How the Brain Develops (Screencast)
By Mary Beth Boettcher
In this interactive learning object, learners study the parts of the brain and then test their knowledge in a drag-and-drop exercise.
The Sense of Smell
In this animated object, learners trace the olfactory pathway from the nasal cavity to the olfactory cortex.
The Organization of the Human Body: Body Cavities
In this interactive object, learners examine the locations of major body cavities and their protective membranes. A drag-and-drop exercise completes the activity.
The Four Types of Chemical Reactions
In this animated object, learners examine synthesis, decomposition, exchange, and reversible reactions.
Muscle and Connective Tissue
In this colorful and interactive object, learners examine the structure and function of muscle and connective tissues. A quiz completes the activity.
Physiological Events at the Neural Synapse
In this learning activity you'll review information on the neural synapse.
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 Unipolar and Multipolar Neurons
Learners examine the location, structure, and function of the unipolar and multipolar neurons.
A Typical Animal Cell
By Gerald Heins
In this interactive object, learners identify the parts of an animal cell and its organelles.
Nervous and Epithelial Tissue
In this colorful, interactive object, learners examine nervous and epithelial tissue composition and function. A quiz completes the activity.
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.
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.
Carbohydrate Digestion (Screencast)
By Wendy Dusek
In this screencast, learners examine the steps of carbohydrate digestion.
Summary of Energy Yield During Cellular Respiration
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.
Superficial Skeletal Muscles (Screencast)
In this screencast, learners read descriptions of the actions of the superficial skeletal muscles and see their locations.
The Actions of Hormones
In this animated object, learners compare the mode of action of steroids with the action of amino acid-based hormones.
Glucose Metabolism for the Endocrine System (Screencast)
In this screencast, learners read about the seven hormones that help regulate blood glucose.
The Vertebral Column
Learners read a brief description of the vertebral column and examine the distinctive features of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae.
The Two-Neuron Knee-Jerk Reflex Arc
In this interactive object, learners examine the neuron pathway into and out of the spinal cord. They complete the activity by testing their knowledge of vocabulary and the location of spinal cord structures.
Blood Groups
In this animated and interactive object, learners examine ABO blood antigens and Rh antigens and their compatibility.
Anatomy of the Ear
By Donna Matusewic
The student identifies the anatomical parts of the ear and learns the purpose and function of these parts. A review follows the lesson.
