Task 2 Part A Cebita Santhosh Q1. The three main types of blood vessels in the circulatory system are veins, arteries and capillaries. The veins carry deoxygenated blood from the capillaries back to the heart. The arteries carry blood away from the heart to your tissues. The capillaries are the smallest of the body's blood vessels, only one cell thick and are found in the muscles and lungs.…
In movies and on television, they are just cold blooded killers, but according to Hannibal, the wolf plays its part in having a balanced ecosystem, just by its mere presence.…
A wolf can consume between four and thirteen pounds of food a day, but is capable of consuming up to twenty pounds of food in a single sitting (Kurta 208). An individual wolf can manage two weeks, possibly longer, without food (Swinburne 7). An emphasis is placed on teamwork within the pack when the pack has not eaten well recently, especially when the pack becomes larger. A pregnant wolf has a gestation of roughly 63 days, producing around five to seven pups upon delivery (Kurta 208). Wolves may began breeding between two and three years of age and continue to breed until ten years of age, but…
Wolf Country states, “Wolves can eat as much as 22 pounds of meat at a time and then may not eat again for many days.” Arctic wolves use scent, tracking, and chance encounters to hunt prey at dusk. They rarely hunt during the day. These animals are relatively smart animals. They don’t always feed on the slow and ill animals, but they know that they are easier to catch.…
Wolves are very interesting animals that play big roles in an ecosystem. With their spine chilling howl, that is their common recognition. They interact with animals and are the predators in the food web of their environment. Since they eat the other animals, their nutrient cycle would consist of those organisms. Wolves are amazing animals that have gone through so much.…
Wolves have large triangular ears with rounded tips, allowing for acute hearing required for tracking such prey. They have a large ratio of rods to cones in their eyes, providing them with excellent eyesight at night, as well as eyes optimised for detecting motion (Wolf Howl Organisation, 2015). A streamlined shape built for speed, is advantageous to the wolf in the chase once the prey has been spotted, and their strong bones are used in killing the larger prey (Heptner & Naumov, 1998). They have strong jaws with 42 sharp and slightly curved teeth, used to crush bone (Anwyn Info, 2015). Breaking through the bone enables them to eat the marrow, and a rough tongue covered with papillae permits them to clean such meat off of bones.…
Wolves are amazing creatures and their communication is very spectacular. The way wolves live and survive is largely based on their complex of communication. Their communication include vocalization, body language and the chemistry of scents. Vocalization includes the sounds that the wolves make to communicate different thing. Pups howl is a type of vocalization, pups howl is the adult wolves of packs know when to end their howl, but young, enthusiastic pups often do not.…
. The 8 major systems within the body are the skeletal system, the nervous system, the endocrine system, the digestive system, the lymphatic system, the urinary system, the circulatory system and the reproductive system. Skeletal system - Bones make up the structure of our body, they are what gives it form. They are hard, and dense and interconnect via joints and are held in place by muscles and tendons.…
The brain controls the contraction of skeletal muscle. The nervous system regulates the speed at which food moves through the digestive tract. The human digestive system is the organ system responsible for extracting nutrients from consumed food items and absorbing the nutritional molecules into the bloodstream. Doing this requires breaking food into smaller pieces mechanically and chemically, so that nutritional molecules are isolated and can be absorbed. This process involves the help of the muscular system.…
Question 1. a) “What serosal cavities have been penetrated by the 1st arrow?” The pleural cavity and pericardial cavity have been penetrated by the 1st arrow as they tend to appear in the thoracic cavity on the left side of the chest. b) “Explain the location, the microscopic characteristics of the serous membrane, and the purpose of the serous membrane.”…
Unit 4 – Fiona Bennett Brain Science In this unit I will be investigating the structure of the brain. The human brain is responsible for everything that happens in our bodies. On average the brain weighs 1.5 kilograms. It is one the most complex organs in the human body.…

Regulatory Behavior Monica Rhodes PSY 340 Biological Foundations of Psychology September 22, 2014 Dr. Teralyn Sell Abstract The nervous system is a vital part of our body. Without the nervous system our body would have no control over it functions and how to perform properly. Each component must work together to achieve each task no matter how big or small the task is.…
The nervous system is composed of two main parts which are the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system includes the brain and nerve cords like the spinal cord while the peripheral nervous system includes the motor nerves and sensory nerves. There are two main types of support cells in the nervous system which are glial cells and neurons. The neurons' function in the system is to receive and send electrical signals. The glial cells provide insulation and regulation to neurons.…
There are many important components of the digestive system. The first is the mouth, this is where mechanical digestion…
