Thorax

Order Hymenoptera, the third-largest order of insects, comprises the sawflies, wasps, bees, and ants. Over 150,000 species are recognized (Janke 2), with many more remaining to be described. Many factors have led to this order’s success, through the development of wings, their immense range of behavioral adaptation, and namely: their highly complex ways of self-defense, mainly those of the biochemical and morphological nature. From the famous “cow-killer” to the range of stings of the Vespidae,…

⌂ Home Melanie ⚙ Help Press ? for keyboard shortcuts. What does the pest look like? Caterpillars are the larval stage of butterflies and moths.

Lung function test The pulmonary function test sounds like only one test, but it consists of multiple tests which if you don’t ask questions you would not have known about them. When just observing the lung function test one would see all patients blowing into a mouth piece for 8 hours and not think much of it. On being more interactive with the clinical technicians I was able to distinguish three very specific tests that are used to obtain a complete evaluation of the patient’s respiratory…

Humerus: The humerus connects the shoulder with the elbow, it allows the lower part of the arm to move in a wide range of directions without any difficulty. Ulna: The ulna…

when flying. In an environment where the specie is among other populations, the pattern of pre-flight warm up, basking, and flight may change with temperature, habitat, and other environmental factors. I will use thermistors and place them in the thorax of the butterfly to measure the temperature of the butterfly throughout the day. Thermistors have sensors that are sensitive to thermal changes and can be placed using small beads which are harmless to the specie. Basking postures which have…

1) Informing clients about their current illness or health status will encourage them to follow medical treatment regimes while also allowing them to figure out personalized coping strategies (Bastable & Alt, 2014). Having this information will result in the chances of complications to decrease (Bastable & Alt, 2014). Evaluating the clients knowledge gaps and filling them in will not only help us care providers but will lead to better client outcomes. It is also a process that includes the…

The incidence of atrial fibrillation increases with age which can causes serious problems in older people, leading to stroke and/or heart failure. Risk factors include hypertension, previous ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack or other thromboembolic event, coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus, heart failure, and mitral valve disease (Holding et al., 2009). In addition to advanced age, patients that are obese, of the Caucasian race, or have a history of excessive alcohol use are at…

The pelvis was primitive and the hands were a mixture of human hands but were also curved like primitive hands. They were bipedal and their…
