In Mark Twain’s quote‚ “a book of mine where a sound heart and a deformed conscience come into collision and conscience suffers defeat” evidently has symbolism. The deformed conscience in this quote refers to southern society in Huckleberry Finn’s world‚ while the sound heart refers to individuality and Huck Finn being an individual.

Which pair of feet is webbed? Why? How can you tell the difference between a male and female frog by looking at the forelimbs? The front feet of the frog are webbed which allows it to swim easier and quicker. Webbed feet are a fusion of two or more of the digits of the feet. Frogs have two front legs with four

Frog Skeletal Muscle The aim of this experiment is to explore the basic physiological principles of skeletal muscle using the isolated frog (Rana pipiens or Xenopus laevis) gastrocnemius muscle. Students will dissect a double-pithed frog. Then‚ they will connect the muscle to the Force Transducer to measure twitch recruitment‚ effect of stretch‚ muscle summation‚ muscle tetanus‚ and muscle fatigue. Written by staff of ADInstruments.

Materials and Methods In the experiment‚ a frog was obtained and dissected in a way to expose its heart and then tested using Lab Tutor software‚ a force transducer‚ and the PowerLab hardware (ADInstruments 2014). Frog dissection: Frogs that had been killed by being double-pithed were dissected as described in Lab Tutor. The frog was pinned down with the ventral side up. A longitudinal and a lateral incision were made along the frog’s abdomen. The skin was peeled back and the tissue and sternum

Introduction A nerve is an enclosed bundle of axons found in the peripheral nervous system (Easton 13). It is the pathway for electrochemical nerve impulses‚ which pass along axons of the peripheral organs. A neuron is a cell in the nervous system which plays many critical tasks like receiving sensory signals from the external and internal environments. Moreover‚ neurons join together these sensory responses to produce and transmit motor responses as a result of changes in membrane permeability
