Virtual Cat pharm

The Virtual Cat belongs to The Strathclyde Pharmacology Simulations package that simulates pharmacological experiments on isolated tissues or whole animals. A range of drugs in varying concentrations can be applied and the effects observed. The Virtual Cat is a simulation of an anaesthetised cat experiment - a whole animal preparation which is used as a tool for screening the actions of pharmaceutical compounds on the cardiovascular and skeletal muscle systems. The simulation displays the effects of drugs on the cat's blood pressure, heart rate, skeletal muscle and nictitating membrane contractions.

Installation information is available on this page.

Please see OBSIM (Organ Bath Simulation), The Virtual RatCVS, The Virtual Nerve, The Virtual Twitch, EPSim (Rat Brain Slice Epilepsy Simulation) and The Virtual NMJ (Neuromuscular Junction) for the other simulations in this package.
