Hey gang,

As promised, here's the links to the muscle websites I used in class today:

1.  A nice overall review of muscles can be found here.

2.  This site covers the stimulus and the way calcium is used on the molecular level.

3.  This is a nice animation for how sarcomeres (overlapping muscle proteins) contract.  It is a bit annoying though, because it keeps asking for you to set-up a trial membership

Gang, here's the link to the Chi square site that I found helpful when reviewing.

Happy spring break!

I hope you're enjoying yourself over break.  Rest up and have fun.

I heard a great radiolab about learning and delayed gratification that you might enjoy.  Here's the link.

Don't forget, I'd like you to do the reading in the book about muscles (section 42.6).

See you soon.

Hello troopers.

Here's a couple of things that might be of interest to you.

The heart animation I used in class is here. This is an excellent review of anatomy for us

This is a pretty cool novel treatment for ligaments, cartilage, and the like. A good application of our knowledge of blood components.

Here's the link to the site on foraging behavior.  Please review this and be prepared to explain how bluegill change their behavior as the environment changes.

Don't worry.  Its really simple.

Please read this section on the genetics of honeybees. How does this help to explain altruistic defense by the workers?
