This activity allows students to explore and reflect on circadian rhythms in themselves, influences of their lifestyle on those rhythms, investigate them in a scientific manner, and draw conclusions of their findings in a lab report format with data tables and graphs.A 2+ week take home lab activity with a lab report and graphs at the end. Can be used to explore the scientific method, physiological cycles, and how to share scientific knowledge.

The urinary system includes the kidneys, the ureters which join the kidneys to the bladder, the bladder itself and the urethras which permit urine collecting in the bladder to be excreted - a process termed micturition. Understanding the physiology of kidney function is key when looking at the diseases that occur in this organ, and the anatomy of all the structures within the urinary sytem is significant as a foundation to understanding the pathology which affects them.

This video takes a look at how we divide up the abdominal area (Anatomy & Physiology Lectures). Specifically we look at breaking the abdominal area into 4 and 9 sections.

Syllabi and Lab Exercises for SCI 201: Anatomy and Physiology I. This course is designed to provide students with a basic understanding of the structure, function and disorders of the human body. Topics include an overview of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems, as well as a discussion of tissues and special senses. A three-hour lab session is required each week. Course materials written by Maria Carles and Georgia Thoidis, content uploaded to OER Commons by Victoria Vidal.

Body Positions in relation to Anatomical Position, is a concept that all Anatomy and Physiology students need to grasp early on in their studies (Anatomy & Physiology Lectures). In this video we take a look at how we talk about positions on the body.

Guaranteed to be in every Anatomy and Physiology 1 class, the organ systems sets the foundation for the study of systemic anatomy and physiology lectures.

This is lesson 4 in the Free Introduction to Human Anatomy and Physiology lessons found at mrfordsclass.net. Also in these lessons you will find lecture notes from my class and exam reviews. Check it out.

A reflex arc represents a mechanism by which a physiological function is automatically managed or regulated. Reflex arcs can be found throughout the body, ranging from skeletal muscles to smooth muscle in glands. Reflex arcs are initiated via the excitation or stimulation of specific sensory cells that are directly connected to motor neurons thus enabling motor nerve impulses to be automatically passed on to that particular muscle or gland. Therefore a basic reflex arc consists of sensory cells and their associated nerve fibers, motor nerve fibres and the ultimate muscle or gland.

Short Description:
This manual is a guide for anatomy and physiology laboratory exercises.

These HyperDocs are intended to be used as standalone lab resources for an online Anatomy & Physiology 1 Lab.Within the Study Activities section at the end of each document, the red, bolded, and capitalized words are meant to be replaced at the instructor's discretion.

Gives an overview of the anatomy and physiology of mammalian and avian animals' alimentary systems.

Pulmonary Physiology for Pre-Clinical Students is an undergraduate medical-level resource for foundational knowledge of pulmonary physiology. This text is designed for a course pre-clinical undergraduate medical curriculum and it is aligned to USMLE(r) (United States Medical Licensing Examination) content guidelines. The text is meant to provide the essential information from these content areas in a concise format that would allow learner preparation to engage in an active classroom. Clinical correlates and additional application of content is intended to be provided in the classroom experience. This resource should be assistive to the learner later in medical school and for exam preparation given the material is presented in a succinct manner, with a focus on high-yield concepts.

Respiration
Respiration has 3 phases:
1. Pulmonary ventilation - movement of air into and out of the lungs
2. External respiration - exchange of gases b/n lungs and blood
3. Internal respiration - exchange of gases b/n blood and tissues

Pulmonary ventilation consists of
1. Inspiration - inhalation, movement of air into lungs
2. Expiration - exhalation, emptying air from lungs into atmosphere

Pulmonary Ventilation
[Section 22.3.2: Pulmonary Ventilation]
[Figure 22.17: Inspiration and Expiration]

For pulmonary ventilation to occur, the pressure in the thoracic cavity must be different from atmospheric pressure
• Inspiration is an active process, it requires the contraction of several muscles to change volumes and pressures
• Expiration is passive, muscles relax, thoracic wall and lungs recoil, air moves out

Lung Volumes and Capacities
[Section 22.3.3: Respiratory Volumes and Capacities]
[Figure 22.18: Respiratory Volumes and Capacities]

A Spirometer measures respiratory volumes
• Tidal Volume* is the amount of air inhaled or exhaled during normal resting breathing
• Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) is the amount of air forcibly inspired above normal inhalation
• Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)* is the amount of air forcibly expired after a normal exhalation
• Vital Capacity* is the maximum amount of air exhaled from lungs after maximum inhalation
* can be measured directly with spirometer
IRV can be calculated from the VC, TV, and ERV:
VC = IRV + ERV + TV à IRV = VC – ERV – TV

The respiratory system always contains some air
• The Residual Volume is the amount of air that cannot be forcefully exhaled from the lungs
• Total Lung Capacity is ~ 6,000 ml; TLC = VC + RV
• Minimal Volume is the amount of residual air that stays in the lungs even after collapse
• Respiratory Rate is the number of breaths taken per minute
• Minute Volume amount of air exchanged b/n lungs and environment in 1 minute: MV = TV x RR

This zipped folder contains 28 Power Point files that correspond to each of the chapters in the OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology textbook. These are meant to provide a starting point for presentation files related to an Anatomy and Physiology course. The design should be easily modified using the “design” tab in Microsoft Power Point. The end user should be able to quickly choose a template/color scheme that works for them. Additionally, the end user may want to add or remove text from each power point slide. This can easily be accomplished by simply editing the document. Most of the images used in the creation of these Power Points are taken directly from the OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology textbook. Supplemental images pulled from elsewhere include a small textbox with a link to the original work and the CC license terms.

The rumen is the first chamber of the ruminant stomach. It is the largest chamber and has regular contractions to move food around for digestion, eliminate gases through eructation and send food particles back to the mouth for remastication. The rumen breaks down food particles through mechanical digestion and fermentation with the help of symbiotic microbes. Volatile fatty acids are the main product of ruminant digestion.

The omasum is the third chamber in the ruminant stomach. It lies within the intrathoracic part of the abdomen so cannot be palpated manually. Instead it is examined by ausculation. The omasum has biphasic contractions which squeeze fluid out of the food before allowing the ingesta to continue into the abomasum. Absorption of volatile fatty acids continues in the omasum.
