Phagocyte Chemotaxis
By Carol Parent-Paulson
This animated object illustrates the events leading to the migration of phagocytes into areas of tissue damage and/or bacterial presence. Learners view bacterial cell phagocytosis, its subsequent enzymatic digestion, and exocytosis.
The Cell Cycle
In this animated object, learners examine the different phases of a cell's life.
Red Blood Cells
In this animated and interactive object, learners examine the red blood cell's life cycle and function. A brief exercise completes the activity.
Conversions in Nursing Math
By Barb Hummel
Learners quiz themselves on the conversion factors within and between the metric, apothecary, and household systems.
Metabolic Pathways
By Elizabeth Yoon
In this screencast, learners categorize different metabolic activities as catabolic or anabolic and follow a glucose molecule through the processes of glycolysis, aerobic respiration, and fermentation.
Lifecycles of Animals and Plants
In this animated activity, sexual reproduction in animals is contrasted with the alternation of generation lifecycle of plants.
Summary of Energy Yield During Cellular Respiration
By Becky Polk-Pohlman
Learners review a graphic summary of the three series of reactions that occur during cellular respiration and the net energy (ATP) yield of that process.
Nervous and Epithelial Tissue
In this colorful, interactive object, learners examine nervous and epithelial tissue composition and function. A quiz completes the activity.
The Unipolar and Multipolar Neurons
Learners examine the location, structure, and function of the unipolar and multipolar neurons.
The Upper and Lower Motor Neurons (Screencast)
In this screencast, learners examine the function and location of the motor neurons and the damage that can result when they are injured.
Protein Synthesis (Video)
In this video, you'll review how every protein molecule of an organism is synthesized.
The Fungi Kingdom: Common Characteristics of Fungi
Learners examine what defines a fungus and read how fungi differ from animals and plants.
A Typical Animal Cell
By Gerald Heins
In this interactive object, learners identify the parts of an animal cell and its organelles.
The Actions of Hormones
In this animated object, learners compare the mode of action of steroids with the action of amino acid-based hormones.
Helpful Microbes in Your Daily Life (Screencast)
In this screencast, learners read how microbes in such items as yogurt, bread, insulin, and insect sprays improve our lives.
The Zygomycetes (Screencast)
In this screencast, learners examine the lifecycle of fungi including asexual and sexual reproduction. Learners test their knowledge by identifying a diagram.

Carbohydrate Digestion (Screencast)
By Wendy Dusek
In this screencast, learners examine the steps of carbohydrate digestion.
Superficial Skeletal Muscles (Screencast)
In this screencast, learners read descriptions of the actions of the superficial skeletal muscles and see their locations.
The Ascomycetes
In this interactive and animated object, learners examine the characteristics, ecological importance, and lifecycle of the ascomycetes of the fungi kingdom.
The Plant Kingdom: An Introduction
Learners read about the mutations that occurred in plants for the successful transition from an aquatic to a terrestrial existence. The classification of plants is based on these adaptive structures.
The Juxtaglomerular Apparatus
Explore the location, structure, and function of the juxtaglomerular (JG) apparatus.
