adaptation to the muscle and bone structure around the core of their body to protect the interior organs and withstand a larger amount of pressure (Kaiser, 313). All of these traits have consequences for flight. The higher the density of the bird, the less likely they will be able to create enough lift in order to fly. The adjustment to the wing shape and thickness means less area pushing against the water, causing less moment on the birds’ joints. Adjusting the bones and muscles to elongate…

why anura was used to conduct this experiment was because the human body and the body of the anura are homeostasis. Both frogs and humans possess a skull, spine, central nervous system, and the bones of the limbs are given the same names for each species.

A majority of these discoveries can be credited to the damages left by new artillery and guns that were capable of obliterating flesh and bone (Clarke). These new guns could fire accurately up to 10 miles away. They also gave off shrapnel, or pieces of scrap metal that housed the ammunition, which could also cause injury (Ellis and Elser). Medicine had never seen trauma to this extent…
