* How would you describe the structure and function of this animal’s respiratory system? Include any unique characteristics.

Secondly, the human body, crayfish, earthworm, and frog also have many similarities and differenced of how their respiratory system works. The crayfish respiratory system is the least complex. Crayfish have gills, which are used to release carbon dioxide and to pick up oxygen, by having a constant flow of blood. Frogs consist of nostrils and larynx, which opens up two lungs. The walls of the lungs are filled with capillaries. Capillaries are

Basically speaking, an earthworm has two muscles, circular and longitudinal, that allow for locomotion with the muscular system. They run throughout their entire bodies and also help with contraction.

The lateral line system is able to help the shark “sense tiny vibrations in the water.” The shark can feel the vibrations of a fish that is swimming away, or a fish that is thrashing around. The lateral line system is “situated just under the skin”, and is along the “snout and along either side of the shark’s body”, the lateral lines are ”canals that are filled with fluid” and “tiny modified hair cells”. Pores open up and let fluids (seawater) move along the canals and brush against the hairs, which sends the brain messages on where the vibration is coming from. Lastly, the lateral line can sense odor clouds (plumes) and trails, which is called “Eddy Chemotaxis”.

They have a single closed circulatory system consisting of a two-chambered heart. Blood is pumped from the heart to the gills and then the rest of the body and back to the heart.

Some contain a vascularized lung function in their branchial chamber to conduct gas exchange when on land; some breathe using gills on land if their gills are kept moist. Their digestive waste exits through the anal sphincter.

In their Respiratory system, the trachea allows the carbon dioxide filled air into the lungs,

Bullfrogs are just frogs. Bullfrogs have something different from fogs. Bull frogs can live up to 6-10 years. They can turn out to be really huge too. They sometimes look slimy too. There skin type would be permeable.

An international team of Scientists have discovered a new lineage of extinct plankton feeding sharks called pseudomegachasma. These sharks are said to have inhabited the warm oceans of nearly 100 million years ago. From data of newly collected fossil teeth, it is found that this new lineage of extinct sharks is very similar to the modern-day plankton eating megamouth shark. Lead Author professor Kenshu Shimada also states that these sharks would have evolved independent of the four known modern-day planktivorous cartilaginous fishes. These consist of the megamouth shark, basking shark, whale sharks, and manta rays. This discovery of the new lineage of extinct vertebrates is what makes this article completely relevant to the topic of week fourteen.

In this experiment we dissected a frog. A frog is a tailless amphibian with short squat body. It has moist skin, and very long hind legs for leaping. Frogs are a diverse and largely carnivous. Its scientific name is Anura has a life span of 10 to 12 years. The frog habitat is in or near ponds. The eggs hatch out into tiny tadpoles which cling to the pond weed feather- like external gills on the side of the head. They eat the algae in the pond and other vegetable matter.

While it is true that ignorance and power-holding led to the farm’s corruption, manipulation was the most influential in the corruption of the animal farm. All of these factors eventually led to Animal Farm’s corruption. Ignorance played a big role as well as Power-holding. However, Manipulation played the biggest role in the corruption of Animal Farm. One factor that led to the corruption of the Animal Farm was ignorance.

Population experts predict that, by the year 2100, there will be 10 billion humans on the Earth. And yet, the world has not made valid plans regarding how to develop enough food to feed that number of people. Second only to clean water availability, feeding their people could end up being the biggest problem facing many countries around the world. The five countries with the highest projected populations are India, China, Nigeria, the United States, and Tanzania. Those countries alone are expected to have a combined populace of 4 billion hungry souls. That’s a lot of people to feed.

They have a system of tubes which carries oxygen to carbon dioxide away from the cells. The respiratory system of the honey bee is made up of a cycle of tubes called the trachea. For example higher groups or species of animals oxygen has been taken throughout the body by the blood, however in bees including all insects, blood cannot be used to transport oxygen, instead the trachea are used.Introducing the system of breathing tubes or tracheal for gas exchange, is associated with the outside world called the spiracles through which air is worn in and removed

Mt Vesuvius is a famous mountain. Mt Vesuvius lies on the outskirts of Naples, Italy and is one of the most famous volcanoes in the world. Mt Vesuvius is a stratovolcano which means it was built in alternate layers, these layers were layers of lava and ash. Around seventeen to twenty five years ago Mt Vesuvius was formed.

The air with then travel through the bronchi, which branches off into bronchioles. Each bronchiole has lots of very little air sacs called alveoli. Alveoli hold the gas and are the gas exchange site for exchange between the lungs and blood, and is what allows the oxygen to get into the blood, by being surrounded my lots of capillaries taking the oxygen away. This system is adaptation of the lungs. Additionally, there are is another adaptation of a humans gas exchange system, the first is ventilation or in short breathing.
