Links to useful sites. Several have animations giving an
excellent
overview of material covered in
lecture.
The "Biology animations" site below has a wealth of information
about
biological molecules (DNA), cellular respiration,
body systems, the immune system(lymphatics), and much more. The site
"Pathophysiology of the digestive system" is another excellent site that you
will find useful when we talk about the digestive system. Also note the
extensive directory of animations associated with the Na+K+ pump link.
Enjoy.
