Testicles are a part of the male reproductive system, usually somewhat smaller than the size of a gold ball in the average adult male.…

If done before 6 months of age, neutering eliminates the risk of testicular cancer in dogs and cats. It also reduces the risk of prostate troubles in dogs. Your neutered male won’t wander.

According to the Chairman of Food Science, Dr. George Borgstrom, in order to produce one pound of beef, 2,500 gallons of water are needed. Since, most people consume meat and meat by-products (dairy, cheese, and eggs), this statement by Dr. Borgstrom reveals that people are not educated about the major effects of animal husbandry. The government constantly suggest that humans should reduce water usage by taking shorter showers, checking faucets and pipes for leaks, and turning off the water…

Movement of cells are important since some cells depends on movement to carry out its major function. For example, sperm cells need to move from one place to another place to carry out reproduction. Movement of cells are supported by cytoskeleton system of the cells. The cyctoskeleton system are composed of microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments. However, for unicellular organisms such as Paramecium, the movement of cells are regulated through cilia or flagella. Cilia can be…

The frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes are the most prone to suffer from an ischemic stroke due to their shared blood supply.

The middle cerebral artery (MCA) is the region of interest as this is the most common site for ischemic strokes. The MCA consists of four sections. The M1 segment consists of lenticulostriate vessels which irrigate the basal ganglia. The M2…
