BIOL 4590: Research Project Lab

Uncover the nuances of stain functionality in microbiology with a focus on identifying non-functionally analogous pairs. This video provides an in-depth comparison of commonly used stains like Nigrosin Malachite Green and Crystal Violet.

Discover the fundamentals of the respiratory system and the primary muscle behind inspiration. This video breaks down the physiological process of breathing, the key role of the diaphragm, and why other muscles don't initiate breathing.

Explore the fundamental characteristics of anions and decipher the statements that define them. Understand how electron transfer leads to ion formation, creating atoms with net electrical charges. Learn about the key property that sets anions apart from other atomic entities, providing insights into atomic structure and charge.

Explore the influential Three-Domain System of classification, introduced by Carl Woese in 1978. Discover how it categorizes life into Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya based on distinctive cellular structures. Learn about the characteristics of each domain, from prokaryotic Bacteria and Archaea to the rich diversity within Eukarya, encompassing Protists, Fungi, Plants, Animals, and the unique world of viruses.

Discover the mechanics of voltage-gated Na+ channels and their role in neuron activity. This video breaks down key neuronal terms like resting potential and threshold to explain precisely when these channels open. You'll come away understanding that voltage-gated Na+ channels open at the threshold state initiating an action potential.

Discover the complex roles of osteogenic cells and their differentiation into bone-related cell types like osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and more. This video will also reveal the surprising origin of osteoclasts, setting them apart from their bone cell counterparts.
