The adrenal glands are paired bodies lying cranial to the kidneys within the retroperitoneal space. The glands consist of two layers; the cortex and medulla.

This lesson introduces students developmental milestones from birth to age 8. Using the CDC’s developmental milestones, students will create timelines highlighting developmental progressions. Students will then synthesize the progressions through observational and reflective writing.

This section describes the embryonic development and functions of red and yellow bone marrow in animals.

The Bursa of Fabricus is a primary lymphoid organ found in birds. The bursa was the first place that a certain subset of lymphocytes was observed and consequently they were named B lymphocytes (bursa of Fabricius or bursa equivalent organs). The bursa is involved in the differentiation of B lymphocytes.

A presentation covering the development of an evaluation framework for transforming teaching materials into OERs.

Delivered at the OER 10 Conference

Explore the geographic similarities and differences of the locations of the early river valley civilizations.

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:

"Our cells’ behavior depends on their underlying structure – the cytoskeleton. A dynamic network of protein filaments and tubules, the cytoskeleton drives motion. It is also central to cell development – and cancer. One protein at the center of cytoskeletal events is Merlin. Like other FERM-family proteins, Merlin mediates interactions between actin and transmembrane receptors, translating signaling into motion, adhesion, and growth regulation. Because it regulates such essential pathways, Merlin has a dual role in human biology. Its connection to the cytoskeleton is essential for embryonic development. and the signaling pathways it orchestrates are required for cell differentiation in later stages of development. At the same time, Merlin also maintains appropriate cell signaling levels and growth, preventing cancer progression. Further studies will shed light on Merlin's role in different contexts, improving our understanding of therapeutic strategies for disorders of both development and cancer..."

Developing New Products and Services by Sanders is an outstanding contribution to market research. The book focuses on the upfront activities and ideas for new product and service development.

Module on development in international relations. Intended for community college students and aligned with the requirements for POLS 140: Introduction to International Relations within the California Community College system. Includes lesson plan, required readings, and ancillary materials (lecture slides, activity instructions, and worksheet).

This presentation aims to increase the students knowledge of physical inactivity and how it’s a major risk factor for developing diabetes, independent of body weight. Moreover we’ll discuss how we fight the global burden of a physical inactive lifestyle.

Course responsible: Associate Professor Signe Sørensen Torekov, MD Nicolai Wewer Albrechtsen & Professor Jens Juul Holst

This presentation provides an introduction to diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2) development and how it’s a significant global burden. We’ll also discusses how stem cell based therapy can be used to treat diabetes and which advantages and disadvantages this treatments provides.

"This is germ cell-expressed protein (GCE). Across the scientific literature, GCE is treated as equivalent to Methoprene tolerant protein (MET) as both are hormone receptors that prevent the premature development of the common fruit fly. But a new study indicates that subtle structural differences between GCE and MET contribute to functional distinctions that should make each protein a unique object of research. These differences lie along the long C-terminal fragments of the proteins, dubbed GCEC and METC. Structural characterization experiments suggest that GCEC is a long, asymmetrical, and coil-like intrinsically disordered protein. Compared with METC, GCEC is less compact, contains more molecular recognition elements, and is more susceptible to folding. That, according to NMR data, enables GCEC to interact with the nuclear receptor FTZ-F1. which can force GCEC to adopt a more fixed structure and different function than METC..."

This video segment from NOVA: "The Shape of Things" follows the growth of a duck embryo, from a single fertilized egg cell to a complex, hatching duckling.

Why are rich countries rich? Why are poor countries poor? Most people think it's because of natural resources. They're wrong - economists know it's because of incentives. See what bridge collapses and the Korean peninsula can teach us about why some economies grow and others stagnate.

Students begin by reading Dr. Seuss' "The Lorax" as an example of how overdevelopment can cause long-lasting environmental destruction. Students discuss how to balance the needs of the environment with the needs of human industry. Student teams are asked to serve as natural resource engineers, city planning engineers and civil engineers with the task to replant the nearly destroyed forest and develop a sustainable community design that can co-exist with the re-established natural area.

Modernization is an important issue in the New York State Global History and Geography curriculum. Students are expected to understand how modernization may impact such areas as society, politics, the economy, and the environment. In the Global History and Geography curriculum, a study of historical examples of modernization includes examples of attempts to transform society, such as the Meiji Restoration or Kemal Ataturk. In this lesson, two PBS WIDE ANGLE documentaries -- "To Have and Have Not" (2002) and "1-800-INDIA" (2005) -- will enable students to examine the effects of modernization on two Asian countries: China and India.
