BMS 200: Concepts in Human Anatomy and Physiology

Explore the similarities and differences between the circulatory systems of amphibians and humans. Understand the distinctions in heart chambers, blood pressure, and where these two species align in their circulatory features.

Unveil the essential muscles that make breathing possible in this video. Learn why the diaphragm and scalene are crucial players and why other muscles like the trapezius and semispinalis aren't involved in respiration.

Explore active and passive transport and understand how ion pumps and phagocytosis fit in. Discover endocytosis as an active transport where cells engulf particles. Differentiate between active transport mechanisms and passive methods like facilitated diffusion.

Explore the sensory marvels of the male silkworm moth known as Bombyx mori and how they detect specific chemical signals from females. Uncover a hypothesis about the unique sensitivity of the moth's antennae and a prediction stemming from it. Learn how to design an experiment to test this hypothesis and deepen your understanding of insect behavior.

Explore the key concepts that might illustrate the unity among all organisms including emergent properties descent with modification and natural selection. Understand why the structure and function of DNA ultimately stand as the best example of this unity

Explore the critical role of phospholipids in forming cell membranes across various organisms. Understand their unique amphipathic properties and their influence on cellular processes, from transport to signaling.
