Long Description: This textbook is a project under development by our Biology faculty to ultimately provide students with all the factual information they need to succeed in the BIOL 1203 and BIOL 1209 courses at Douglas College in BC, Canada. Readers should be aware that the information herein is subject to change at any time as corrections, additions, or other important modifications are made. Current students at Douglas College should be aware that only the most recent version of this textbook will be considered by their instructors to be complete and correct. The most recent version of this fourth edition will remain accessible online at https://pressbooks.bccampus.ca/dcbiol120312094thed/, and the most recent version of the second edition of the companion textbook (developed for Douglas College’s BIOL 1103 and BIOL 1109 courses) will also remain accessible online at https://pressbooks.bccampus.ca/dcbiol110311092nded/.
This textbook was developed initially as an adaptation of the OpenStax Anatomy & Physiology textbook, freely and perpetually available online at http://cnx.org/content/col11496/latest/. The original adaptations of that OpenStax textbook for Douglas College are accessible online at https://pressbooks.bccampus.ca/dcbiol11031109/ and https://pressbooks.bccampus.ca/dcbiol12031209/ In the first edition of the Douglas College adaptations the chapter and section numbers were left as they were in the version of the OpenStax A&P textbook, from which they were largely drawn. However, this fourth edition has been more extensively edited and rearranged to correspond with the curriculum used at Douglas College, so chapter and section numbers are no longer aligned specifically with the OpenStax A&P textbook.

In this capstone course, students will use new and previous knowledge about drug delivery and biopharmaceutics, to design an innovation. Throughout the course students will engage in learning opportunities related to real-world scenarios in drug delivery, gain a better understanding of the anatomy and physiology related to drug delivery, and participate in a self-directed project to solve a fictitious problem. This learning tool will guide students through the process of understanding real-world applications of drug delivery and how drug delivery is applied to treating infectious diseases. DDF’s innovation project is aligned with NGSS and Common Core standards in math and ELA core curriculum subject areas. The learning activities, final project, and mid-unit assessments are provided to the teacher and students in the form of eLearning readings, quizzes, interactive tools, student response sheets, and presentation outlines. Students using this module should find success in self-directed learning, though they may use additional resources in the community, the guidance of teachers, the advice of scientists or biomedical professionals at DDF, or the knowledge presented in scientific literature to help them achieve their goal; though this module should provide most of the tools they will need for guidance. For more information on in-person learning experiences, please contact our DDF eLearning Project Manager, Lindsay Malcolm: lmalcolm@tsrlinc.com

The duodenum is the proximal part of the small intestine and extends from the pylorus of the stomach to the jejunum. It has descending and ascending portions and both portions have digestive and absorptive functions.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:
"A new report published in Arthritis & Rheumatology suggests that cardiovascular disease affects patients with systemic lupus erythematosus much earlier than previously thought – in some cases even before active lupus sets in. The finding was reported by a team of researchers based in China who have been working on validating the use of magnetic resonance imaging to detect the early manifestations of cardiac impairment. With heart disease being the leading cause of death in patients with SLE, the ability to detect very early signs of cardiac dysfunction in this group could one day lay a foundation for enhanced preventive strategies. Traditional cardiac MRI approaches like late gadolinium enhancement don’t perform well in detecting early indications of heart disease, such as disturbances in myocardial extracellular volume. Missing these early warning signs could hide the fact that heart disease has set in and potentially complicate treatment efforts..."
The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.

Elephant anatomy is very much comparable to the horse and rabbit. Microbes are present in the hindgut that produce Volatile Fatty Acids (VFAs). VFAs make a substantial contribution to the elephant's total energy requirements. Food has a relatively fast transit time and as a result, elephants have a low digestive efficiency (44% as opposed to 60% in horses). A fast transit time is achieved by a short GIT, reduced caecum and increased GIT diameter. Their digestive strategy is to pass as large a quantity of low quality food through their digestive tract within a short period of time.

In this activity, students are divided into a group of hormones and a group of receptors. The hormones have to find their matching receptors, and the pair, once matched, perform a given action. This activity helps students learn about the specificity of hormone-receptor interactions within the endocrine system.

This animation describes the formation of endocrine glands starting with the mitosis of mesenchymal tissues, eventually leading to the formation of the secretory portion of the gland by differentiation.

There are various hormones that influence the structure of the skin. These influences may be made apparent by the repeated long-term administration of various glucocorticoids or their analogues. Endogenous imbalances are generally seen in adult mature animals although congenital forms have been seen, especially with hypothyroidism. The hormones implicated as important for maintaining skin structure are thyroxine, cortisol and estradiol. Deficiencies or excessive production may result from abberations in the function of the hypothalamic-adrenal axis, the adrenal gland, thyroid gland or the gonads.

Video 3 in the endocrine system. We lists the glands of the endocrine system. We explain the functions of the glans in the endocrine system, including: Pituitary Gland, Thyroid Gland, Parathyroid Gland, Adrenal Gland, Sex (gonad) Gland, Pancreas, Pineal Gland and Hypothalamus.
Lesson 3 in our Endocrine System series. This is part of our Anatomy and Physiology lecture series.

Comprised of a group of duct-less glands with limited or no anatomical contact with each other, the endocrine system integrates and controls metabolic activity through the secretion of hormones into the vascular system. These hormones may have their effects on tissues and organs far from where they were produced.

Hank begins teaching you about your endocrine system by explaining how it uses glands to produce hormones. These hormones are either amino-acid based and water soluble, or steroidal and lipid-soluble, and may target many types of cells or just turn on specific ones. He will also touch on hormone cascades, and how the HPA axis affects your stress response.

In the second half of our look at the endocrine system, Hank discusses chemical homeostasis and hormone cascades. Specifically, he looks at the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis, or HPT axis, and all the ways your body can suffer when that system, or your hormones in general, get out of whack.

In the previous video we showed the glands that make up the endocrine system. This video starts our study of the hormones produced by each gland. We kick off by looking at the hormones produced by the pituitary gland.
