The Lobster is a delicacy in many cultures‚ and it is also a pretty strange looking creature. It’s got some strange behavior‚ too‚ so we’re here to fill you in. Enjoy reading the first half of the list. Number Fifteen: They Never Stop Growing. This is the theory‚ anyway. Most are now caught before they have the chance to get to a very old age‚ and the larger the lobster‚ the more likely it is to be caught. But some research suggests that a lobster won’t stop growing until it dies. Number Fourteen:

article was about the lobster fishing currently going on in Maine. It discusses all of the positive and few negative things that are happening to the lobster fishing industry in Maine. Most of the lobster fishermen there are responsible and follow the laws when it comes to legal lobster size and whether or not the lobster is carrying eggs. This is very beneficial to the lobster population in that area because it’s allowing the lobsters to reproduce strong and health lobsters. Unlike the fishing in

Osmoregulation as a Homeostatic Mechanism using the Comparitive Melting-Point Method for two Crab Species. Abstract Two crab species‚ Plagusia and Cyclograpsus‚ were collected from a local estuary in the littoral and deep water zone for osmoregulation studies. To examine differences in osmoregulatory mechanisms among the species‚ haemolymph of the specimens was extracted once they were acclimated to varying concentrations of seawater. Using the comparative melting-point‚ capillary tubes were

Crustaceans have three distinct body parts: head‚ thorax‚ and abdomen (also called a pleon). Excretion is the removal of toxic (nitrogenous) waste products of metabolism from the body. The waste end products of catabolism contain carbon‚ hydrogen‚ oxygen and nitrogen. Osmoregulation is based largely on controlled

Excretion is the process by which waste products and other non- useful materials are eliminated from an organism. Osmoregulation is active regulation of the osmotic pressure to maintain the homeostasis of the organism’s water content. In other word‚ it keeps the organism’s fluid from becoming too diluted or

Fight or flight response The fight or flight response is a response to a stimulus that could threaten the survival of an organism. During the fight or flight response the hypothalamus sends signals to the sympathetic nervous system. This causes the body to tense up and become more alert. The hypothalamus also releases CRF which activates the adrenal cortical system. The anterior pituitary gland begins the secrete adrenocorticotropic hormone directly into the bloodstream.

Some examples include osmoregulation‚ thermoregulation‚ chemical regulation‚ and behavioral homeostasis. While homeostasis controls these processes‚ homeostasis must also go through a separate process of its own in order for things like osmoregulation to be carried out. These “inner processes” are called negative and positive feedback. These processes will be explained in depth throughout

Blood Water Homeostasis or Osmoregulation Osmoregulation is the process by which the body regulated the osmotic pressure of any organism’s fluids in order to keep the homeostasis of the organisms’ water level constant. Therefore osmoregulation is used to keep the bodily fluid from being too diluted or too concentrated. An osmotic pressure is used to measure the ability of water to move from one solution to another solution through osmosis. Osmotic pressure refers to tendency for a liquid solution
