Anderson and Trueman. Essential oils and their chemical constituents offer a safe alternative to synthetic acaricides for the control of this mite in bee hives. The present study was conducted to evaluate anti-parasitic activity of essential oils from Thymus kotschyanus Bioss & Hohen., Mentha longifolia L., Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh., and Ferula gummosa L. at concentrations of 1, 2.5, 4, and 5.5 µl/l air for 5 and 10 h. Findings indicated that mite mortality increased as oils concentration…

1 Hypothalamus – a small region of the brain that is a major link between the nervous and endocrine system. The hypothalamus controls the autonomic nervous system and regulates body temperature, hunger, thirst, fear, rage, and sexual behavior. The hypothalamus control feeling such as pain, stress, and emotional experiences. (1) 2 Pituitary gland – the “master endocrine gland” because it secretes many hormones that control other endocrine glands. It is a “pea-shaped structure that attaches to…

The Bubonic Plague is a bacteria known as Yersinia Pestis that infects the lymphatic system causing it to become inflamed (Tonsils, Adenoids, Spleen, and Thymus). The bacteria needs calcium to grow but when there is no calcium it produces amino acids called aspartic acid. Aspartic acid raises the blood plasma level of aspartate and glutamate. This excess can lead to damage of sensitive neurons. It can also help generate cellular energy, balance neurochemistry, and help the liver rid the body of…

The neuromuscular junctions are in all humans and control skeletal muscles and smooth muscles. Skeletal muscles are attached and anchored to the bones, so when they are signaled to constrict, they work similar to a levy system and cause the human body to move (Martyn et. al, 1993). The smooth muscles, however, are not involved with bodily movement; smooth muscles are involved with involuntary function. Both muscle groups are equally important and both require the neuromuscular junction in order…

converted into energy. It is symbolized by a ten petal lotus. Anahata The Anahata is the heart. This Chakra is responsible for love and other complex emotions, as well as your sense of equilibrium and well being overall.

food. It has an endocrine function because it releases several things directly into the bloodstream and it ranges from 6-8 inches long. It also has an exocrine function where it releases pancreatic fluids with several enzymes to help digest food. The thymus gland is not only an endocrine gland, but also an immune system organ. It helps with the creation of T cells, very important white blood cells. It is triangular organ located in the mediastinum of the thoracic cavity superior and anterior to…

infections through the use of white blood cells, antibodies (produced by the tonsils and thymus), the spleen and even the bone marrow. 10. The Integumentary System: A little known, little appreciated system in the human body, the integumentary system is comprised of our hair and nails to protect the body from disease and promote internal balance. 11. The Lymphatic System: Comprised of the spleen, tonsils, thymus and lymph nodes, the lymphatic system helps fight disease and maintain its…

I Blame the Hormones By: Taylor Aubin Organs and tissues that make up the endocrine system are the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, thymus, suprarenal glands, pineal gland, parathyroid glands, heart, kidneys, adipose tissue, digestive tract, pancreas, and gonads. The effects of the endocrine system are vast and impact almost every organ and cell of the body. This system produces hormones that help maintain homeostasis through the regulation of metabolism, growth, tissue function,…

NF Stage 56 corresponds to a 38 day old tadpole as can be seen in Figure2.2. At this point, their elbows and wrists are clearly distinguishable, the length of the free parts of their fingers are three to four times their breadth, while the lengths of the fourth and fifth toes cartilage are six times their breadth. The tadpole measures a total length of 70 – 100mm (Nieuwkoop & Faber, 1994). Figure 2.2: Stage 56, 38 day old tadpole (Nieuwkoop & Faber, 1994). 2.3.5.3.3 Stage 57 NF Stage…
