Organism Physiology Paper Dolphins are one of the most familiar and unique marine mammals known to people and occupy all the major oceans and seas of the world. Some species are even known to live in larger river systems. Dolphins belong in the kingdom anamalia; phylum‚ corata; class mammalia; order‚ cetacean; sub-order‚ odonteceti; family‚ delphinidae; genus‚ delphinus; and species‚ delphis. Dolphins are believed to have a long evolutionary past dating back several‚ tens of millions of years

Mediastinal anatomy is complicated which is close to a number of important tissues and organs. Moreover‚ tissue biopsy is difficult. Hence‚ it is difficult to establish a diagnosis and differentiate benign from malignant lymph nodes. There are invasive and noninvasive methods for evaluation of enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes. Invasive methods contain mediastinoscopes‚ thoracoscopes‚ transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA)‚ endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA)

Human Physiology Lab Special Senses Cutaneous Senses and Vision September 24/26‚ 2012 Our bodies are capable of sensing a wide spectrum of stimuli. We are consciously aware of some of the information our bodies perceive‚ but much of the information that is sensed is beyond our consciousness. Receptors responsible for perception of stimuli are found in many places: skin‚ eyes‚ ears‚ mouth‚ blood vessels‚ lungs‚ brain—frankly‚ every cell in the body has sensory receptors. These receptors are

An Overview of Anatomy Exercise 1: Anatomical Position QUESTION: A. Explain why it is important to have a universally accepted anatomical position when studying the structure of humans. Having a universally accepted anatomical positional is important to avoid confusion. It creates a reference point so that no matter language or background of different people‚ they can still communicate efficiently. Exercise 2: Surface Anatomy A. Review Figure 3.
