025-02-09*

Love it!!!!

### 5/5 — いいいい良いいいいいいいい

*2024-12-06*

iiiiiiiiiiiii

### 5/5 — 怎么闪退啦👀

*2024-05-13*

很适合在你家的时候看到了这个节目的感觉真好了我真的好喜欢这个节目的呢我们的综艺节目都是这么多的我们的期待了吗我们的综艺节目都是这么多的我们的期待了吗我们都已经看到了这个节目真的是很激动🤩，我们的感情就没有这么简单都不会有人在意别人说不喜欢这个世界没有什么地方没有我也没关系…………可以吗就不用啦，幽门杆菌的感觉真的不错😌👌👌👌👌，我们家宝宝一直觉得有种感觉总想知道是什么样子的感觉真的很想你啦，

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2024-05-03*

Don’t waste your time and money

### 2/5 — Decent

*2023-11-02*

Lacking lots of content and crashes constantly otherwise it’s good

### 2/5 — 語言

*2023-10-16*

語言を日本語に選択しても、字幕は出るものの動画の説明が英語なので字幕を読むか動画を見るかになる。

### 4/5 — Recht nett

*2023-04-16*

Die App ist sehr umfangreich und detailliert. Allerdings gibt es zwei Minuspunkte. Zum einen stürzt die App regelmäßig ab, vor allem nach dem Anschauen von Videos. Und zum zweiten sind die Videos auf englisch. Da erwarte ich für 30€ deutsche Sprache. Schade.

### 1/5 — Stürzt oft ab…

*2023-04-04*

Videos können oft nicht zu Ende angeschaut werden, weil die App ständig abstürzt. (System auf neuestem Stand) Ich habe extra das große 3er Paket gekauft, in der Hoffnung möglichst viele Animationen und Videos zu haben. Das ist leider nicht der Fall. Man muss sehr viel extra kaufen. 
Für knapp 60€ keine Kaufempfehlung. Die Abstürze sind seit längerem bekannt und es wurde nicht behoben.

### 1/5 — DON’T BUY IT

*2022-11-23*

This app is out of date and lacks a great deal of content related to pathology and physiology. I’m dissatisfied and regret paying for this app. I hope the developers can update the app and add sufficient content. Otherwise this app should be taken down by apple due to its ridiculous price. There are numerous other apps to spend you’re money on and this is definitely not one. I hope this review reaches to the customers, so they don’t end up in my place.
