Labeling for Understanding Muscle Structure
Muscles are more than just the engines behind movement—they are complex structures that perform critical roles in our bodies. For anatomy students, getting a firm grasp of the detailed structure of muscles is essential. This worksheet helps students visualize the intricate components of muscle fibers and how they work together to produce movement. A detailed…

Cell Labeling: Simple and Complex
Students practice labeling organelles on a simple model (2D) and a more complex model. The idea is for students to gain an appreciation for how cell diagrams are created. They don’t all look alike, and are often artistically created. Cell organelles tend to follow basic design rules, like the mitochondria will generally look like a…
