people refer to the poison frog as the “jewels of the Rainforest‚” because of their peculiar colors‚ but beware these frogs can be very deadly. Their main habitat is the bottom of tropical rainforests‚ yet the some live high in the canopy and never come down. They have amazingly bright colors and fantastic patterns to warn other rainforest animals that they are poisonous‚ but occasionally they are swallowed‚ and the consumer might die depending on the type of poison frog.

process: modelling and simulation‚ computer-aided design‚ and computer-aided manufacture. Modelling and simulation Electronic circuits can be modelled in real life using a prototyping board - also known as a breadboard. However‚ this can be time consuming and uses real components‚ which can be damaged. Computerised simulation software can be used to test circuits without the need to physically build them. In addition‚ the computer simulation can be saved and edited. Simulation software can also be

The goliath frog‚ or conraua goliath‚ is the world’s largest frog. From nose to toes‚ it maxes out at about twelve and a half inches‚ and can weigh just under eight pounds. Unlike most frogs‚ these don’t have the ability to make mating calls‚ and instead create a breeding ground along rivers and streams. The frog is found primarily in Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon‚ at least naturally. A big reason for the goliath frog’s status as endangered is because of the zoo and pet demands. Other significant

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY Chronic Kidney Disease Cardiovascular System The cardiovascular system is sometimes called the circulatory system. It consists of the heart‚ which is a muscular pumping device‚ and a closed system of vessels called arteries‚ veins‚ and capillaries. As the name implies‚ blood contained in the circulatory system is pumped by the heart around a closed circuit of vessels as it passes again and again through the various "circulations" of the body.
