Arterial system of frog Blood vessels, which carry oxygenated blood away from heart to different part of the body, are called arteries. They constitute a system called arterial system. Truncus arterious gives two branches right aortic trunk and left aortic trunk. Each aortic trunk again divides into three branches- a) Carotid arch: it divides into – Lingual artery – it supplies blood to tongue and hyoid. Common carotid – it supplies blood to buccal cavity and brain. it consists swelling at the…

research on how the caffeine affects the cardiovascular system, we wanted to test the effect of different concentrations of caffeine on the heart. We used ECG stimulator on LabScribe 2 software to monitor the heart rate. We used frogs as a test subject, since both frogs and humans have a closed cardiovascular system, therefore the effect on the frog’s heart would parallel the situation of a human heart. We quantitatively measured the heart rate and found out that caffeine significantly increases…

Sweep and dust and afterward, clean some more. As Snow White would say, “Just whistle while you work… and as you sweep the room imagine that the broom is someone that you love.” This well-known song mirrors one of the many concepts involved in the negative stereotype associated with Disney princesses, distinctly outlined by Rachael Johnson, a writer for the Education Specialist: “Princesshood is bound with being weak, passive, subservient to males, dutiful, and incapable of living an independent…

Although human and frog hearts do not look the exact same, they do act very similar. Human hearts have four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. Contrarily, frog hearts have only three chambers: two atria and one ventricle. Frogs are helpful in scientific research of the heart and its many functions because human hearts can obviously not be used. In this case, the frog hearts are helpful in determining the effects of different chemicals on the heart. Certain chemicals and agents effect the…

When putting a frog in a pot with boiling water in it, the frog will jump out of the pot immediately. However, when it was put in a pot of cold water and the pot was slowly heated, the frog would be boiled alive and die in the pot. However, this story is proved not true recently. According to Fast Company (2006), J. Debra Hofman did a new examination of the boiling frogs. “We placed Frog A into a pot of cold water and applied moderate heat. At 4.20 seconds, it safely exited the pot with a leap…

around us. We did this both metaphorically and literally, when we cut open rocks and animals to see what was hidden deep inside. My first experience with a dissection was certainly a memorable one. My science teacher, Ms. Kroc, wore her frog socks and jewelry for frog…

In 2012 the Walt Disney Company released a commercial entitled “I am a Princess” that shows a diverse array of young girls doing many different activities while inspirational music plays in the background and the voice of a young girl proclaims what qualities make up a princess. When this video is viewed through the lens of the construction of gender, the audience can see that the video has a rhetorical purpose. The “I am a Princess” commercial makes the argument that the ideal feminine figure…
