.: All Students :.

My notes are in .pdf format. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 installed on your computer to read and print the notes. If you do not have Acrobat Reader, you may download it from the Adobe website.

List of useful prefixes, roots, and suffixes.

Note that you can check more than one answer for each question if appropriate. When you are finished, and have your results, look at the 'helpsheets' for each learning type. Hope it helps you!

Here's a workbook that I think may be helpful for some of you. It is NOT required. Marieb, Anatomy & Physiology Coloring Workbook.

.: Anatomy Links :.

http://www.slccanatomy.com/ to SLCC Anatomy Lab Schedule and Terms Lists.

Histology:
Here's a link to the Tyler Junior College A&P lab web page. It has great histology slides and other diagrams.

Here's a link to a site with some great histology practice activities on it.

Here's a link to a patholigist's site with a great introduction to histology. If you click 'start learning' on the page, and scroll through all of the slides, it will give you an great overview of normal histology and an introduction to some pathologies, such as cancers.

Animations: Links to animations I use in class. You'll need a flash player to view these.
Meninges
CSF flow
Dural venous sinuses

Nervous System:
Truly wonderful link to the 3D Brain site, with great information on most sections of the brain. I will use this in class. It's from Cold Spring Harbor's DNA Learning Center, and is very good quality.

PALS website or DVD: This CD is fantastic for practicing for lab practicals. I will be using it in lecture. It has practice with cadavers, lab models, and histology. There is also an online version you can buy instant access to, if you choose.

Embryonic Stem Cell Information:
• Shaw J. 2004. Stem-cell science: When medicine meets moral philosophy. Harvard Magazine. July-August: 36–45.

• National Institutes of Health resource for stem cell research: Lots of information here: http://stemcells.nih.gov/

.: Physiology Links :.

Here are some links to the animations I use in class.

Sodium/Potassium pump

Voltage-gated Channels and Action Potentials

Chemical Synapse

Muscle contraction: watch these four in order

1. Neuromuscular Junction (a sub-type of chemical synapse)

2. Action Potentials and Muscle Contraction

3. Crossbridge Cycling and ATP

4. Sarcomere contraction (with changes in banding patterns)

Signal Transduction Mechanisms: Intracellular Receptors

Signal Transduction Mechanisms: Plasma Membrane G-protein Receptors: This is a little different from the one I showed in class, but it's a little better as well

Cardiac cycle animation

Conducting system of the heart (SA, AV node and heartbeat initiation)

Baroreceptor control of blood pressure

Chemoreceptor control of blood pressure

Pressure changes and ventilation (I didn't show this one, but it may help; note PB = Patm)

External and Internal Respiration

Here's a link to one of the books I have used for information about drug action: Click here

Here's a link to the History Channel specials (no need to buy them, they come on pretty often) "Hooked: Illegal Drugs and How They Got That Way"

Here's a link to the American Academy of Pediatrics position paper (May, 2001) entitled "The Use and Misuse of Fruit Juice in Pediatrics."

Here's a link to the NIH Type 2 Diabetes Prevention Campaign webpage.
