Disscusion In this experiment‚ we are required to observe‚ explain‚ identify and recognize the phylum under Kingdom Animalia. The phylum that we need to identify was Phylum Porifera‚ Phylum Cnidaria‚ Phylum platyhelminthes‚ Phylum Nematoda‚ Phylum Rotifera‚ Phylum Mollusca‚ Phylum Arthropoda‚ Phylum Echinodermata‚ Subphylum Cephalochordata and Subphylum Vertebrata (Fishes). Phylum Porifera The characteristic of members of Phylum porifera include asymmetrical or radial symmetry body plan. There

Quiz #3 Josi Leger Neurons - Neurons are nerve cells that are located in the nervous system‚ the main function of the neurons is to send and transmit messages so that we may function and move. Dendrite – Are located on neurons and they look like tree shape stems‚ they are what sends the signals out from the neuron and they also receive signals along with sending electrical stimulations to the soma. Synaptic Gap – This is a small gap between the cell membrane and the synapse it separates the

A Response to Olson’s Animalism 1. Introduction There is a human organism located exactly where you are located. Eric Olson argues that you are identical to that organism. This view is known as animalism. His “thinking animal” argument takes the following form: (1) There is a human animal where you are located; (2) If there’s a human animal where you are located‚ it is thinking; (3) The only thing thinking where you are located is you; and (4) So‚ you are a human animal. One argument‚ which

INTRODUCTION TO PHYSIOLOGY AND HOMEOSTATIS PHYSIOLOGY 1.1 Intro to Physiology Physiology: the study of the functions of living things‚ how the human body works Two approaches explain the events that occur in body -purpose of the body process - mechanism in which the process occurs Physiologists view the body as a machine whose mechanisms of action can explained in terms of cause and effect sequences of physical and chemical processes. Physiology is closely related to anatomy: the

Psychology studies different areas of the mind and behavior‚ especially the link between biology and behavior. Biological psychology explores behavior through genetics‚ evolution and physiological‚ especially through the study of the nervous system. Biological psychology explores biology in an effort to understand behavior. It investigates how human brain connects to the consciousness. In order to understand biological psychology research has been done to gather background information on the history
