Anatomy and Physiology

A Visual Introduction to Human Anatomy

Use the Visible Body Learn Site's text, illustrations, and animations to learn a communicate basic human biology concepts.

The Skeletal System
Learn about the function of the skeleton and the different types of bones, ligaments, cartilage, and joints maintain the shape of the body.
The Muscular System
Content includes an overview of the different types of muscles and how they interact with the skeleton and nervous system to allow the the body to move, and all the systems to function, like breathing.
The Circulatory System
Learn about the parts of the circulatory system like the heart, as well as the route and function of blood in the body. Also includes an overview of common diseases and blood disorders.
The Respiratory System
Learn about the parts and processes of the respiratory system, as well as common diseases and disorders that affect healthy respiratory function.
The Digestive System
Take a look at the ins and outs of how digestion works, including how various glands of the body help along the process. Also, learn about about some common digestive-related disorders like GERD and gallstones.
The Lymphatic System
Learn how various organs and vessels that make up the immune system work together to protect against infections and filter toxins from the bloodstream.
The Urinary or Renal System
Learn how the kidneys function as part of the renal system to produce urine and filter toxins out of the body.
The Reproductive System
Learn about the process of human reproduction, as well as male and female reproductive systems.
The Nervous System
Learn about the key parts and functions of the body's nervous system, sensory perception, as well as how parts of the brain process information.
The Endocrine System
Learn about different glands throughout the body and how hormone levels effect processes like sleep, metabolism, and diabetes.

Visualizing Human Physiology

In this program, the complex physiological system of the human body are introduced - muscular movement, digestion, circulation, respiration, nerves, glands, immunity, and reproduction. The cellular basis of life, and the importance of carbon in organic chemistry are illustrated and explained.

Introduction to the Human Machine
In this program, the complex physiological system of the human body are introduced - muscular movement, digestion, circulation, respiration, nerves, glands, immunity, reproduction and more.

Miracle of the Human Body

The human body with its interconnected systems is the most advanced structure in the known universe. It is a marvel of biomechanical engineering. World renowned surgeon, Dr. Mark Reisman, guides the viewer through each of the body's major systems, using the most advanced medical imaging, 3-D graphics and cadaver footage. Each program reveals the anatomy and physiology of a particular system in a way never seen before and clearly relates its functioning to our everyday life.

General Search Tips

Begin your research with an initial search in Primo, and then explore subject-specific databases for more targeted results.
Utilize Boolean search terms to enhance your search effectiveness: AND narrows results to those containing both search terms; OR expands results to include either search term (not necessarily both); and NOT eliminates results containing the specified term.
Commence with a general search, refining it to become more specific as needed. If you possess a basic understanding of your desired focus, search using a broad term and narrow it down based on available resources.
Examine the subject terms and keywords used in the articles you discover. If they appear relevant, consider incorporating them into your search terms. Should your results be too extensive, add supplementary search terms to refine your inquiry further.
To search for a specific phrase, enclose it in quotation marks. This ensures the search engine looks for the exact phrase, rather than each word individually. For instance, searching "To be or not to be" will yield that precise phrase, rather than individual words.
To locate a word or phrase within an article PDF, e-book, or webpage, use the CTRL and F keys to open a search box that scans the text within a document. Remember to maintain a formal tone and employ an informative writing style in English throughout your research process.
