breathing lungs are a universal trait of class reptilia. As such‚ it would have been necessary for the Plesiosauroid - a marine reptile‚ to return to the ocean surface to inhale air. Oxygen expenditure in reptiles is proportional to strenuosity of locomotion (Frappell‚ Schultz & Christian‚ 2002). Therefore the Plesiosauroid must have held physiological traits that enabled the species to avoid oxygen deficit while hunting deep-sea dwelling prey. This essay will outline the hypothesised respiratory‚ circulatory

To better analyze how these environmental factors can have this relationship with different areas in the brain‚ studies with rodents‚ and non-human primates have been used‚ and these homologies have been then applied to humans.

Introduction: In the vast tropical rainforest‚ there lies different species of primates and amphibians. These creatures range from big to small‚ with each of them having their own distinct features‚ but these creatures won’t last very long due to the human population constantly expanding and humanity’s desire for more. This has led to the loss of habitat and endangering these animals to extinction. Doing something about this is crucial‚ even if it is big or small‚ we still need to do something about

Joseph Castaneda Miami High School Abstract Over 50 million years ago‚ the creature that we know as the dolphin today was a land based animal. It would venture into the sea‚ or water to eat. Over time though the evolutionary process would see to it that this once land based creature would become a part of the water‚ evolving in such a way that it would never again see the land. Along the way there have been numerous changes that have taken place to the animals physiological

Because the pig organ is of a foreign origin the human body rejects it‚ "The immunological and pathophysiological problems associated with pig xenotransplantation...are significant and probably reflect the fact that it has been 80 million years since the pig and human diverged on the evolutionary scale‚" wrote David K.C.
