A & P Resources (BIOL 217 & BIOL 218) [Back to Contents]
  |Dr. Ross's BIOL 217 Course (A&PI)|     | Dr. Ross's BIOL 218 Course (A&PII)|

• Arteries - Text info. (Harold) Human anatomy reference online at Dartmouth. Detailed text descriptions of arteries. Includes a few illustrations.
• Cardiology CME - EKG Atlas
• Cardiology CME Main Menu

• EKG File Room
• ECG library, (12-lead)
• Heart Anatomy Tutor
• Heart rhythms tutorial introduction
• Hematopathology

"This is an interactive series of case studies designed to teach pathologists of all levels to recognize features of various hematologic neoplasms. It is hoped that this program will help bridge the gap between pathology texts, which are often complete in explanation but lacking in pictures, and study-sets of glass slides, which are visually the gold-standard, but often lack guidance through a case. We hope the case-oriented, interactive, computerized format will prove more instructive than traditional atlases."
• Overview of Thorax
• Researchers Create Visual Image of Dog's Beating Heart
• The Heart: A Virtual Exploration
• Visualization of Heart Motion
• Walkthrough of a Heart Dissection

Excellent, labeled photos of pig heart dissection. (Slow to download, but worth the wait.) A "must see" for Anatomy students (Biol 218 A&P II and Biol 212 Comp. Vert Anat.).

• Histo Web @ KUMCA "must see" for CBU's Biol 217 and 414 students.

Excellent images with captions. Organized by system. (Units may be slow to load, but it's well worth the wait.)

"Systematics is an attempt to understand the evolutionary interrelationships of living things, trying to interpret the way in which life has diversified and changed over time. While classification is primarily the creation of names for groups, systematics goes beyond this to elucidate new theories of the mechanisms of evolution. Systematics, then, is the study of the pattern of relationships among taxa; it is no less than understanding the history of all life."

"This page is intended primarily for the reading of fathers and mothers to be. I hope that students, medical practitioners and other healthcare providers will also find the information useful."
"Determination of gestational age and assessment of fetal size. Fetal body measurements reflect the gestational age of the fetus. This is particularly true in early gestation. In patients with uncertain last menstrual periods, such measurements must be made as early
as possible in pregnancy to arrive at a correct dating for the patient. See FAQ. In the latter part of pregnancy measuring body parameters will allow assessment of the size and growth of the fetus and will greatly assist in the diagnosis and management of intrauterine growth retardation."

Histology Course Resources (BIOL 414) [Back to Contents]

Dr. Ross's Histology (Biol 414) Course

• Adipose and blood Microscopic Anatomy (demo)

Units included on the demo are: Adipose tissue Tutorial, Blood Atlas, & Blood Quiz.
• Anatomy & Histology Center - Martindale's Health Science Guide
• CELLS alive!
• Hematopathology

"This is an interactive series of case studies designed to teach pathologists of all levels to recognize features of various hematologic neoplasms. It is hoped that this program will help bridge the gap between pathology texts, which are often complete in explanation but lacking in pictures, and study-sets of glass slides, which are visually the gold-standard, but often lack guidance through a case. We hope the case-oriented, interactive, computerized format will prove more instructive than traditional atlases."
• HISTOLOGY: BLOOD AND BONE MARROW REVIEW
