Stare at one color—but see another. You see color when receptor cells (called cones) in your eye’s retina are stimulated by light. There are three types of cones, and each is sensitive to a particular color range. If one or more of the three types of cones adapts to a stimulus because of long exposure, it responds less strongly than it normally would.

Basic overview of the 4 main blood types A, B, AB, and O. Understand why and how blood compatibility works.

The OER content in this course shell was originally intended for a 300-level Kinesiology & Biomechanics course. The course is described as providing "an in-depth study of the basic body movements, osteology, applied myology, spatial relations of muscles and joints, aggregate muscle action, kinesiologic constructs of summation of internal forces, aerodynamics and hydrodynamics, techniques for cinematographical and noncinematographical analysis of sport skills. The study of methods, mechanics and analysis of movement as applied to the structure and function of the human organism will also be discussed."

Quiz questions that accompany the text are available for faculty and instructors. Request access by providing your credentials and contacting us at learnlib@umn.edu.

Short Description:
This is an introductory textbook of exercise physiology, with some advanced material. It is unique in that it contains chapters on immunology, muscle cell signaling and the child in exercise physiology that are not typically contained in a book of this nature.

Pulmonary Physiology for Pre-Clinical Students is an undergraduate medical-level resource for foundational knowledge of pulmonary physiology. This text is designed for a course pre-clinical undergraduate medical curriculum and it is aligned to USMLE(r) (United States Medical Licensing Examination) content guidelines. The text is meant to provide the essential information from these content areas in a concise format that would allow learner preparation to engage in an active classroom. Clinical correlates and additional application of content is intended to be provided in the classroom experience. This resource should be assistive to the learner later in medical school and for exam preparation given the material is presented in a succinct manner, with a focus on high-yield concepts.

This learning strategy provides discussion and visualizations of the neuron and its function, as well as components and functions of different parts of the nervous system, including the human brain.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"The diaphragm aids in breathing and swallowing and influences the sympathetic nervous system. However, trauma from cardiac surgery and conditions like heart attacks can impair diaphragm function. A simple new test may help clinicians assess this critical muscle quickly and without instruments. The test, called the Bordoni diaphragmatic test (BDT), consists of two phases. In the first phase, the patient rhythmically lifts their knees while standing with hands on hips and eyes closed. Two knee lifts are conducted with deep breaths, and two more are conducted with normal breaths. If the diaphragm is functioning correctly, the patient’s balance should be better with deep breathing. The second phase is performed in the same way but with resistance from the tester’s hand. A patient with a healthy diaphragm should lift their legs more forcefully while inhaling deeply than while inhaling normally..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.

Short Description:
Le livre interactif Écophysiologie évolutive présente cette sous-discipline de la biologie dans laquelle on étudie le fonctionnement et l’évolution des réponses physiologiques des organismes face aux nombreux défis de l’environnement. Le livre cible les étudiant.es du baccalauréat en biologie en intégrant des notions de différentes sous-disciplines de la biologie, telles que la physiologie animale et végétale, la biologie moléculaire et cellulaire, la génétique et l’évolution.

Long Description:
Le livre Écophysiologie évolutive présente ce domaine qui vise à comprendre le fonctionnement et l’évolution des réponses physiologiques des organismes face aux défis de l’environnement en combinant des notions de physiologie, de biologie cellulaire, de biologie moléculaire, de génétique et d’évolution. Ce livre vise à combler un besoin pédagogique précis : avoir du matériel de référence en français dans le domaine de l’écophysiologie au premier cycle universitaire qui soit ouvert, interactif et qui favorise une approche de pédagogie inclusive. Ce livre est divisée en trois unités complémentaires : 1) Causes et conséquences de la variation phénotypique, 2) La physiologie agit comme interface entre l’environnement et l’organisme, 3) Évolution des systèmes physiologiques. Le sujet de chaque unité est présenté par une entrevue vidéo avec une professeure-chercheure universitaire dans le domaine qui présente son parcours et les travaux de son groupe de recherche.

Chaque chapitre débute avec une introduction et une présentation des objectifs spécifiques et les notions clés. Le texte du chapitre est accompagné de figures, vidéos, tableaux et activités de révision interactives H5P. Le chapitre se termine avec une section « Cas appliqués » qui illustre les concepts théoriques grâce à des exemples de la littérature scientifique, des entrevues vidéos avec des étudiant.es au doctorat qui présentent leur parcours et leur projet de recherche et une visite virtuelle interactive d’un laboratoire de recherche en écophysiologie évolutive. Le chapitre se termine avec un résumé des notions vues et une activité de révision interactive H5P (schémas et images à annoter, vidéos avec questionnaire intégré, textes à trous de révision, quiz à choix de réponse, vrai ou faux).

Le public cible de ce livre est d’abord les étudiant.es du cours BIO-3103 : Écophysiologie évolutive, du programme de baccalauréat en biologie de l’Université Laval, cours créé par l’auteure et qu’elle donne depuis 2018. Le second public cible est les collègues qui enseignent des notions d’évolution et de physiologie dans leurs cours à l’université, au CEGEP et dans les diplômes équivalents à travers la francophonie, ainsi que les personnes apprenantes qui suivent un cours dans ce domaine et qui veulent un texte de référence en français.

These educational resources have been developed so that primary school teachers can introduce scientific concepts related to the field of Nanomedicine.The contents are a tool for teachers and are intended to be a guide for classroom work. These are contents designed to be adapted according to the needs and criteria of each teacher. They have been developed taking into account the spanish educational curriculum and can freely be adapted to other curricular programmes.This project has been promoted by the Spanish Nanomedicine Platform (Nanomed Spain). Nanomed Spain brings together the main Spanish stakeholders in research, industry and administration in the field of Nanomedicine, in order to promote a common strategy to accelerate the development and introduction of innovative, more effective and personalized therapies in the healthcare system. One of the aims of the platform is to raise awareness of the research and potential of nanomedicine in society by promoting educational projects such as this one.Different entities have participated in the development of this project:Funding: Ministry of Science and InnovationTechnical and didactic support: Institute of Bioengineering of CataloniaEducational advice and pilot test: Gayarre School, Barcelona's public school for infant and primary education within the framework of the Aliances Magnet project.Original content development: Eduscopi
