Chapter 6 The Integumentary System

Enbrel is a new type of drug that treats a variety of diseases. For EXTRA CREDIT, research this drug. Write a paragraph explaining what diseases it treats and how it works. You must explain what the cause is of these diseases. Knowing what you do about cell processes and about the integumentary system, you should be able to explain this in your own words. Do not copy and paste the information.
You should submit the paragraph to my guestbook. Make sure you put your real name (not your screen name) in the guestbook and mark it "private" so no one else can read it. This is due before you come to class on Friday 9-24.

Chapter 7 The Skeletal System

Skeletal System Webquest

E-museum site

Pictures of bones by name

Comparative anatomy of various primate skeletons

This site has drag and drop labeling quizzes for all parts of the skeletal system. Very useful! Click along the top to choose the part of the skeletal system to label

Another good skeletal review

Another good bone quiz, although it's short

This quiz is too easy for you and deals with articulations as well as the skeletal system. Hold the mouse over the question marks to find the answers. Your test will be a bit harder than this.

Fun, but not too useful...Addicting wire frame skeleton. You cannot see this at school. You may play with it from home only.
