The
Inner
Body page
is a good starting point that will let you examine the parts
of the body with very fundamental graphics. This is
the
American
Medical Associations
site
that references all parts of the anatomy and physiology of
the human body. This is a graphics site and takes some time
to load, but be patient the wait will be worth it.

M.I.T.
Hypertext Chapter
on
Large Molecules has a wealth of information and diagrams to
explain the fundamentals of Biochemistry. Cytology This
M.I.T.
Hypertextbook
is an
entire general cytology course. You can get all of the
details here about the structure and function relationships
in cells. The
WWW Cell Biology Course
was
begun as a site to give those interested a quick
introduction to cells, with hand drawn illustrations there
is much here for the beginning cytologist. The
University of Texas
has a
cell site for students who want a more serious presentation
of cell structure and function. Scan the curriculum document
and click on the links to the in-depth
resources. Histology The
Wadsworth Center
for
Clinical
Chemistry and Hematology at the New York State Department of
Health has a series of photomicrographs on blood that will
show you the basics of identifying cell types in peripheral
blood. Cancer
has
been a scourge to mankind since we recognized these abnormal
cell growths as deadly. Here are sites
from

that
will give you all of the information you will need to
understand and deal with a disease that is finally answering
to our science. Fetal Bone

Master Muscle List
from
Loyola has all of the muscles in the human body listed by
general area and alphabetically. The illustrations are a bit
wanting, but the list is complete. Fantastic illustrations
can be found at the University
of Washington
site of Musculoskeletal
Anatomy.
These excellent anatomical graphics will complete the mental
picture you need to locate the muscles of the human
body. The
Mechanism of Muscle Contraction This
site has listed the sequence of steps in the Neuromuscular
Event. Dissection Start
with the
Tutorial
and
then go to the
Frog
Dissection Kit.
There
are some views of the frog that are rather unusual, such as
the
Transparent
Rotating Frog Movie. The University
of Virginia's
On-Line
Frog Dissection
is the
best! You will see an "actual" frog being dissected
step-by-step with tests included.
This
Frog
Dissection
site
has excellent digital pictures of a frog's internal organs
and musculature. There is also a downloadable Power Point
presentation containing the graphics from the
site. Scientifically
speaking check out
Deformed
Frogs in Minnesota. The Unversity
of Wisconsin has a great site that contains things
"froggish" as well as the examination of other specimens.
This link will take you to an Index
Page
where
you can select the pages specifically dealing with the frog.
This site has particularly excellent pages of the frog's
internal organs and musculature. Now that you've
OD'd on frog stuff lets do
some
Comparative
Anatomy.
You will find this
Rat
Dissection
helpful
and you can compare it to
the
Frog's
Dissection.
Finally we have
a
General
Dissection
site
that contains a menu to the virtual dissection of lots of
different organisms, including the frog and rat. Check this
one out to do
Comparative
Anatomy on the Web
and to
find hundreds of other links related to Anatomy and
Physiology as well as other things
biological. The
Heart The
Heart:An Online Exploration
from
the Franklin Institute of Science will give you a good
starting point to learn about the heart and its function.
Check out the
Preview

and
surf the Institute's resources. The
Inner Body
has
a
Tutorial
on the Cardiovascular
System
that
does an in-depth look at the Heart's Anatomy and the
Cardiac
Cycle.
There are illustrations on heart bypass and other
interesting aspects of cardiac function. Electrophysiology
involves examining
ECGs
(electrocardiograms).
These
printed patterns of the heart's electrical system are good
indicators of the organs state of
health.
Pathological
conditions
are
diagnosed by the cardiologist using these tracings.
Heart Surgery

They
are interesting real life situations where you can apply
your knowledge and do some research. You may combine any two
of the studies together as an extra-credit test grade. They
must be completed according to the GUIDELINES
included with the Case Studies. Tell me which of the
studies you wish to do and I will set a date for their
submission. with

Learn
about structures and properties of sugars, lipids, amino
acids, and nucleotides, as well as macromolecules including
proteins, nucleic acids and polysaccharides. The method here
is Problem Sets that ask direct questions and offers a
Tutorial to explain the answers. Use the Tutorials freely
they are excellent.
Familiarize
yourself with some key principles about enzymes, catalysis,
and energy that are central to a study of metabolic
pathways. This section has Problem Sets that are technical,
but you might want to tackle them. Specifically look
at
