TITLE PINEAL GLAND: “THE HIDDEN EYE” INTRODUCTION The third eye‚ also referred as parietal eye or pineal eye‚ is a photosensory organ that triggers hormone production and thermoregulation. This eye cannot see in quite the same way as the main eyes‚ instead only detecting shapes and shadows rather than full pictures. They are also highly sensitive to changes in light and dark – producing markedly different hormones based on time of day. It produces melatonin‚ a hormone that affects the modulation

Anatomy Outline Notes Exam 1 Developmental Anatomy – is the way anatomy changes over time in a single species -somites are segmental blocks found in embryos that form muscles & vertebrae etc. Comparative Anatomy – is the comparison of anatomies between different species. -all known vertebrates have common feature (skull & vertebrae): this leads to evolutionary theory. Hierarchy of Structural Organization -Body -> System -> Organ -> Tissue -> Cells -> Chemical/Molecular

For P5 and M3‚ I am going to explain the dysfunctions that relate to the balance between water intake and the disturbance of water output. Then I am going to discuss it in more detail. Oedema‚ also known as dropsy‚ is one of the dysfunctions and this is when there is too much fluid retention in the body. In other words‚ the accumulation

How Marsupials adapt to the arid Australian Environment Introduction The increasing aridity of the Australian continent over the past 20 million years has favoured organisms that could adapt to dry conditions. Marsupials have developed a variety of behavioural‚ physiological and morphological adaptations to survive in these arid conditions with little or no food and free water for extended periods of time. Marsupials living in Australia’s hot arid environment must deal with exposure
