Diagram of what happens to female germ cells
Here’s an interactive drawing I made that shows what happens to female germ cells over time. I think it’s kind of helpful to see the numbers (and stages) of the germ cells mapped out by age – it gives you a visual sense of what happens throughout life.
I can’t post the drawing on our website because of wordpress limitations – but I was able to post it on my Pathology Student website. Yay!
Kahoots for exam 3
In addition to the Exam 3 Review Kahoot we did in class yesterday, there are now separate Kahoots for each system on exam 3. Here they are (they’re also on our Kahoots page):
Exam 3 review
Male reproductive system
Female reproductive system
Urinary system
Respiratory system
Pancreas, liver, and gallbladder
Gastrointestinal system
Test your knowledge of the nephron
Here’s a simple little self-study thing I put together on the nephron. It just asks you to name stuff, and recall what things look like – let me know if you think it’s useful.
A couple new Kahoots, and a little reorganization.
I made a couple new Kahoots for you to go through if you want: one on the GI system and one on pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. I also put all our crosswords and all our Kahoots into two new pages that you can access from the menu bar above. That way you won’t have to hunt through back posts if you want to use them.
Urinary and respiratory systems crosswords
Here are a couple more crosswords: one on the urinary system and one on the respiratory system.
Respiratory tree drawings
Thought I’d share a drawing with you guys in case it helps. It’s a better version of the one I made in class showing how the wall of the respiratory passageways changes as you go from bronchi to alveoli. There are three versions, so you can use it fully labeled, partially labeled, or unlabeled, however it suits you best. Let me know if you find it useful – if so, I’ll make more 🙂
Unlabeled:
Labeled with passageways only:
Fully labeled:
Quick video on stomach vs. small intestine
When we talked about the GI tract, I mentioned that when I was first learning this stuff as a student, I got hung up on trying to tell apart stomach and small intestine. They both have glands at the bottom and other structures (pits in the stomach, villi in the small intestine) on top…and I had a hard time visualizing how they were different.
So I made a short video explaining the difference. I think it’s easier to understand if you can see someone drawing on the pictures. So here it is – I hope if some of you had the same problem that this will solve it!
Pancreas, Liver, and Gallbladder crossword
Here is a new crossword on the Pancreas, Liver, and Gallbladder.
