Links:

  • Anatomy of the eye - Interactive diagram of the human eye, includes lots of clear information.  (Added: 20-Jul-2009 By: MR Hits: 102)
  • Antibody structure - A one page Unilver site with good illustrations and lots of links.  (Added: 9-Mar-2004 By: r Hits: 965)
  • Cells Alive - Excellent pictures + some notes on cells, antibiotics, parasites, microbes  pop   (Added: 11-Sep-1998 By: RS Hits: 3072)
  • Centre for Human Simulation - The Gallery page should be the first port of call at this site. It contains highly original, and startling, images of the skeleton and some internal organs for project work at key stage 4. The fact that they are effectively 'real' only serves to make them more dramatic. It should be possible to view the sample images without the need for extra software.  (Added: 15-Dec-1998 By: rs Hits: 1934)
  • Cow's eye dissection - A good primer for a complete dissection. Printable files can be downloaded (if you have AcrobatReader). RealAudio is also included to descibe what's going on. Good links to other sites & a glossary as well! (BBC)  (Added: 3-Nov-1998 By: rs Hits: 1352)
  • Diabetes - An "Australian-International" site on "all you need to know about Diabetes".  (Added: 27-Dec-1998 By: r Hits: 1292)
  • Digital Anatomist Interactive Brain Atlas - An exhaustive site which would provide support materials for any work on the nervous system although the dense medical terminology may limit use. The site is saved by marvellous 3-dimensional graphics which will motivate the key stage 4 student to progress further and view the many animations. These are large files which may be slow to download.  (Added: 19-Jan-1999 By: rb Hits: 1060)
  • Frog Dissection - For anyone with an interest in biology this site offers: A free online dissection based lesson, available to teachers and students. A learning resource for those who may not have the means for a lab. A launching site for more educational content. A launching site for thesis based research. An ecological tool to help limit over-use of frogs in dissection.  (Added: 23-Aug-2002 By: WM Hits: 1084)
  • GetBodySmart - An online examination of human anatomy and physiology.  (Added: 22-Oct-2002 By: SS Hits: 1837)
  • Give and Let Live - This is a well presented site which includes a large number of potentially very useful resources. These encompass detailed lesson plans and a number of very detailed downloadable PowerPoint presentations. These could be used in Science lessons to illustrate many points regarding the human body. The lesson plans include starters, whole class activities and extension work.  (Added: 28-Mar-2009 By: DP Hits: 77)
  • HON Media Gallery - The HON (Health on the Net) Media Gallery offers a searchable database of medical movies and images. It includes x-rays, movies of surgery, articulation and various media. An excellent site which provides dozens of useful images.  (Added: 9-Mar-1999 By: DP Hits: 1106)
  • Medical Media Group - Really designed for doctors, this site has a number of good and well illustrated articles about various parts of the anatomy including foot, shoulder and back, along with common medical problems associated with these areas.  (Added: 25-Jan-2001 By: DE Hits: 860)
  • Meiosis Tutorial - An easy to understand guide to meiosis with good pictures and even animations (needs QuickTime 3). Perhaps rather strangely there is little/no mention of crossing-over!  (Added: 8-Nov-1998 By: r Hits: 1296)
  • Muscling Your Way around the Web - An excellent gateway site. If what you really want is to understand the eccentricities of actin, the mysteries of myosin - in short, the basic biology of muscle - other sites will give you better places to start. The Introduction to Muscle Physiology and Design from the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) provides a general overview entitled Introduction to Muscle that hits the scientific highlights of the neuromuscular system. It starts with development and progresses through muscle-fiber structure, muscle architecture, control of contraction, and biomechanical strength. In addition, it includes separate pages on 16 other muscle-physiology topics such as fibre types, fundamental functional properties of skeletal muscle, and muscle-joint interactions. Written at a fairly basic level, mostly text with a few explanatory diagrams.  (Added: 9-Aug-2002 By: S Hits: 1992)
  • National Blood Service - includes information on how and where to donate, information on the NBS and the ‘Blood Zone.’ The latter includes quizzes from Billy Blood Drop and exerts from one of Nick Arnold’s Horrible Science books. The Blood Zone is suitable for KS2/3 whereas the information is suitable for older students.  (Added: 30-Apr-2001 By: DP Hits: 835)
  • Nerves and Brains (for kids) - Don't despair of the 'for kids' title; it's almost up to 'A' level standard and has a long series of easy chapters that are themselves easy to navigate. It's written in the American folksy/apple pie style - but don't be patronised.  (Added: 24-Sep-2003 By: r Hits: 1078)
  • RealAge - A website that enables you to determine your true biological age of your body. In addition the site provides advice on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle.  (Added: 4-Mar-2002 By: PH Hits: 941)
  • School of Nursing Learning Objects - The tables on this page list Learning Objects developed, being developed, or proposed by staff in the School of Nursing at the University of Nottingham, sorted alphabetically by title. The Learning Objects cover a wide range of biological-based concepts, including the liver, kidneys, metabolism and osmosis. Many will be suitable for use with level three students. Extensive use is made of Shockwave.  (Added: 5-Apr-2005 By: DP Hits: 736)
  • Virtual Dissections - Index page to 'Virtual dissections"". Dissect cats, sheep, frogs, eyes etc!  (Added: 11-Jan-1999 By: r Hits: 1290)
