The following are web pages that Bio130 student found and would recommend looking at in order to study the Muscle and skeletal system.

S2 www.madsci.org/~lynn/VH Once on the splash page click on Interactive Annotations

This web site has interactive annotations where key points of images are click able. Once selected, the key point is then outlined in red and a brief description is provided on the right column. The basic images are sections of the head, thorax, abdomen, pelvis and thigh. There are even short animated movies which introduces the three planes of section. Some of these images are also found in the text books in pages 92 and 236. (thanks to L of OL 130)

The following web site is a great source of of the human Muscle system and the Skelatal system. It offered you different view point of the muscle structure (side and front) so it is more clear and precise where each muscle and bone is located at. They are also an excellent source of personal health information. C from bio 130

I would definitely recommend students to visit these webpages. These sites will give students a general overview of some very interesting information. The articles mentioned above give a very clear and concise introduction to the Human Skeletal System and the Human Muscle System. Students like me, who have long forgotten the basic information regarding these two systems, will be refreshed with the essential knowledge that can be derived from viewing the sites. The data that is presented in the articles come from the AMA Complete Guide to Women’s Health, and is presented in such a way that is easy for anyone to comprehend. Also, included on the American Medical Association’s webpages are very graphical illustrations of both the skeletal and muscle systems. These illustrations are all labeled, and front, back, and side views are included. The above sites were very informative for me because they contained details about the Human Skeletal System and the Human Muscle System that I probably never learned or never understood because of the way that it was presented to me during my earlier schooling. Now, after visiting these webpages, I will always remember that there are exactly two hundred and six bones in the human body. J of ol130

S9 http://www.ehc.com/vbody.asp This is a very simple but graphically stimulating page. It is a bit too simplistic for this course but it is a good start for your studying and looking at the graphics and listening to the readings may be a good break from studying. (thanks to T of OL130)

Because I am not a science major, sometimes reading science texts are just difficult for myself to comprehend quickly and efficiently. As I searched the web, I found a couple of websites that were really suitable for an individual who is very visual and likes to see things in the simplest context as possible. The first site I found was http://www.innerbody.com I found that this site had images, written descriptions and animations of the muscular and skeletal systems. It produced the back and front view of the muscle system, described muscle types (skeletal, cardiac & smooth) and it also mentioned the smallest (stapedius) and the largest (latimus dorsi) muscles. (pgs.98-104; ch 4.7). This site also had a picture of the axial and appendicular skeleton, ligaments and a bone cross section. (pgs.90-91;ch4.2). The second site I found was http://www.vilenski.com/science/humanbody This site is geared towards younger students because of the cartoon-like images it displayed, but I'm sure college students would appreciate the simplicity it displayed. It had general information about types of muscles, appearance, voluntary and involuntary and functions of muscles. (pgs. 98-99; ch 4.7). As for the skeletal system, it had a section of the spinal column, the foot, rib cage, ball & socket joint, pelvis, and tooth. (pgs.90-95; ch 4.2).

I think these sites give a good general overview of the muscular and skeletal systems. This is a positive way to get things started when trying to understand the basic biology of the human body by looking at visuals and then applying the context to what is being shown.

S17 This website does not have interactive annotations but it has more detailed

and clear pictures like the text on page 234. The pictures look almost

real. Some of them might be. The parts are identified by numbers and are

listed on the bottom with a brief description. However, it does not seem to

describe the functions. (thanks to L of OL 130) This page also goes into excessive detail,

and also covers cross sections. In this class we will not go into this much detail. top

www.innerbody.com . It has animated diagrams and has an

S10overview description of functions of our inner body. I have found similar

pictures in our text book in pages 78, 79, 87, 91, 112, 115, 226 to name a

few. This website contains 10 interactive pictures featuring ten systems:

Skeletal, Digestive, Muscle, Lymphatic, Endocrine, Nervous, Cardiovascular,

Male and Female Reproductive, and Urinary Systems. The name of the parts

will appear by clicking on the picture.(thanks to L of OL 130)

This is a good overall site to study from. A lot of students use this site and the information looks correct. Nick top

http://www.ptcentral.com/muscles

S11 This site has a lot of informaiton about all of the muscles. It contains all of the muscles, but students may find it confusing because it contains more muscles than we are required to know in class. If you need more detail you may want to look at this site. This site does not contain very many pictures.

http://www.ptcentral.com/muscles/index.html#muscles

S12 this is the same as the Pt central site on number 11. this site has way more information than you need and does not have a lot of graphics, but it does contain lots of information. (C of ol 130)

S15. While this has correct information. This person is not an expert on this topic, and you need to be worried about mistakes.

http://tqjunior.thinkquest.org/5777/site_map.htm

S20 I think my people should this site out because it contains a lot of

information about the skeletal and muscle systems. Not only that, this site

also has many other things you can study and learn about. This site is

definitly worth a look.

However the information is not really detailed enough for this class. but it will give you some background and the graphics are pretty interesting. (thanks to R of ol130)
