The applications for the Fluidigm technology may be far from being realized, says Worthington. Fluidigm is currently working on high-throughout methodologies, like genome screening and protein-protein interactions, as well as what could turn out to be breakthrough science: using rubber pumps to simulate body functions to trick cells into thinking they are inside the body, he says.

In this lecture, Professor Diamond conducts a review of previous lectures including areas of the respiratory system, nervous system, vascular system, as well as hematology and cardiology. Her review takes the format of a quiz as she goes through slides and asks students to identify parts of the slides as well as answer multiple choice and true or false questions. Questions involve topics such as the hyelin cartilage, the trachea, lungs,...more

In this lecture, Professor Diamond continues her discussion of the liver before moving on to the pancreas and hematology. She first describes how the liver is composed of cells called hepatocytes organized into lobules with triads, which each contain a branch of the hepatic artery, a branch of the hepatic portal vein, and a bile duct. She then reviews the functions of the liver, including supporting digestion through bile production,...more

In this lecture, Professor Diamond begins with a review of the respiratory bronchile. She then continues to discuss the structure of the lungs including the trachea, hilum, primary bronchi, pulmonary arteries and veins, nerves, alveoli and diaphragm, as well as the parietal pleura and the visceral pleura. After building this foundation she describes the process of innervation and the firing of the phrenic nerve before moving into an...more

In this lecture, Professor Diamond continues her description of the muscular system, describing the gluteal muscles and muscles of the thigh and leg. She also discusses muscle histology. She begins with the gluteal muscles, including the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus. She continues by describing muscles of the thigh, including the quadriceps femoris and the hamstring muscles. She describes the anatomy of the...more

This penultimate lecture concludes the discussion of the male reproductive system. Here Professor Diamond introduces the sex glands, which include the seminal vesicles, prostate and the balbo urethra glades, detailing their location, functions and secretions. These secretions include acid phosphate from the prostate, which is used to detect prostate cancer. She then turns to the penis, diagramming its components, location of glands,...more
