REACH High School Physiology

The iWorx REACH High School Physiology System is an all-in-one lab kit designed specifically for high school anatomy and physiology classes. It provides students with hands-on experience through over 15 core experiments covering cardiovascular, neuromuscular, and respiratory physiology. ​

  • Includes REACH Physiological Recorder and LabScribeDL Software

  • Comes with 5 snap leads and 50 ECG/EMG/Respiration electrodes

  • Step-by-step lab manuals aligned with HAPS Learning Goals

  • Quick setup with pre-calibrated sensors

  • Experiments such as ECG recording, breathing &

    body position analysis, and oxygen saturation measurement​


    This system is ideal for educators seeking a comprehensive, easy-to-use solution to teach fundamental physiological concepts. The REACH-DL system is keyed to the HAPS Learning Goals and Outcomes. Labs that can be performed with this system are

Heart / Cardiovascular

  • ECG: Rest & Recovery – Record ECG and study how exercise affects heart activity.

  • ECG: Exercise & O₂ Saturation – Explore the connection between ECG and blood oxygen levels.

  • ECG: Temperature & Arm Position – Investigate how temperature and limb position affect circulation.

  • Diving Reflex – Examine pulse changes during the mammalian diving reflex.

Muscle / Neuromuscular

  • Grip Force – Measure muscle fatigue using EMG during gripping tasks.

  • Muscles in Opposition – Compare EMGs of opposing muscle groups.

  • Electrooculogram (EOG) – Track eye movements during visual tasks.

  • Electrogastrogram (EGG) – Compare stomach activity before and after meals.

  • Targeted Exercise – Confirm muscle activation during specific exercises.

Reflexes & Reaction Time

  • Eyes vs. Ears – Determine whether visual or auditory stimuli trigger faster responses.

  • Color Test – Measure reaction time to different colors.

Breathing / Respiratory

  • Rest & Recovery – Analyze breathing depth and rate at rest and post-exercise.

  • Exercise & O₂ Saturation – Measure respiratory changes and oxygen levels with activity.

  • Breathing & Body Position – Assess how posture affects respiratory patterns.

  • Activities & O₂ Saturation – Monitor oxygen saturation during various breathing conditions.

Psychophysiology

  • EEG: Cortical Arousal – Explore how brain wave activity relates to alertness.

  • Stroop Effect – Study cognitive interference using color-word association tasks.
