Hi everyone,

I also want to send a very usuful link to a site which compiles many very useful visual resources like this one

http://bio-alive.com/animations/anatomy.htm

Check out this one for example:

I´ve also been reading a lot and doing a fair amount of research, here I send the link a site where you will find many useful articles, that is for essays...

Hi all!

Immunology is one of the subjects that is probably most dreaded by a
majority of medical students.  I have found that this is due to the
reputation that proceeds it (probably spread by immunologists!!).
Unfortunately, students pick up this reputation even before their
first lesson in the subject and a mental block is then firmly in
place.

During my many years of lecturing, I have found the well-worn (but
also, equally well-suited) analogy of the armed forces of a country
defending not only its' borders, but also its' internal terrrain from
invaders, to be very useful.  They are its' immune system!

The link below is to a great web site that I think will be useful to
any of you that need a little help in unravelling what is, actually, a
truly fascinating area of clinical medicine.

The site is set up and run by a person called John Kimball and I take
my hat off and thank him for all his hard work and obvious love for
immunology.  I have copied the following from his site to give a
little background:

John W. Kimball has retired from a lifetime of teaching biology. A
graduate of Harvard College, he began his teaching career at the
secondary level, teaching chemistry and biology to students at
Phillips Academy, an independent school in Andover, Massachusetts. In
1969, he returned to Harvard to study immunology with the late
Professor A. M. Pappenheimer. After receiving his Ph.D. there, he went
on to teach introductory biology (in both majors and nonmajors
courses) and immunology at Tufts University where he became a tenured
professor. In 1982 he returned again to Harvard where he taught
immunology and also participated in teaching the introductory course
for majors.

Have fun..............Shang
