HISTOLOGY/NERVE TISSUE

This site comes to you via the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine. This is a comprehensive histology site, complete with virtual slides. This one is a keeper.
http://www.siumed.edu/~dking2/index.htm

Following is a direct link to the virtual slidebox. Click on the Histology Atlas and work your way towards the tissue's you'd like to observe under the virtual microscope.

BAA BAA POOR SHEEP

Baa, Baa poor sheep have you got a brain?
no Sir, no Sir, they're dissecting it again...

This is a site for the study of the sheep's brain. It is brief, but worth taking a look at:
http://www.exploratorium.edu/memory/braindissection/

Another couple of sites that may be of interest:
http://www.csus.edu/org/nrg/carter/NeurosylActive/sheepbrain/sheepExt.htm

This one is great and the one I used in class to compare with the real sheep brain.
http://www.gwc.maricopa.edu/class/bio201/brain/brshpx.htm
This is from the same college, but it is a tutorial of the human brain complete with an MRI image of the mid-saggital head.
http://www.gwc.maricopa.edu/class/bio201/brain/BrainModelMap.htm

I found this video rather gross...but it was informative. Perhaps it is the scooping of the brain with a spoon that was so disturbing. Actually, dissection itself is fascinating, but disturbing.

HAVE A HEART...

The following links will take you to several sites that show great views of the sheep's heart:
http://fp.dl.kent.edu/hyork/cshhrt1.htm

http://www.gwc.maricopa.edu/class/bio202/heart/anthrt.htm

This one is a terrific tutorial (turn your speakers on) that walks you through the dissection and labeling of a sheep's heart. The first part is slow, but picks up after the professor explains some of the initial dissection aspects to the class.

HUMAN ARTERIES AND VEINS/ILLLUSTRATIONS

It took a little bit of searching, but I found a few sites that have great illustrations showing the arteries and veins. Take a peek and see what you think. The first link has an incredibly long URL, but it has tons of anatomy and physiology info on it. Double click on the image on the left and you should be able to save and print it.

This one has a few nice diagrams:

This site is pretty detailed as it comes from the Department of Bioengineering, but it has a few great illustrations of arteries and of veins. There is also a few diagrams of the heart which are very clear.

THE HUMAN HEART

Once again Marian Diamond takes you on a tour of the human body. Follow this link to hear a lecture about the structure of the heart, valves, and the cardiac cycle.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FScPwj_Wdc Cardiology

Lectures 12, 13 and 14 are on hematology.

lectures 16 and 17 are on the vascular system

lecture 18 is the lymphatic system and chapter 19 is the respiratory system.

Plug in UC Berkeley anatomy when you search YouTube and these lectures will come up.

PROFESSOR FINK'S CAT DISSECTION VIDEOS

Professor Fink is awesome! During his dissections he shows you the actions (by moving the cat), tells you origins and insertions, and throws in a little bit of humor.
Excellent videos!

Here is a fairly decent video explaining the muscles of the eye and their actions.

HEART CONDUCTION SYSTEM

Here a several videos and links for the electrical system of the heart:

The following is a great tutorial on the Cardiac Conduction system. Pretty easy to understand. If you click on "view all animations" it will take you to a large compilation of cardiac tutorials, as well as a variety of other types of medical animations.
