Fear of Rape (Margaret Gordon)
Violence is central to this 1994 Upon Reflection discussion with Margaret Gordon, once dean of the University of Washington’s School of Public Affairs and co-author of “The Female Fear: The Social Costs of Rape.” Gordon and host Marcia Alvar examine an oddity of American society: while men are most often victims of violence, it is women who retain more fear.
Heart anatomy
This topic contains a labelled photograph and diagram of the heart. An introduction to the cardiac cycle is given: the heart is briefly described as having four chambers, and the blood-flow within them is described (e.g. if it is oxygenated or deoxygenated). An animation illustrates the direction of blood flow during the cardiac cycle.
Obesity
This topic gives a brief introduction to obesity and an introduction to its genetic link. There is an interactive calculator allowing students to calculate their Body Mass Index to categorise their weight status (e.g. overweight, underweight, etc.).
Renal structure and function
This topic begins with an introduction to the nephron unit and a diagram supports the text. An interactive diagram showing the components of the nephron is included. The physiology of micturation is described and a diagram summarises this process.

Blood vessel anatomy
This topic begins with a brief introduction to the vascular system and its components (arteries, veins and capillaries). Schematic diagrams illustrate the principal arteries and veins of the body and lower limbs. A diagram illustrating the different layers of blood vessels is shown with supporting text. The last page of the topic describes the structure of capillaries and is supported by a clear diagram.
Heart physiology
This topic starts with an introduction to the cardiac cycle and is supported by an animation showing the direction of blood flow in the heart. The stages of the cardiac cycle (e.g. early diastole) are detailed. The topic concludes with a description of cardiac output and a sample calculation is given.
Staying on the Beat (Edna Buchanan)
Crime reporter and mystery writer Edna Buchanan knows how to put you on the edge of your seat. One of the first female crime reporters in Miami, she went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1986 for general reporting. In this 1992 Upon Reflection discussion from the University of Washington, she speaks with host Marcia Alvar about her career, burn out and how reporters can influence the outcome of some criminal cases.
