This site has all sorts of information on cells. It talks about all the different chemical reactions that happen in cells, where they get their energy from, and how proteins run many processes. Anyone who has trouble with cellular processes in Biology might be able to learn from this site, and benefit from doing better. I would recommend this site to anyone who is having trouble in Biology, or who wants to go the extra step to really understand the information.

This was such a great video. It showed how neurotransmitters work and how they are if someone has depression, it then showed how serotonin should affect the cells if it works correctly. Short video, only a minute and 25 seconds but it had a lot of great information and was well explained.

This site helped me to a great extent in my biology class. It covers all aspects of cells and all of the processes that occur in them. It also explains everything in a clear and understanding way so that you can really take away solid information without questioning.

This site makes finding the major and finer structures of the brain easy. The intuitive layout lets the user go through the brain, slice by slice, to reveal actual MRI data and drawn pictures that are clearly labeled to indicate surface and subcortical structures. You can zoom in on actual microscope pictures to reveal cells in the brain and see detailed pictures of how they connect. The detailed pictures use horizontal axis (top of brain to bottom), coronal axis (front to back), and sagittal axis (side to side) scans so that you are able to develop a picture of a three dimensional map of the human brain, in your mind. One of the hardest things to picture when I first began researching about the anatomy of the human brain, was picturing where all the subcortical structures were positioned in relation to each other. By using the many informative anatomical and chemical maps, I was able to clear up the issues I had had with trying to visualize a three dimensional model. This source is very reliable, as it uses real images for the slices you see as you navigate the brain. This source also comes from the University Institut für Anatomie, so the data was observed first hand there, making it reliable. I will be using this information that I have gathered to add to my brain portfolio document, and will be a useful tool if I decide to make a three dimensional model of the brain.

This site talks all about chromosomes. Its point is to educate people more on how chromosomes work. This site has an index of all 23 chromosomes and what disorders each individual one can hold. It also has information on genes, and has many different diagrams on chromosomes. It also displays what each chromosome looks like, its genes, and different facts about it. I would recommend this site to anyone who wants to learn more about how chromosomes carry genes. This site shows just how complicated genetic disorders are.

Brain Anatomy info, anatomy of the human brain complete with illustrations and references.

The main purpose of this article is to help the reader understand more about what the parts of the brain are and what functions they control. The website talks briefly about the different lobes of the brain, the glands, the nerves, fluids, blood supply to the brain, and cells. Many sources and links to other helpful articles are located at the bottom of the article. I would recommend this source to someone who is deeply interested in finding out more about brain anatomy. I can use this source to take notes on the anatomy of the brain and learn about what each section of the brain functions.
