In this learning activity you'll review the structure and function of the different tissues of the human body.
"I Want to Be Well" Case 1: Respiratory Pathogens
By Dawn Madl
In this learning activity you'll observe information and formulate an evaluation that includes diagnosis and microorganism identification.
Physiological Events at the Neural Synapse
In this learning activity you'll review information on the neural synapse.
The Food Pyramid
By Michele Williams
In this learning activity you'll explore the food pyramid and the recommended services.
Virus Particles: Structure and Function
By Kristine Snow
In this learning activity you'll assembles parts of a virus and match virus terms and descriptions.
The Sense of Smell
In this animated object, learners trace the olfactory pathway from the nasal cavity to the olfactory cortex.
Anatomical Terminology: Body Regions
Students identify the various regions of the human body through drag-and-drop exercises.
Biomolecules - The Lipids
In this animated object, learners examine neutral fats, phospholipids, and cholesterol. The molecular formula and general function for each are shown.
Biomolecules - The Proteins
In this animated object, learners read an introduction to protein structure and function.
The Stress Response
In this animated object, learners read a brief description of the roles of the hypothalamus, emotions, and adrenal secretions during the stress response.
Eukaryotic Cells: Assembling the Cell
In this interactive object, learners read the definitions of the parts of a cell and assemble a basic eukaryotic cell in a drag and drop exercise. A matching quiz involving cell terms and their definitions completes the activity.
The 12 Cranial Nerves
In this interactive and animated object, learners read a description of the number, name, and function of the cranial nerves. A matching quiz completes the activity.
The Four Types of Chemical Reactions
In this animated object, learners examine synthesis, decomposition, exchange, and reversible reactions.
The Cell Cycle
In this animated object, learners examine the different phases of a cell's life.
The Unipolar and Multipolar Neurons
Learners examine the location, structure, and function of the unipolar and multipolar neurons.
Transport Processes Requiring ATP
In this animated object, students observe how ATP energy is used to move substances across the cell membrane from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration and when something too large needs to get in or out of a cell.
Muscle Cell Contraction
In this animated activity, learners examine muscle cell contraction and relaxation and consider the role of calcium ions.
Passive Transport: Filtration and Facilitated Diffusion
In this animated object, learners examine processes that do not use ATP directly including hydrostatic pressure and facilitated diffusion with carrier proteins.
The Actions of Hormones
In this animated object, learners compare the mode of action of steroids with the action of amino acid-based hormones.
The Sense of Taste
In this interactive object, learners examine the structure and function of the sense of taste.
Ascending Tract: The Posterior White Columns
In this animated activity, learners view the pathways and functions of the fasciculus gracilis and the fasciculus cuneatus.
Respiratory System Gas Exchange
By Bruce Forciea
In this animated object, learners examine the mechanisms for gas exchange among the lungs, blood, and tissues.
The Structure of the Muscle Organ
In this animated object, learners examine the various connective tissue layers of the muscle organ. The terms "prime mover," "synergist," "antagonist," "origin," and "insertion" are defined.
An Overview of Pulmonary and Systemic Circulation
By Wendy Dusek
In this animated and interactive object, learners examine how blood flows through the heart and lungs. A brief quiz completes the activity.
