HISTOLOGY ADDITIONS

The following site has great slides on the tissues, as well as complimentary audio, games, trivia...you name it. Sarah Bellham has done a wonderful job on this site and actually makes learning histology fun and interesting. Check out her compilation to prepare for that lab test!

Don't forget to look at the archived blogs in March. There are a whole host of sites that may be helpful.

LAB/MODEL IDENTIFICATION

Following are a compilation of websites that show detailed anatomy of the various systems that will be on the last lab exam:

Digestive System

Endocrine System

Integumentary System This one Marie found. It's a great resource!
http://www.ouhsc.edu/histology/

Check out the lab models on this site!

Another great site that has a variety of human models to study, many of which are labeled:

and they just keep getting better....this one is amazing:

ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

Following is a collection of videos on the endocrine system:

An endocrine system tutorial from Pearson that is pretty comprehensive:

A tutorial on the exocrine glands:
http://www.zoology.ubc.ca/~biomania/tutorial/exogland/outline.htm

Take an online quiz or two on the endocrine system:

http://msjensen.cehd.umn.edu/Webanatomy/endocrine/default.html

Let's not forget Marian Diamond at UC Berkeley. This link contains 3 0r 4 lectures on the endocrine system. It starts with #36, but it seems to be in the middle of a lecture. I think that the end of #35 may contain the missing info. Search for it on Youtube and leave a comment if you find the missing piece.

Several links to anatomy sites:

This site is compliments of McGraw Hill and contains some great interactive tutorials as well as quizzes and flashcards. Terrific resource!
