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.

Introduction to Atomic Spectrometry
An introduction to atomic spectrometric analysis, describing the basic principles of each technique, their application areas and modes of operation, including practical comparison of the techniques. It is illustrated with simple diagrams and photographs of equipment.
Blood vessel anatomy
This topic begins with a brief introduction to the vascular system and its components (arteries, veins and capillaries). An overall schematic diagram illustrates the position of the components in relation to the heart. Layers of the components are described in more detail (e.g. collagen fibres; smooth muscles) and are accompanied by diagrams. The control of blood flow is described; emphasis is on spincters and shunt vessels.
Bone structure and function
This topic begins with an introduction to the primary functions of bone. A labelled diagram of the femur bone and bone matrix is included. The different types of osteoprogenitor cells are described (e.g. osteoclasts) and an Electron Microscope (EM) image is shown.
GI tract
This topic has a thorough introduction to the whole gastro-intestinal tract. An animation illustrates the pathway taken by food as it travels through the digestive system. Peristalsis is illustrated using an animation. Students can test their knowledge of the components of the GI tract with a show/hide feature. The topic finishes with an overview of the gastric juices involved in the GI tract.
Philosophical issues in research
Introduction to philosophical issues in research and questions to help you draw out the philosophical underpinnings of your own research. It will also help you identify those adopted by existing research that you read.
Cystic fibrosis
This topic has a thorough introduction relating the disease to the underlying genetic causes. An interactive element gives information about the effects of cystic fibrosis on different organs of the body. A range of diagnoses and treatment methods are described. Psychosocial effects are detailed. The topic concludes with a page summarising care and management.
Introduction to Analytical Chemistry
A general introduction to analytical chemistry with a special focus upon the analytical process, quality assurance, and guidance on solution preparation including volumetric and concentration calculations. It also includes a bibliography of useful texts for the analytical chemist.
Visual Anthropology CSAPOER
This module is concerned with how anthropology can contribute to - and gain insight from - the analysis of visual forms of representation; it is an introduction to anthropology through an examination of the ‘ways of seeing’ across-cultures and to the methods used for gathering information about other cultures’ ‘visual systems’. The module introduces how different cultures are depicted in a range of media, in particular ethnographic film and photography, and deals with the analytical an
