Skull

The anatomy of dogs, when compared to their wolf ancestors, share many similarities and differences. Scientists have been able to “compare skull and teeth to modern wolves and dogs to prove its origin” (Terlach 2016). By utilizing the study of the shapes of teeth and skulls from wolves, scientists were able to relate how drastically dogs has evolved and distanced themselves from wolves. However, researchers have a difficult time determining the characteristics of dog evolution immediately when…

non-cancerous mixture of cells and tissues of the blood vessels which creates the blockage or tumor on the specific nerves that are around the forehead, skin and upper eyelid areas. This abnormal growth of blood vessels happens at the most inner layer of the skull that wrap around the brain. As a result, this creates pressure on the brain as well as the central nervous system and causes the physical characteristics of facial port-wine stain (PWS). (Mantelli 2016-NCBI). In addition to the PWS,…

mentioned outlines of skulls in the background. I had not seen them before, but pressed into the metallic background were tiny outlines of skulls. This discovery brought meaning to the piece. I interpreted, with help from the placard, that the skulls represented death within all life. Meaning that no matter how much life there is, death will inevitably come and take it away in the end because everything living must die eventually. It is symbolic that the flowers lay on top of the the skulls…

Seeing through things was just a thing everyone dreamed about. It was a mystery what would it look like if you can see through things like the human body. Now you can because of X-ray! Ever wonder how does X-ray works though? It works by Electromagnetic Waves and its a type of Electromagnetic Waves. X-rays are very useful to society. We use waves a lot. Though there is pros and cons from X-ray. Aren’t X-rays very interesting? X-rays are very useful to society. They help with a lot of special…

them in my different class. I believe that the act of virtual labs with any examination including creatures is a great tool. In the third part of the lab, I examined different evolutional points of interest with respect to the structure of the human skull. I inspected them by putting every one of the photos beside each other which helped a lot in contrasting them and being able to discover contrasts and similarities. I additionally appreciated seeing the course of events as it helped in the…

Discuss the role of thermoregulation in tetrapods as an adaptation for life on land. [6] Enzymes serve as catalysts for chemical reactions in the body, and they function more efficiently within select temperature ranges. As such, it is advantageous for vertebrates to maintain a body temperature that is consistently within this ideal range. Thermoregulation is the maintenance of this ideal body temperature range. Aquatic habitats are naturally thermoregulatory due to the ability of water to…

The settings of each of Shakespeare’s plays play a huge role in the plot and the play as a whole. For example, in Othello, the play starts off in Venice but takes place in Cyprus for a majority of the play. The people of Venice were mostly white, so Othello was definitely an outcast. If it weren’t for his position in the military and his service in the war, he more than likely would have been criticized by the Venetian people. When the setting shifts to Cyprus, known for its love, the love…

Could you imagine a 40 foot, 8 ton animal on the planet? Your answer is as good as mine. No. But almost 100 million years ago this animal, Giganotosaurus, also known as "giant southern lizard" existed. The Giganotosaurus, lived in the Cretaceous period about 95-100 million years ago. It was notorious during its era. The Giganotosaurus tended to stalk their prey before they killed. They were meat eaters (carnivores). Even though their teeth were long and knife like, their jaws were not strong…

The fragile skulls of birds. The elongated skulls of lizards. The larger skulls of what might have been cats, dogs, raccoons, porcupines, rabbits, squirrels…. Not a scrap of flesh adhered to any of these death’s-heads, as if they had been boiled clean: white and yellow-white in the butane light, scores of them, perhaps a hundred. No leg bones, no rib cages, just skulls. They were arranged neatly side by side in three rows—two on the bottom…

Throughout many centuries, there has always been presents of war around the world. There have been signs of possible war all the way back from 12,000 to 14,000 years ago. In this article, researchers argue about the first signs of war and how it affects the human body and mind. Throughout this article, it talks about the hunter-gatherers thousands of years ago. I think that there were tons of warfare when the hunter-gatherers were around. If there are different groups and clans in the same…
