The bones of the skeleton are highlighted here.  Difference between cardiac, smooth and skeletal muscle.  Finally, here is a chart that lists a few of the major muscles we will look at.


For those of us interested in seeing muscles in a cadaver you can explore here.

Muscle Contraction Physiology

This link represents the diagram of a muscle cell.  View an animation of how muscle fibers contract here.  This Youtube video shows the importance of ATP in the contraction of muscles. 

Renal Anatomy

Check out the PPT here that breaks down the Renal System.  The link to the movie is on the last slide.

QUIZ WED October 27th - Urine output lab begins

HUMAN BIOLOGY  - quiz on simple sugars and proteins this Wednesday-Friday depending on if/when you are  leaving campus.  See this link for further detail (Digestion of Molecules Quiz).  Also, beginning this week and weekend, students will start collecting data for the excretory system.  See this link for further detail (Excretory Lab).  The and videos for the digestive system have been added under the menus to right.

Human Biology - WT - QUIZ TUESDAY 9/21

There will be a quiz on the subject of a Respiratory System on tuesday 9/21.  Please review class notes, PowerPoints, movies, lab activities, etc...

QUIZ MONDAY - 9/13 - Respiration and its effect on blood pH

There is a quiz on Monday that will cover what we have learned in class to date.  For those of you who misplaced your notes, there are copies of the PowerPoint presentations used in class to the right of this blog.  You can click on the links and either preview the documents or download them and print them out or save them to your computer.

There are also a few links under HELPFUL LINKS that you may want to look at to brush up on Cellular Respiration (where the carbon dioxide comes from).

Remember to bring your lab data and procedure to class on Monday.  We will continue to work on the write-up.

Enjoy the weekend.
