in warmer surface water (Thumbs‚ 2012). Musculo-Skeletal System As mentioned‚ Whale Shark is an elasmobranch; the skeleton of this animal is made out of cartilage instead of bone. This along with the big liver filled with oil helps the shark to float easier an spend less energy on its movement (SRI‚ 2008). They also posses an pelvic fins supported by appendicular skeletons‚ dorsal fins‚ a medial caudal fin and a median anal fin. The heterocercal tail in sharks shows that the upturned tail

(2010) performed a randomized study to examine the effects of vibration therapy in children with cerebral palsy (CP). The investigators pursued effects on bone and muscle in this population. The criteria for inclusion were children with cerebral palsy 6 -12 years old (most likely to show response for bone mass accrual due to their young age)‚ children with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS)

Transitions of Reptiles to Mammals A long long time ago‚ in a galaxy not too far away‚ was a little blue planet called Earth‚ and on this world not a single mammal lived. However a lot of time has past since then and we now have lots of furry creatures that are collectively called mammals. How did they get their? Where did they come from? These are the kinds of questions that led me to my subject of choice. I will endeavor to provide examples‚ using specific transitional fossils‚ to show that

Anatomical Terms Certain terms are used to describe the location of body parts‚ regions of the body‚ and imaginary planes by which the body can be sectioned. You should become familiar with these terms before your study of anatomy and physiology begins. Anatomical terms are useful only if everyone has in mind the same position of the body and is using the same reference points. Therefore‚ we will assume that the body is in the anatomical position: standing erect‚ with face forward‚ arms at the sides
