A&P 2 Links

ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY II 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.

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.

Check out the cat anatomy tutorial site! Pictures of our own beloved cats are available from http://student.ccbcmd.edu/~elathrop/kitty/kittypics.htm.

Circulation Links:

Heart Tutorial: http://www.gwc.maricopa.edu/class/bio202/cyberheart/cardio.htm

Blood
-- Having trouble with blood typing? Try this fun game (link provided by one of your classmates).
-- Having trouble understanding anemia in general? Try this link. This link is a rather nice discussion of pernicious anemia and its effects.
-- Deep vein thrombosis led to death of an American Report in Iraq. The link includes information about causes and problems associated with DVT.

Wireman Circulatory model - including labels for most vessels and a diagram of the model that can be colored in. http://science.tjc.edu/images/vessels-model/Index.htm

Barostat, a "game" created by students in the Internet & Multimedia Technology Program (IMMT) under the guidance of Dr. Robert Resau, CCBC-Essex. This game allows the student to examine the effects of Vagul stimulation, vasomotor tone (vasoconstriction), adrenaline (epinephrine/norepinephrine), and sympathetic innervation to the heart. It's fun, too!

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.
