I. Fetal Pig Dissection II. Purpose Sus scrofa‚ or the domestic pig is a member of the class Mammalia and the order Artiodactyla. Since we as humans are also a member of class Mammalia‚ we have a good deal in common biologically with pigs‚ although we might not like to think so. Since we have a good deal in common‚ it is very helpful for us to study these animals both anatomically and physiologically. We do this when we test medicines on pigs‚ perfect surgical procedures on pigs‚ and even when

Simple Machine Joemarie A. Martinez 1-D CE Simple machine Simple machines make work easier by multiplying‚ reducing‚ or changing the direction of a force. The scientific formula for work is w = f x d‚ or‚ work is equal to force multiplied by distance. Simple machines cannot change the amount of work done‚ but they can reduce the effort force that is required to do the work! As you can see by this formula‚ if the effort force is reduced‚ distance is increased. These simple machines

Hummingbirds are birds that comprise the family Trochilidae. They are among the smallest of birds‚ most species measuring in the 7.5–13 cm (3–5 in) range. Indeed‚ the smallest extant bird species is a hummingbird‚ the 5-cm Bee Hummingbird. They hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings 12–80 times per second (depending on the species). They are known as hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating wings‚ which sometimes sounds like bees or other insects. To conserve energy

Definition Reflex tests are simple physical tests of nervous system function. Purpose A reflex is a simple nerve circuit. A stimulus‚ such as a light tap with a rubber hammer‚ causes sensory neurons (nerve cells) to send signals to the spinal cord. There‚ the signals are conveyed both to the brainand to nerves that control muscles affected by the stimulus. Without any brain intervention‚ these muscles may respond to an appropriate stimulus by contracting. Reflex tests measure the presence and

Termites are a group of eusocial insects that‚ until recently‚ were classified at the taxonomic rank of order Isoptera (see taxonomy below)‚ but are now accepted as the epifamily Termitoidae‚ of the cockroach order Blattodea. While termites are commonly known‚ especially in Australia‚ as "white ants‚" they are only distantly related to the ants. Like ants‚ some bees‚ and wasps—which are all placed in the separate order Hymenoptera—termites divide labour among castes‚ produce overlapping generations

The term “facial reconstruction” refers to the process of building a face over a skull to create an image of what a person looked like during life. This technique has often been used in forensic science when attempting to identify unknown skeletonized human remains. Facial reconstruction has also been used to create the possible facial appearance of hominids and modern humans. The reconstruction of facial features of an individual onto the skull uses a combination of scientific and artistic skills
