Thorax

Ectopia Cordis is a prenatal malformation in which the heart develops outside of the thorax, alongside locations such as the chest, neck, or abdomen. This genetic disorder surfaces during the second trimester of pregnancy, and is discerned through an ultrasound. Abott was the first to discover Ectopia Cordis in 1898. The symptoms resulting from Ectopia Cordis include malformation of the heart, a cleft palate, spinal defects, and pulmonary atresia, or underdevelopment of the pulmonary valve.…

The rapid-cycling Brassica rapa was developed by Dr. Paul Williams over a fifteen year period of using simple breeding techniques. These Brassica rapa plants develop remarkably quickly, flowering between thirteen and eighteen days after being planted. These plants are relatively small but need a continuous amount of water and cool white fluorescent lighting. Students in the botany lab were told to conduct experiments and to conduct research using the Brassica rapa. The purpose of the experiment…

The thorax is where pollen is stored, it is considered the “core” of the honey bees body. The thorax is also where the legs and wings are located. Like most insects, the honeybee has 6 legs. Bees use their front legs to untangle pollen from their hairy bodies, the pollen is then transferred to their…

too hot or too cold for the living organism. Ecology is basically a study that handles relationships of organisms and how they relate to their environment or ecosystem. What is a mealworm?

The invertebrate family is a group of species that don’t exactly have a spine. The mealworm start off as an egg, then once they…

the sternum articulate directly with each other, while in the avian skeleton, they do not. The clavicles in the human skeleton act as struts for the shoulder and allow the arm to move with the maximum range of movement by keeping it away from the thorax. On the other hand, the shoulder girdle in birds do not have clavicles as they pertain to the human skeleton. Instead, the avian shoulder girdle has something called the furcula, which is two clavicles which have been fused…

Background: Emergency thoracotomy is a rare but lifesaving procedure in victims of chest trauma especially with penetrating wounds. In the United States, 9 percent of all trauma-related deaths occur from injuries to the thorax, of which one-third involve a penetrating mechanism. In an internal survey, 80% of cardiothoracic surgeons felt that special training is required and only 7% reported that they regularly practice emergency thoracotomy in arrest. We plan to develop an emergency thoracotomy…

Honey bees are reddish-brown and black with orange-yellow rings on there back.…

muscle contractions happen at the same time to allow air in the lungs. The intercostals muscles contract forcing the ribs upwards and outwards then the diaphragm contracts and flattens these two in and out movement, which increases the volume of the thorax. these chain reactions allow the body to draw air into the lungs which is all done though muscle…
