Anatomy of the Heart

Assess anatomists' understanding of the structure of the mammalian heart by giving a pretest. Have them visit some websites to further learn about heart anatomy. Then take them into the laboratory to perform a dissection so that they get...

Complete with teachers' notes for most of the slides, this is a tremendous presentation of the four types of tissues: epithelial, connective, nerve, and muscle. Each is displayed with pertinent vocabulary and photos of microscope slides...

An all-encompassing, fully interactive, gorgeously animated model of the heart can be used to teach cardiac anatomy, physiology, and even a touch of epidemiology.

This site provides an explanation of the development and regeneration of muscle tissue.

Muscle tissue is three times more efficient at burning calories than fat. Here is a video that explores how form fits function, introducing anatomy and physiology. The instructor then explores homeostasis, hierarchy associated with...

Learn here all about muscle tissue, which is tissue with properties that allow movement.

Learn here about cardiac muscle tissue - a tissue only found in the heart.

This site provides information regarding the three types of muscle tissues: skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle.

Students learn about cardiac muscles and the electrical activity that helps them function to pump blood throughout the body.

Students learn the structure and function of the cardiac muscle and study the components of the conducting system that distributes electrical impulses through the heart during the cardiac cycle.
