In this interactive object, learners will match the muscle names to their corresponding locations in the human body.

The user completes a fill-in-the-blank exercise to review the anatomy of the heart.

In this animated object, learners examine neutral fats, phospholipids, and cholesterol. The molecular formula and general function for each are shown.

In this animated object, learners examine the structure and function of intracellular and extracellular fluid. They also read about the most common electrolytes in the body and complete a matching exercise to test their knowledge.

In this animated and interactive object, learners examine the structure and functions of granulocytes and agranulocytes. Two exercises complete the activity.

Learners play a vascular system "game" to identify the arteries, capillaries, and veins that make up the renal blood supply pathway. A score is given at the end of the activity.

Learners review and reinforce their knowledge of brain anatomy and function. They complete an exercise matching brain terms with their functions.

In this animated object, learners examine the different phases of a cell's life.

In this learning activity you'll observe the growth of gram negative organisms and determine if they're lactose positive or negative.

Learners examine the function of each part of a microscope and follow step-by-step instructions on how to focus on a specimen. They also review the proper use and care of a microscope and test their knowledge in two drag-and-drop exercises.

In this animated object, learners view the "T" and "P" waves and the "QRS complex." A brief quiz completes the activity.

In this animated activity, learners practice listening and counting the apical pulse of adults, children, and infants.

In this interactive object, learners read a case study and consider the signs and symptoms of schizophrenia and the appropriate nursing interventions.

Learners review common terms associated with cardiovascular anatomy and physiology by working a crossword puzzle. Immediate feedback is provided after each term.

Learners use peripheral vascular assessment data to examine characteristics of these four conditions: peripheral arterial disease, deep vein thrombosis, chronic venous insufficiency, and acute arterial occlusion. A matching exercise completes the learning object.

In this animated and interactive object, learners examine ventilation, external and internal respiration, and gas transport.

Students read and test themselves on the conditions that cause specific acid/base imbalances.

In this interactive learning object, learners study the parts of the brain and then test their knowledge in a drag-and-drop exercise.

This learning object will help the student identify normal blood cells and their functions. This will include the identification of red blood cells, five types of white blood cells, and platelets.

Students read about the importance of the Apgar score in assessing the newborn after delivery. Each sign of the Apgar score is identified with illustrations to help the student recognize the proper rating.

In this interactive object, learners sort antihypertensive medications into categories. Descriptions are provided.

In this interactive exercise, learners review definitions of 26 terms and then test their knowledge in a matching exercise. Only six terms are included in the quiz; however, if the learner clicks “Restart,” more terms appear in random order.

In this animated object, learners examine synthesis, decomposition, exchange, and reversible reactions.

In this animated object, learners compare the mode of action of steroids with the action of amino acid-based hormones.

In this animated activity, learners examine muscle cell contraction and relaxation and consider the role of calcium ions.
