Content changes
I have revised the images on the page Integumentary System
and a few images on other pages.
They are now also 400 x 500 instead of 300 x 400. The revision of images of the 'tissues' pages should be finished before the end of the year. Basic cytology pages are still in preparation.
Welcome to students and staff in Cork! I hope you will find the pages useful. Please note that constructive criticism is always appreciated. If you have a comment please send a message to the e-mail address that you will find at the end of this page - the address is now working ...
Mirror
This site is now kindly hosted by the Department of Anatomy, University College Cork, Ireland. If the connection to the Australian server is slow this link to the Irish mirror may help
Technical changes
The automated search for keywords on the Large Images page now also works for the notes pages Integumentary System, Vascular System, Male Reproductive System and Endocrines.
The vast majority of screens are now at least 1000 pixels wide. The pop-up window has therefore been eliminated from the MCQ Quiz. It should now be more comfortable to work with the MCQ quiz.
Content changes
With the increase in available bandwidth, speed of connections and
size of screens, the images deserve to become a little
larger. I have revised the images on the pages Epithelia
and Glands
and Connective
Tissue.
They are now 400 x 500 instead of 300 x 400. The increase
in image size allowed the use of a larger font for the labels and, sometimes,
additional labels without crowding the image. Some minor updates and revisions of texts of these pages were made. I hope that it will
not take too long before the next set of pages with corresponding revisions
is posted.
Basic cytology pages are in preparation. The pages actually exist, I have written a few texts and selected a few illustrations. But it is too little to put them online now. Listing these pages already now may embarass me into finishing them a bit quicker.
Mirror
Within a few weeks a European mirror of this site should go online. This should improve access and reduce the load on the Australian server.
Technical changes
Klicking on the keywords for large images in the Additional
Resources sections of the pages Epithelia and Glands, Connective
Tissue, Muscle, Nervous Tissue and Skeletal Tissues - Cartilage and Bone now automatically searches the Large Images page.
Content
changes
GIT and Lymphoid Tissues pages : The
lab section on the appendix was moved to the GIT page. Ileum and jejunum
are no longer treated seperately in the lab section. A separate section on
mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue and a lab section on Peyer's patches was
added to the lymphoid tissues pages.
Connective Tissue page: A lab section
on brown adipose tissue was added.
The page one the eye is almost finished now.
Some texts and schematic illustrations, in particular for the retina, are
still in the works but since the very basics are there I have removed the
'in the works icon' from the notes page.
The Sources page was updated with a couple of
recent (more or less) textbooks.
The Links page was updated.
Large Images: A few images were added to the
page (Peyer's patch, brown adipose tissue, cochlea). Other images were replaced
by better ones. An option to display thumbnails was added. But beware - hundreds
of thumbnails also take time to load. A few other things were changed here
and there. The old, "non-searchable" page is no longer available.
The MCQ Quiz was expanded with basic theory
questions for vascular, integumentary, digestive and respiratory systems.
A few additional item were added to the quiz. If you like the correct-incorrect
theory questions you can opt for more of them - they can also be switched
off if they are not to your taste. Change of selections for the quiz is now
easier in both the MCQ and SAQ Quiz..
Stereology: Some of the basic formulas
necessary for calculations and an explanation of the fractionator principle
was added to the page. Minor changes were made throughout
Technical changes
The layout of the pages was changed to look better with larger screens. Images
linked into the text now appear in pop-up windows of a better size.
