General Biology I: Survey of Cellular Biology
Rating
0.0 stars

BI101: Survey of Cellular Biology is intended for one term of the introductory biology course for non-science majors taught at many two- and four-year colleges. The concepts of cellular biology, as they apply to the study of life, are introduced, including parts of a cell, metabolism, and homeostasis.

This textbook incorporates the mandates found in Vision and Change and focuses on the non-content aspects of biology education that are just as important. Additionally, this book explicitly teaches the general education outcomes that we have identified as important for this class. This textbook pulls together biology content resources that are accessible for our community college non-major biology students, as well as resources to provide them with explicit instruction in the quantitative literacy, communication, and information literacy general education outcomes as they relate to the biology content they are learning.

Human Anatomy Lab Manual
Rating
0.0 stars

This is a lab manual for a college-level human anatomy course. Mastery of anatomy requires a fair amount of memorization and recall skills. The activities in this manual encourage students to engage with new vocabulary in many ways, including grouping key terms, matching terms to structures, recalling definitions, and written exercises. Most of the activities in this manual utilize anatomical models, and several dissections of animal tissues and histological examinations are also included. Each unit includes both pre- and post-lab questions and six lab exercises designed for a classroom where students move from station to station. The vocabulary terms used in each unit are listed at the end of the manual and serve as a checklist for practicals.

Human Anatomy and Physiology 1 (BIOL 241)
Rating
0.0 stars

Human Anatomy and Physiology (A&P) 241 is the first class in a two quarter sequence in which human anatomy and physiology are studied using a body systems approach with emphasis on the interrelationships between form and function at the gross and microscopic levels of organization. You can think of this course as –An Owneręs Guide to the Human Body”. My goal is to help you learn how your body works so that you can explain concepts to others and apply knowledge to novel situations (e.g. make informed decisions regarding your own health and those whom you care about). Youęll also learn how to evaluate scientific research that forms the basis of our understanding of human anatomy and physiology and gain an appreciation for what remains to be discovered. To accomplish these goals requires significant effort from both of us. Although you will need to commit information to memory, I will ask you to focus on learning for understanding and your assessments will reflect this emphasis.

Preface

We developed the first edition of this Anatomy and Physiology textbook in 2020, shortly after the COVID-19 Pandemic began. Reducing the costs of study materials would help rising Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) progress toward their certification without interruptions due to financial setbacks. Developing the Open Education Resource (OER) Anatomy and Physiology textbook was our first step in an ongoing effort to support future SLPs.

A large part of this book derived from various OpenStax textbook series. OpenStax is a nonprofit organization based out of Rice University in Houston, Texas. Its open resource textbooks cover a vast amount of information for two-semester core curriculum courses in various disciplines. OpenStax generously permits educators to use their books' content in part or in whole to develop textbooks customized for each instructor's course structure. The present textbook's OpenStax content is color-coded in black ink. Additional information concerning communication sciences and disorders appears in blue ink. The original OpenStax texts are accessible free of charge at https://openstax.org/subjects. This textbook includes applicable content from the OpenStax books Anatomy and Physiology, Psychology, and Biology for AP® Course.

This textbook contains various images produced by the third author, renowned Dr. Willard R. Zemlin (1929-1998), with permission. Dr. Zemlin was one of the most influential scholars in anatomy and physiology concerning communication sciences and disorders. Dr. Zemlin's son, Mr. Karl Zemlin, kindly sharpened numerous images for this book to provide high-resolution pictures. At Mr. Zemlin's suggestion, Dr. Zemlin is included as a co-author of this edition. Mr. Zemlin expressed his appreciation for the generosity of those who donated their bodies to science throughout his father's studies. A comprehensive collection of Dr. Zemlin's work is accessible at his memorial website http://zemlin.shs.uiuc.edu/zemlinBio.htm of which Mr. Zemlin is the webmaster.

The current edition also incorporates additional images from Wiki Common. Wiki Common offers various information under Creative Common (CC) licenses, allowing the use and remix of the materials. This textbook would not have been possible without the contributions of OpenStax, Mr. Karl Zemlin, and generous providers of Wiki Common resources. We sincerely appreciate their generosity. Also, the authors would like to acknowledge the assistance of the students who used the initial edition of this book last year. They provided valuable comments from the learners’ point of view for refining the content. We have made this textbook available for our future colleagues to gain entry-level scientific knowledge applicable for serving individuals with communication disorders.

Dr. O discusses the various types of muscle contractions, emphasizing that not all contractions result in visible movement. The main types of muscle contractions mentioned are isometric, isotonic (which can be further divided into concentric and eccentric), and isokinetic (though he briefly touches on this, noting it requires specialized equipment). Isometric contractions involve no change in muscle length and no movement; for example, the postural muscles we use to stand or sit. Isotonic contractions result in a change in muscle length and include concentric contractions (muscles contract and get shorter, like when lifting a weight) and eccentric contractions (muscles contract and get longer, like when lowering a weight). Dr. O also mentions that eccentric contractions, while useful in muscle development, can cause muscle damage due to the nature of the contraction.

Microbiomes: Health and the Environment
Rating

Short Description:
Microbiomes: Health and the Environment takes a look into the world of polymicrobial communities and how they affect aspects of human health and environmental interaction. This book attempts to bridge the gap between the world around us and our well-being through the lens of microbial influence and co-evolution.

Long Description:
Microbiomes: Health and the Environment was created to provide accessible insight into the novel and complex world of polymicrobial community interactions. As we push forward into the future of medicine and environmental health, it is imperative that we learn from each other, from history, and keep up to date with the latest advances in research and technology. This book not only provides content from the latest microbiome studies, but contains interactive tools, videos, and thought-provoking questions to help the reader hone and truly understand the respective topic. Though there is much overlap between themes due to the ubiquitous nature of microbes, the book is broken down into sections pertaining to both human health (e.g., gut health and disease, as well as other organ-specific niches) and aspects of the environment (e. g., nutrient cycling and climate change, marine health, soil and plant health, etc.) influenced by microbes. However, the content is designed to bridge ideas and aspects between these themes to support the One Health concept: that the health of people, animals, and the environment are all interconnected. This project will continue to grow with new findings, and adapt with the ever-changing world of microorganisms.
