The Aquatic Ape Theory Society hears the word “mermaid” and thinks about a mythical creature that sings and lives in the sea. The Aquatic Ape Theory takes the view of mermaids and tells one the real facts about ancient mermaids that humans are said to evolve from. One may wonder how mermaids have gone almost undetected for so many years. That is in fact because they live in parts of the oceans that humans have never explored. Scientists have recently discovered two new breeds of whales‚ the biggest

THE HEAD AND NECK The head and neck region is an amalgam of components of all of the systems of the body. It is a relatively small region in relation to the amount of time given over to it in any anatomy course but that is largely due to the fact the structures within the region are small. The basic principles which have helped you to appreciate the anatomy of the other regions of the body apply equally to the head and neck (eg‚ muscles which cross a joint will act on that joint‚ etc)

linked to the following airstream mechanisms: * Pulmonic * Glottalic * Velaric There are two types of airflow directions namely the egressive; whereby air is pushed out of the mouth through the vocal tract (the air passages above the larynx) and the ingressive whereby air is sucked into the vocal tract through the mouth during part of the articulation. The parts of the vocal tract that can be used to form sounds are called articulators. Ladefoged (1993). The Pulmonic airstream mechanism

Carbon monoxide is a tasteless‚ odorless‚ colorless‚ highly toxic‚ and flammable gas. Its chemical formula is CO. Carbon monoxide is mostly formed from the incomplete combustion of carbon and/or molecules that contain carbon. Carbon monoxide is usually inhaled into the body when people smoke cigarettes or any other substances. When breathed into the human body‚ carbon monoxide alters the hemoglobin and thus puts a stop on the absorption of oxygen into the red blood cells. Carbon monoxide has different

Fantastic Voyage Kaplan University The body is a very complex mechanism. There are many different veins and arteries that flow throughout the body. With there being many different veins and arteries throughout the body there are multiple paths to get to the lower lobe of the lung. In this paper we will discuss how to get from the femoral vein to the lower lobe of the lung. The path that I have chosen to discuss to get to the lower lobe of the lung from the femoral vein involves

respiratory system consists of all the organs involved in breathing. These include the nose‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea‚ bronchi and lungs. The respiratory system does two very important things: it brings oxygen into our bodies‚ which we need for our cells to live and function properly; and it helps us get rid of carbon dioxide‚ which is a waste product of cellular function. The nose‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea and bronchi all work like a system of pipes through which the air is funnelled down into our

Laryngeal cancer occurs in the larynx‚ also called the voice box. The larynx includes the vocal cords and the epiglottis‚ a piece of tissue that moves to cover the trachea (windpipe) during swallowing.
