Mechanism and Physiology of Regeneration in Urodeles 2013 Mechanism and Physiology of Regeneration in Urodeles Urodeles or more commonly known as salamanders are any of approximately 550 extant species of amphibians under the Order Caudata.1 Urodeles’ distinctive factor that makes them different from other amphibians like frogs and caecilians is the retention of a full tail. Frogs actually lose their tail after leaving the larval stage and on the other hand‚ caecilians lack or have a small

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE HEART Anatomy: The heart and heart wall layers: The heart is located in the left side of the mediastinum; it consists of three muscle layers the Endocardium‚ myocardium‚ and epicardium. The epicardium is the outermost layer of the heart. The myocardium is the idle layer of and actual contracting muscle of the heart. The endocardium is the innermost layer and lines the inner chambers and heart valves. Pericardial sac: The pericardial sac encases and protects

The Endocrine System Controls many body functions ~exerts control by releasing special chemical substances into the blood called hormones ~Hormones affect other endocrine glands or body systems Derives its name from the fact that various glands release hormones directly into the blood‚ which in turn transports the hormones to target tissues via ducts. Exocrine glands-transport their hormones to target tissues via ducts. Endocrine glands- secrete hormones into the bloodstream The Endocrine
