In amniotes the tip of the head bends towards the heart. Types of flexion: cranial flexion‚ cervical flexion‚ pontine flexure‚ dorsal flexure‚ caudal flexure. ^Cervical flexure- ventral bend in embryo at transition between myelencephalon and spinal cord ^Dosal Flexure- a ventral bend in the midbody making

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY The vagina is a thin-walled tube 8 to 10 cm long. It lies between the bladder and rectumand extends from the cervix to the body exterior. Often called the birth canal‚ the vagina providesa passageway for the delivery of an infant and for the menstrual flow to leave the body.The cervix (from Latin "neck") is the lower‚ narrow portion of the uterus where it joinswith the top end of the vagina. Where they join together forms an almost 90 degree curve. It iscylindrical or

Sample Physiology MCQs 1. Compound action potentials can be graded responses. True 2. The sciatic nerve contains axons of both afferent and efferent neurones. True 3. The absolute refractory period of an action potential is the period after an initial stimulus when it is impossible to evoke another action potential with a second stimulus. True 4. The refractory periods of individual axons are important as they dictate the maximal action potential firing rate of a neuron. True 5. Compound action

“Art anatomy” In her essay “Shipwreck‚” Cat Bohannon argues that displaying bodies of dead humans can be “art”‚ but this “art” may be difficult to separate from “science.” The text is filled with the author’s research‚ interviews and her personal reasoning. While observing the process of human dissection and preservation (known as “plastination”)‚ Bohannon has a difficult time understanding this type of art making. For the author‚ plastination is a complicated and sometimes disturbing process. But

Physiology plays a major role in the way the body functions. In football the body has to adapt to the intensity of the game as it varies from low to high. A footballer would mainly use their aerobic energy system due to constant and consistent exercise. It is suggested that footballers use 90% of their aerobic metabolism (Mcmillan et al 2004). Yet they would also use their anaerobic energy when displaying skills such as striking as it uses a short burst of energy. The aerobic capacity of a footballer
