Physiology Assignment Name Class Date Every organism has specific characteristics that make it ideal for living in the certain environment that it resides. For example‚ owls are birds that have adapted to hunting at night. They have many adaptations that allow them to be successful night hunters. One adaptation that the owl has involves their eyesight. The eyes of owls are sunk in. This allows an owl to collect and intensify light making it better able

Physiology of stomach:- For understanding approaches for gastro retention‚ it is essential to overview gastric physiology and gastric motility. The stomach is situated in the left upper part of the abdominal cavity immediately under the diaphragm. Human stomach has a resting volume of 25-50ml‚ which can distend upto1500ml following a meal. It is divided into 5 anatomical parts: a) Cardia:- First part of the stomach below the esophagus. It contains cardiac spincter‚which is a thin ring of muscle

Anatomy and body type plays a significant role in determining the proper weightlifting strategy; there is no one weightlifting plan that would work for all members in a group‚ not only because people have different physical traits‚ but also different diet and living habits. There are three major body types: Ectomorph‚ endomorph and mesomorph. People who are described as Ectomorphs usually have lean muscle mass; they have small frames and do not gain weight easily‚ and therefore‚ have a slim appearance
