Metabolic Pathways
By Elizabeth Yoon
In this screencast, learners categorize different metabolic activities as catabolic or anabolic and follow a glucose molecule through the processes of glycolysis, aerobic respiration, and fermentation.
Blood Groups
In this animated and interactive object, learners examine ABO blood antigens and Rh antigens and their compatibility.
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.
The Vascular System of the Kidneys
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.
Body Sections and Divisions of the Abdominal Pelvic Cavity
In this animated activity, learners examine how organs are visualized in three dimensions. The terms “longitudinal,” “cross,” “transverse,” “horizontal,” and “sagittal” are defined. Students test their knowledge of the location of abdominal pelvic cavity organs in two drag-and-drop exercises.
