ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY 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.

Web Anatomy (by the University of Minnesota) has laboratory "quizzes" on all body systems.

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.

The Dental School at USC has slides of Epithelial Tissues, Dense & Loose Connective Tissues, Cartilage, Blood, Bone, Muscle and Nervous Tissues. The best thing to do is to learn the characteristics of the types we look at in lab. They also have a wide variety of slides available from organ systems that are useful to A&P II students. 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.

This site has an animation of the Kreb's cycle in which the entire cycle is shown and the animation runs in the box on the lower right. An animation of the electron transport chain can be viewed at a different site. These two processes are linked by FAD/FADH2 and NAD/NADH+H

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.

Not sure what that term means? Try this on-line medical dictionary: http://www.dictionarybarn.com/

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://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://anatomy.uams.edu/anatomyhtml/neuro_atlas.html - nice images, but perhaps a bit more detailed than you'd like.

http://www.psych.ualberta.ca/~ITL/Resources.html - the starting point for many good resources including the brain and action potentials
