Two Simple Electrophysical Preparations Using Grasshoppers
These grasshoppers can be used to investigate various nerve impulse, electrical stimulation resulting in muscle contraction, strength of muscle contraction, and biomechanics of the knee joint some selected applications.
Nervous System
Video discusses the nervous system. It shows what the nervous system is responsible for. It discusses what the nervous system is made of, how big it is, and what it controls. It is called the nervous system because it is made of billions of nerve cells. The brain is divided into the right side and the left side. It also shows the different parts of the brain.
The Anatomy of the Central Nervous System
This is an excellent, concise video giving information through simple animation and commentary. A quote from the video: "The nervous system is a complex network of nerve cells and nerve fibers spread throughout the body. Its function is to interpret, store, and respond to information received from inside and outside."
Human Regulation: Nervous System: Nerve Function and Reflexes
Professor George Wolfe discusses nerve function and reflexes in human regulation in this video from Thinkwell's online Biology series. The video uses lecture format along with notes and illustrations on a white board. Run time 10:28.
Magic School Bus Makes a Stink
Join Ms. Frizzle and the class as they discover the secret to what makes things smell as they hope to win first prize in the First Annual Smell Search contest at school. This Magic School Bus video teaches the following concepts: Odor travels through the air to our nose, where special nerve cells sense them and report them to our brain. Run time 22 minutes.
How the Body Works: The Cell
Look at some of the parts of the cell, and see how they work together, to make this basic building block of all animal life - the cell. Key vocabulary words include: ovum, tissues, organs, nerve cells, muscle cells, liver cells, cell support, nucleus, DNA, RNA, cytoplasm, cell membrane, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, lysosomes, centrioles, and golgi complex. Run time 03:10.
Action Potential
Very detailed explanation of the nerve impulse within a muscle. Shows how the action potential reaches the synapse and moves across to the receptors on the next nerve's dendrites. Shows changing of the ions to change the action potential. Animation with narration. Grades 9-12. 2:18 min.
Polio pt 1
Content: Poliomyelitis is a viral infection of the intestinal tract. Most cases of polio were mild--headache, fever, sore throat, and depression--with the patient usually recovered within three or four days. In fewer and more serious cases, the virus penetrates the stomach and intestinal tract, enters the lymphatic system, then the bloodstream, and then attacks the motor nerve cells of the spinal cord; if the nerve damage is severe, paralysis will result. Occurring most frequently in children, p
Cervical Spine and Discs, 3D Animation
Nucleus Medical Art's 3D medical animation shows the
anatomy of a typical cervical (neck) spine and intervertebral disc. Details include orientation of the cervical spine, movements of the spinal vertebrae, and movement of intervertebral discs. A cross section of the intervertebral disk and spinal cord highlight the nucleus pulposus, annulus fibrosus, spinal cord, dura mater, spinal root, and spinal nerve. 3-D animation is set to music. Run time 1:43.
9.15 Biochemistry and Pharmacology of Synaptic Transmission (MIT)
This course considers the process of neurotransmission, especially chemicals used in the brain and elsewhere to carry signals from nerve terminals to the structures they innervate. We focus on monoamine transmitters (acetylcholine; serotonin; dopamine and norepinephrine); we also examine amino acid and peptide transmitters and neuromodulators like adenosine. Macromolecules that mediate neurotransmitter synthesis, release, inactivation and receptor-mediated actions are discussed, as well as facto

Histology, motor nerve endings x10, (direct/above view). Rat dissection stills taken from FARID (Functional Anatomy of the Rat [Interactive Dissection]). This resource was authored by Megan Quentin-Baxter and David Dewhurst, with Graham Irving and Stephen Mera at Leeds Metropolitan University.
Neural Impulse 3-D Animation
Silent animation showing how the nerve impulse travels from the dendrite, through the soma, to the axon and across the synapse. Grades 7-12. 24 sec.
Muscle and Nerve Tissue
Professor George Wolfe discusses muscle and nerve tissue using a lecture format and a white board in this professional video from Thinkwell's online Biology series. Run time 14:09.
Auburn vs. Mississippi State (1957)
"Coach Shug Jordan's finest football machine took the test of a true champion by having to come from behind to defeat a determined Mississippi State team by a score of 15 to 7 before 43,000 in Birmingham's Legion Field. State gained a half-time lead of 7-0 on a beautifully executed 57 yard scoring pass from reserve quarterback, Tom Miller to end Ned Brooks with three minutes left in the first half. The first half was a hard-fought, defensive battle which found both teams using every opportunity
Milk of Magnesia - Cool Science Experiment
Sometimes great food and heartburn go hand in hand. Many people rely on products like Milk of Magnesia to settle their stomachs, but have you ever wondered how those antacids really work? This highly visual demonstration from Steve Spangler will show you exactly how Milk of Magnesia neutralizes the acids in your stomach - using some cool color changing chemistry - and saves the day after a great meal.
