Self-study module Introduction to Plant Biology - Plant hormones

This self-study module is part of the series ‘Introduction to Plant Biology’ and introduces plant hormones, explaining how chemical signaling enables communication and coordination within plants. It is designed for students learning basic plant biology and for teachers seeking clear figures and explanations for educational use. The module covers fundamental concepts of cell signaling and signal transduction and examines the functions and interactions of major plant hormones, including auxin, cytokinin, abscisic acid, gibberellins, ethylene, salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, brassinosteroids, and strigolactones, in regulating plant growth, development, and responses to the environment.

Self-study module Introduction to Plant Biology - Plant anatomy

This self-study module is part of the series ‘Introduction to Plant Biology’ and focusses on plant anatomy. It is designed for students studying basic plant biology and for teachers seeking clear explanations and illustrative figures for educational use. The module covers the plant life cycle and provides a basic understanding of plant structure and function, from plant cells to whole organs. Students explore the anatomy of plant organs (stem, root, leaf, flower, and seed) and specialized cell types such as stomata and root hairs. In addition, the module introduces key plant cell organelles, including the nucleus, chloroplasts, mitochondria, vacuole and the cell wall, and explains their roles in plant function.

Self-study module Introduction to Plant Biology - Water in plants

This self-study module is part of the series ‘Introduction to Plant Biology’ and focuses on the role of water in plants, explaining how water is taken up, transported, and regulated to support plant growth and survival. It is designed for students learning basic plant biology and for teachers seeking clear figures and explanations for educational use. The module covers water uptake by roots, long-distance water transport through the xylem and phloem, the relationship between stomata and transpiration, and examines how environmental factors influence these processes.

Introduction to particle and continuum mechanics

In Introduction to particle and continuum mechanics, we study the classical physics of both collections of particles and continuous media. Taking Newton’s laws of motion as our axioms, we develop the theory of motion without the need for prior knowledge, with a particular focus on the laws of conservation of energy, momentum, and angular momentum. The relevant mathematics is provided in an appendix. The text contains various worked examples and a large number of original problems to help the reader develop an intuition for the physics.

Jupyter Open Textbook: demo book

This demonstration book is meant as an explanation and working example of the possibilities of making an online open textbook with the Jupyter books software. Jupyter books are made for the web. They incorporate many of the features we expect from modern websites, such as adaptive layout (readable on phones, tablets, and large computer screens), internal and external referencing, and adaptable formatting (separation of content and layout). Besides some information on how to work with MarkDown, this book shows examples of different interactive elements, like graphs with sliders, applets, 3D interactive figures, embedded websites and a quiz.

Responsible use of information: Responsible use of data

Managing data Research data can be a survey, a transcript of an interview, a spreadsheet, pictures, sound fragments and so forth. So it is clear you will come across research data during your studies. When you use the data of others it is important to reference them correctly: learn more about this in the module Citing Data. Protecting respondents Do no harm Responsible use of data is particularly important when the data involves people. The ethical norm is that you, the researcher, do not harm your research subjects in any way or better still, that people who participate in the research benefit from the research (Mertens 2007:27). Informed consent Another principle involved in research ethics is informed consent: getting permission from research subjects before you start your data collection, indicating that they understand and agree with your activities and its impact on them. Shared data management Research data management and open data initiatives enable and promote re-use of primary data by different researchers, or generations of researchers. Data sharing allows other researchers to match, compare and analyze the data set. Exercise: File naming Related. Suggested.

Basic Histology

This pdf file contains links to digital slides that can be used to illustrate the four basic tissue types: epithelia, connective tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissue. The images were made from histological slides present in the collection of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Utrecht university. It is allowed to make screen shots and use these in your teaching.

Valchanov - 3D model Internal morphology of the soft tissues of nasal cavity

In this 3D model, the internal morphology of the soft tissues of nasal cavity is shown, segmented from a CT scan. The model shows the vomeronasal organ on the left side of the septum. It’s a sensory organ for pheromones, which exist in ~25% of the population (Stoyanov et al. Cureus. 2018 May 17;10(5):e2643)
