Movies, Animations and Interactive Tutorial Links Muscular System Tutorials and Animations Neurons and Synapse Action Animations and Tutorials Membrane Potentials Animations and Tutorials The Harvey Project 1. Search the actions of the muscles on your Human Muscle Examination Study Page from the The Master Muscle List site. 2. Search the excellent illustrations on the location of the muscles on your Human Superficial Muscles Examination Study Page from the Musculoskeletal Anatomy site using the On-Line Muscle Atlas. These illustrations can be copied and pasted and so can the actions from The Master Muscle List . You can make an excellent study guide for yourself using Power Point and a removable white box to cover the names of the muscles. You can type the actions on the same page and use a removable white box to cover them. This study aid would be invaluable for you to learn the muscles and their ancillary information. Or, if Power Point is not your thing, then COPY and PASTE the Human Superficials List onto a page in your word processor and fill in the action. Your choice. You will be tested on this list. I will point to each of these muscles on a chart displaying the muscles of a human and you are to write the NAME and ONE ACTION. Spelling counts as usual! 3. Go to the Anatomy and Physiology Resource Page and scroll down to the Muscle and Nerve section. Click on The Mechanism of Muscle Contraction and read about the sequence of events in the process of causing a muscle to contract. When you reach the bottom of the page use the three links there to examine the process with graphics and a different perspective. 4. This textbook on Neurobiology contains some great animations to help you understand the gating or the neuron and sarcolemma. 5. Here's Kimball's Muscle Page. 6. Kimball's Neuron Structure Page 7.
