A&P I Links

ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY I LINKS

Have you found good A&P links while surfing the web? Please feel free to send them in!

General Links - may be useful to students in both A&P I and A&P II.

Reviews of aerobic and anaerobic metabolism are avialable at Metabolism Review with animations or Metabolism Review PowerPoint.

The University of Wisconsin A&P Lab Website has for annotated images relevant to A&P II (and A&P I). Unfortunately, this site may experience periods when it is not available.

Additional histology sites can be found through the A&P main page histology page.

Brookdale Community College has consented to allowing to use their lab webpages. Many of their models closely resemble ours and should prove useful to you.

Check out "Artificial Anatomy" from the Smithsonian Museum of American History, featuring a game locating body parts on papier mache models.

Tips for Success in Anatomy & Physiology - read what others have done to pass A&P I. These are "tried and true" suggestions from real students. (Thanks to the students in A&P II, Spring 2002, for their efforts in providing these suggestions.)

Check out the animations on this site (some are kind of goofy). You can slow them down by dragging the cursor under the picture to the right. Unfortunately, the animation and its explanation are not in the same window.

Not sure what the term is or how to pronouce it? Try the references in bartleby.com

Not sure what kind of learner you are? Take the VARK test on-line. They even give you study tips appropriate to the type of learner that you are.

Nurse Directories on: The Nurse Friendly Humorous, Funny Nursing and Medical, Terminology Links -- For when you need a laugh to ease the tension of studying.

Biology Tutorials - Created by Dr. Gary Kaiser, these tutorials are helpful for general biology topics and immunology (resistance).

http://daphne.palomar.edu/ccarpenter/Models/model%20index.htm - another nice, general link with models for many units.

Skin Links (Right click to open in a new window; the first 3 are the best)

http://www.anatomy.dal.ca/html/Human%20Histology/DHD/Lab10/Laboratory10.html - several pages of slides; many of which are labeled

http://casweb.cas.ou.edu/pbell/Histology/Outline/skin.html - has a number of unlabeled skin slides

Brain Links:

http://library.thinkquest.org/TQ0312238/cgi-bin/view.cgi - a cool site with structures, functions, etc.

http://www.crump.ucla.edu/software/lpp/clinpetneuro/function.html#Function

http://home.earthlink.net/~denmartin/kb-1.html "You have to keep clicking CONTINUE to the next BRAIN TUTORIAL to get to the next page and after the first few pages, it gets really good." (from one of your fellow students)

http://medlib.med.utah.edu/WebPath/HISTHTML/NEURANAT/NEURANCA.html#5 - real brain images; pay most attention to the sagittal sections.

A brain tutorial is available from the Psychology Electronic Teaching Source. Be aware that they use some terms that are different from the terms you will learn in lab. Sometimes they use the Latin name whereas we use the English (e.g., the intermediate mass is the massa intermedia). Sometimes the function given isn't as detailed as what we used or just different (e.g., the fornix which connects the hypothalamus and hippocampus is said to be involved in aggressive behavior and limbic functions).

http://www.neurophys.com/EMG/Cranial_Nerves/ - another good picture of cranial nerves

http://training.seer.cancer.gov/module_anatomy/unit5_3_nerve_org2_pns.html - has nice descriptions and a picture showing the relationship between the cranial nerves and the areas they serve

http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/introb.html#bb - a site designed for kids; all you might want to know about the brain (and then some).

Eye/Ear

Eye model with answers available - http://www.bio.psu.edu/faculty/strauss/anatomy/nerv/exteye.htm

You now have access to a Histology Tutorial (BIOL201, developed by Diana Curley, formerly of CCBC). Check it out by logging onto WebCT. (See any of the Anatomy faculty if you need help with your WebCT ID.) The tutorial should be listed on the left side of the page. You must close ALL browser windows to exit WebCT.
