Saunders. Copyrights have reverted to Professor O'Rahilly who has been involved in the project to keep this resource available. The site is hosted at Dartmouth with his permission and with the support of the technical resources of Dartmouth Medical School and Dartmouth College." The chapters are divided into topics such as: General Anatomy, The Upper Limb, The Lower Limb, The Thorax, The Abdomen, The Pelvis, The Back, and The Head & Neck. There are quick links to figures, a glossary, and other related material. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=691746 'You probably have a general understanding of how your body works. But do you fully comprehend how all of the intricate functions and systems of the human body work together to keep you healthy? This course will provide that insight. By approaching the study of the body in an organized way, you will be able to connect what you learn about anatomy and physiology to what you already know about your own body.By taking this course, you will begin to think and speak in the language of the domain while integrating the knowledge you gain about anatomy to support explanations of physiological phenomenon. The course focuses on a few themes that, when taken together, provide a full view of what the human body is capable of and of the exciting processes going on inside of it. The themes are:Structure and function of the body, and the connection between the two.Homeostasis, the body’s natural tendency to maintain a stable internal environment.Levels of Organization, the major levels of organization in the human organism from the chemical and cellular levels to the tissues, organs and organ systems.Integration of Systems, concerning which systems are subsets of larger systems, and how they function together in harmony and conflict.Developed with best practices in applied learning theory, this course offers an active learning experience for any student in the form of pre-tests, ample practice opportunities, 3D interactive images, walkthrough videos, and other special tools and applications that will increase your comprehension of anatomy and physiology. Ultimately, your understanding of the material offered in this course will provide you with a solid foundation to explore careers in the health and fitness industries.' http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=630701 ״Anatomy and Physiology is a dynamic textbook for the yearlong Human Anatomy and Physiology course taught at most two- and four-year colleges and universities to students majoring in nursing and allied health. A&P is 29 chapters of pedagogically effective learning content, organized by body system, and written at an audience-appropriate level. The lucid text, strategically constructed art, inspiring career features, and links to external learning tools address the critical teaching and learning challenges in the course.Color is used for pedagogical effect in A&P. Most art will consist of elegant black line, with the strongest line illustrating the most important structure(s) and shading used to show dimension and shape. Color (used only when needed) highlights and clarifies the primary anatomical or functional point of the illustration. Student focus is drawn to the most important learning point in each illustration, without distraction from excessive gradients, shadows, and loud highlights. The online book provides students with links to surgical videos, histology, interactive diagrams, and cadaver imagery at critical junctures.״ http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=650408 Open etext of Human Anatomy and Physiology.
