The Edheads.org feature that I like most are the interactive activities.

Warning: The Deep Brain Stimulation may be too graphic for some students. But I liked it.

If some of the animations don’t play you may need to update Shockwave on your computer, there is a link on the site to do so.
Here is an animation watched about blood pressure.
