BIOL 2443: Human Anatomy

Discover how humans adapt to cold environments through thermoregulation processes. Understand the body's heat conservation and generation mechanisms. Learn why certain physiological responses occur in cold conditions.

Explore the secrets of fossilization in sedimentary rocks. Uncover how these rocks, like nature's archives, preserve the history of life on Earth over billions of years. Delve into the unique processes that create these historical records.

Learn why lipid-soluble signaling molecules like aldosterone only impact specific target cells. We discuss four theories and reveal that intracellular receptors present only in target cells are the key. This video demystifies the unique mechanism behind aldosterone's selective action.

Discover the distinctions and similarities between gymnosperms and angiosperms. Delve into their structural features, seed development processes, and pollen grain formation. Uncover why only angiosperms possess ovaries.

Uncover the fascinating system that nourishes osteocytes in our bones: the osteocyte lacunar-canalicular network. Learn how canaliculi connect these mature bone cells to vital nutrients, ensuring their health even at significant distances from blood vessels.

Explore the distinctions between aerobic, anaerobic, and non-aerobic exercises. Understand the energy mechanisms driving each type of exercise and their unique health benefits. From jogging and sprinting to golf, discover how each engages the body differently.
