types.[2] The composition of the human body is made up of a number of certain elements including carbon‚ calcium and phosphorus. The study of the human body involves anatomy and physiology. The human body can show anatomical non-pathological anomalies known as variations which need to be able to be recognised. Physiology focuses on the systems and their organs of the human body and their functions. Many systems and mechanisms interact in order to maintain homeostasis. Skeletal structure frames the

The Affect of Water Temperature on Goldfish Breathing Rate Carlos Vega Vanessa Santamaria Rasa Hodges 9/12/2013 Introduction The main objective of our lab was to see how temperature affects the breathing patterns of an Ectothermic animal. Ectothermic is the same thing as cold-blooded. It means that the animal‚ in this case a goldfish (Carassius Aauratus)‚ does not produce its own heat internally so the animals temperature depends on the temperature of its surroundings. So
