Dermatome (anatomy) A dermatome is an area of skin that is mainly supplied by a single spinal nerve. There are eight cervical nerves (C1 being an exception with no dermatome)‚ twelve thoracic nerves‚ five lumbar nerves and five sacral nerves. Each of these nerves relays sensation (including pain) from a particular region of skin to the brain. Along the thorax and abdomen the dermatomes are like a stack of discs forming a human‚ each supplied by a different spinal nerve. Along the arms and the

Clint Casey Planarians I. Diet: Planarians are carnivorous and eat other smaller animals. They also eat detritus‚ diatoms‚ dead animals‚ and decaying organic matter. (1) II. Predators: Larger carnivores eat planarians. Some fish such as the Crossocheilus siamensis (Siamese Algae Eater) have been studied to remove planarians from fish tanks. (3) III. Range: Most planarians live in fresh-water bodies. They also live in all oceans‚ and in moist terrestrial habitats. (5) IV. Microhabitat:

There is a problem that seems to be surrounding our community that is having an effect on the health of our neighbors. Our community is new and we have grown to become something like one big family so this problem will take its toll on all of us.

The first thought that I had was that the developer of the community had done something wrong

Because we synthesized the two most common kidney stones‚ calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate‚ we will focus on those two in the discussion of formation‚ treatment‚ and prevention. Calcium stones like calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate stones form when urine is “supersaturated with the constituent ions that comprise the stone” (Figge). This means‚ when urine is supersaturated with calcium and oxalate ion that type of stone is more likely to form. This supersaturation results from the ionic activity

P1 – Anatomy & Physiology Outline the functions of the main cell components Cell Membrane; in the human body there are millions of cells‚ for every cell in the body it is surrounded with a cell membrane also known as plasma.The cell membrane separates the interior of all cells to the outside environment. The outer layer or the cell controls the movement which goes in and out of the cell. The cell membrane holds the cell together‚ but has very tiny holes to allow products to move in
