The classification system that groups vertebrates according to each of the classes that have been mentioned above utilizes genetics, anatomy, and the evolutionary relationships. Animals are classified starting with the kingdom which is a large body that encompasses animals that have similar characteristics and end up with ...

The psychology, history, and nature are in continuous change, and it is necessary to understand the approach that our hunter-gatherer ancestors had in past. It can be said that “A brief history of Humankind” is the best way to get into the past. In one of its chapter, there is a strong statement that summarizes many things in one line, and that is “our brain and minds were adapted to a life of hunting and gathering.” Many psychologists believe that present day social and psychological characteristics are designed after a long pre-agricultural era. And thus, today the way the ...

George Herbert (1593-1633) adopted the Metaphysical style of poetry from Donne but in a simpler manner. His famous poem “Death” is an example of the poetry that uses rhetorical forms of writing like a paradox, hyperbole, and conceits. The poem constitutes two parts that have a contradicting view of death. The First part presents death as a fearsome being through the use of hideous expressions and imagery. The second part presents death as a friend and a passage to a better life. The last three stanzas give hope to Christians through the works of Jesus Christ. Through Christ’s ...

Historical origin and development of shipyard in Istanbul

Ships and shipyards are a very old tradition in Istanbul (Cvikel & Kahanov, 2013). The pioneer shipyard was designed in 1390.

Ernest Hemingway is one of those artists, who like to expose themselves any way they like. Hemingway often used irony in his writings when depicting characters, which had life stories full of muddle and difficulties. Not many writers can boast of such an innovation brought to literature, but William Dean Howells can. He began as a critic, and later became a novelist – he is considered the champion of literary realism, who depicted each aspect of society without any embellishment. He sought to pass his own impressions to readers, to arouse their imagination and feelings – the same ones as Howells ...

It is important to really understand the dynamics and true definition of painting. There are numerous surfaces, materials, and subject matters that involve the art of painting, which will be ...

Abstract

Serial killers are loathsome individuals who murder at least three individuals, usually for psychological gratification. Gerard John Schaefer fit that description for the multiple murders he committed while operating as deputy sheriff. He clearly relished torturing and murdering young girls. His behavior and actions were attributable to his troubled childhood that was devoid of parental love. As a child, he experienced a lot of bad events that were registered in his subconscious mind and though he tried to suppress them, it reached a time when the conscious mind would involuntarily pick that information from his subconscious mind. The theory ...

Introduction

The extant record on contemporary human biology indicate that relative to other primates, the life history hallmarks of modern humans diverge in many advantageous ways. For example, researchers attribute our greater life history patterns to selective features within our genus, including relatively large brains and advanced dispersal capabilities (Bogin 1999; Flinn 2010; Hill and Hurtado 1996; Kaplan et al. 2000; Leigh 2001). Over the last decade, a mounting body of scientific research has simultaneously called into question and advanced the prevailing scientific consensus on the origin and development of the genus Homo, generally, and the foundations for the identifying ...

In the implementation of its activities in come challenges of emerging trends that do affect such departments. The US as the country has this department, and this paper seeks to identify trends that may occur in the next ten years in her Department of Homeland Security ...

The Kennewick Man’s tale acts as the most complicated story found in the modern times that creates a lot of controversy regarding the ownership of the man's remains. The Native American claims the ownership of the skull from the fact that it was located on the federal land; hence, it remained under the watch of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. However, research by an independent archeologist showed the skull existed more than 9,000 years ago, and it cannot be of Native American origin. A thorough analysis of both the Native American claim and the archeological point of ...

Australopithecus afarensis is one of the best-known human predecessors that were ever unearthed, who lived from three to four million years ago in Eastern and Southern Africa. It is also one of the first ancestors of an actual Homo sapiens who combined its ad apes’ characteristics. If we look at the images that scientists came up with when they tried to rebuild initial appearance of the hominids, we will find nothing in common with a modern human being. Australopithecus afarensis looks more like an ape – he has a flat and wide nose, heavy lower jaw with a small braincase. ...

The discovery of a partial skeleton of Ardipithecus ramidus in Africa is causing members of the scientific community to questions some of their previously held beliefs about our evolutionary past. First, this discovery questions the environment of these early hominids. Second was how the most recent common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees might have different characteristics than previously imagined. The site where Ardipithecus ramidus consisted of more than just the partial skeleton of this early ancestor of man. Alongside the human remains were over six thousand fossilized remains of animals, insects, wood, and seeds. This paleontological record suggests that ...

Slavick (4) explains that Chicago School refers to building designs in the early 19th Century. Turak (60) claim that Chicago is indeed the birthplace of skyscrapers. In 1880’s Chicago manages to develop architects referred as the First Chicago School (Turak 60). At this time, Chicago is the second largest metropolis with a high population growth in America. People consider building large commercial buildings since low-level buildings are inefficient. Chicago experiences a booming economy and a lot of innovation that enables the building of skyscrapers to allow for more space for business people.

Chicago buildings in this era display diverse styles ...

Most researchers agree that modern humans have been around for 100,000 years. However our ancestors ‘primates’ who walked upright in African plains, banded together for warmth and shelter might have lived much longer than us, estimated at around 3.2 million years. The predictions made are based on 42-inch fossil that was found in Ethiopia in 1974 by anthropologist Donald C. Johanson. This skeleton is probably the most popular fossil in the entire world and is named ‘Lucy’ after the Beatles song playing in the tape deck of researchers when it was found.

The discovery story and impact ...

- Review of the Functions of the Skeletal System

The skeletal system has about six general functions in the body of an organism. It is indicated that the skeletal system forms a vital section of the body because there are other numerous functions that particular bones perform in the body. These different bones are situated in the various parts of the body according to their functionality. The first function of the skeleton is the provision of support to softer tissues as well as giving points of attachment for most of the skeletal body muscles. The body tissues and muscles could ...

The human heart, which is roughly the size and shape of a man’s closed fist, contains 4 chambers and 4 valves. The 4 chambers of the heart that divide its internal cavity into four regions are the right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium and the left ventricle. The atria constitute the upper chambers and the ventricles comprise the lower chambers. The two atria have thin walls and receive venal blood. Deoxygenated blood from the systemic veins is received by the right atrium. The left atrium receives blood which is oxygenated from the pulmonary veins. The two ventricles have thicker ...

Impact of climatic change on the Great Barrier Reef

Climatic changes refer to lasting and significant changes in the weather patterns characterized by statistical distribution over a period spanning decades or hundred thousands of years. These changes may encompass extreme weather conditions and may happen due to variations in solar radiation reaching earth, biotic processes, volcanic eruptions, melting of the polar caps and plate tectonics. Certain activities undertaken by humans have also been recognized as contributing to negative climatic changes such as global warming. This climate change has threatened earth's ecosystems.

Lesson 5 Answers:

24.) Plants are classified into four major groups: Bryophytes, Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms and lastly the Angiosperms. Bryophytes are the plants that do not have true vascular systems, which consist of the xylem and the phloem. In this group, includes the mosses, liverworts and hornworts. Together, they are considered as land plants that reproduce their own asexually by producing spores. Spores are produced in the ‘sporangium’ (plural sporangia), a bulb-like structure located at the top of the stalk. It can only be seen through the use of high powered microscope. Because they lack vessels that can bring the nutrients from the roots ...

“Many often wonder why math is important? Often, the mere fact that this discipline is in the compulsory program of schools and universities, puts people in bewilderment. This confusion is reflected in the following: Like, why am I, a man whose future (or current) profession is not connected with the conduct of the calculations and the application of mathematical methods to know math?” (Ramana, 2007) Mathematics is a fundamental science, the methods of which are actively used in many natural disciplines, such as physics, chemistry and even biology. “By itself, this area of knowledge operates abstract relations and relationships, ...

The musculoskeletal system is responsible for all body movements. The skeletal component of the muscular system provides a structural framework for the body, which protects the internal organs and provides the shape for the body. It acts as the storage for calcium and phosphorus and plays a part in mineral homeostasis(Davidson, 2002)

Functions of the skeletal system(Haywood, 2008)

The role of the skeletal system can be classified into five categories: protection, structural support, movement, mineral and chemical storage and blood cell production. - Protection: The strong material that makes up bones protect the internal tissues and organs of the body like the brain, ears, eyes, spine, ...

Medieval period was characterized by the advancement in technology in part of agriculture and technology through various innovations. This advancement led to the flourish of trade and settlement in villages and cities. It also brought war since the advancement of weapons gave kings the urge to expand their territory.

Writing is not for everyone. Writing is a self-discipline exercise, a test of resistance, a neverending battle between yourself and the blank void that is the space you are writing in. Many people find it difficult just to write a couple of sentences, imagine writing 2, 7, 200 blank pages that stare at you, mock you, and defy your self-esteem. But we're not here to create a support group on how writing is very difficult, boo-hoo, and cry about it; we're here to discuss something: If writing is so hard, why are there writers? What is the role of this person that challenged him ...

In the human beings, the muscular system brings about movement of their entire body (Carter, 2007). There are about 700 muscles that are attached to the bones of the skeleton system, which comprise of almost half of the body weight of an individual (Clarke, 1996). Further, every muscle is, however, a discrete organ that is made up of the skeleton muscle tissue, tendons, nerves, and the blood vessels. Additionally, muscle tissue is present inside the heart, blood vessels, and the digestive organs. There are three major types of muscle tissues namely Visceral Muscle, which is found inside the intestine, stomach, ...

- Describe the normal events of fetal development. How does malnutrition impair fetal development? Normal events of fetal development: Normal events of development of a fetus take place in the inner uterine wall of the mother throughout a gestation. A fertilized egg or zygote moves through fallopian tube and reaches to the uterus. During 0 to 3-weeks of gestation, the zygote develops into an embryo within a biological pocket or amniotic sac. As the embryo develops, the amniotic sac, filled with fluid gets enlarged, where the fetus floats. This fluid protects the fetus from injury throughout gestation period. Tentacles from ...

The collection and processing of forensic evidence in the course of death investigation is an endeavor that requires different professionals from various disciplines. During death investigations, the specialist such as the forensic experts works in collaboration with the law enforcement, coroner officers, and medical practitioners. The forensic experts have the training to perform analysis of the forensic evidence that other personnel do not have. Forensic archeology is one of the disciplines that provide specialized expertise during a crime scene. A crime scene that has human remains can complicate the process of forensic evidence. The complexity in the issue leads to ...

Abstract

Bones are formed through a process known as osteogenesis from three different lineages. This process takes place through two different methods, which are intramembranous ossification and endochondral ossification. A large increment in bone mass takes place in childhood, as well as puberty, through the formation of endochondral bone. At this point, growth hormones are known to play a role. This paper will focus on the process of cartilage and bone formation and the stimulation of bone formation by the growth hormone. There are a number of factors that regulate the formation of bone, while growth hormone affects a number of factors related to ...

Introduction

The term lipids is used to refer to a group of organic compounds that are naturally occurring and that are all soluble in non-organic solvents such as benzene , chloroform, acetone and ether but not soluble in water. The later characteristic means that lipids can also be defined as amphiphilic or hydrophobic small modules. This amphophilic nature of lipids essentially allows them to be able to form structures such as liposome’s, vesicles or membranes when subjected to aqueous environments. The biological lipids mainly originate from two major build-blocks or biochemical sub-units: isoprene and ketoacyl groups. Another distinct characteristic of lipids ...

Response 5

Culture when broadly applied is a term that can be used to describe virtually all avenues and aspects of human life. In his textbook Cultural Anthropology, Richley H. Crapo defines it as “a learned system of beliefs, feelings, and rules for living around which a group of people organize their lives; a way of life of particular society” (Crapo, 2013). Perhaps that most astounding thing about humankind’s way of life is the vast diversity in culture that emerges in different groups of people. The differences in culture come from a variety of factors and one of the most important is geography. American culture ...

Introduction

The origins of these two distinct versions of the English language can be traced back to the early 17th century when British colonies were established in America. According to an article entitled “American English vs. British English” (n.d.), English also spread to other parts of the world due to the considerable reach of the British Empire at the time. But as time passed, the version of English spoken in America progressively diverged from the original British English, so that two distinct versions are now recognized. The article stated that the differences encompass not just pronunciation but also “grammar, vocabulary ( ...

Sometimes Forensic Casework items consist of less than 100 picograms (pg) of template DNA which, if we assume 3.5 pg of DNA per haploid cell, can be equated to approximately thirty haploid cells or fifteen diploid cells are termed as LCN DNA (low template DNA or LT DNA). (Gill 17) Such low copy number (LCN) samples exist due to several factors like damaged or degraded DNA, oligozoospermia or aspermic perpetrators or extended interval post coital samples, where there is loss of sperm over time because of the effects of drainage or host cell metabolism. From crime scenes, Trace ...

Muscle plays important roles in the body. Those roles are attributed to the uniqueness in its anatomy and physiology. There are different types of muscles. This extends to its structures and functions. There are smaller which are in the groups of the ocular muscles and the bigger muscle in the range of biceps.

The pursuit of wealth is chiefly practiced by Macon Dead II and it influences the way that Milkman lives until he discovers his family’s true history and he is transformed from someone who uses other people and take their devotion to him for granted into a man who is starting ...

Homo Erectus

The evolution of the vertebral column has been quite unclear ascribed to limited fossils of Miocene and Plio-Pleistocene hominids. However, the few samples discovered, have contributed significantly to the development of knowledge in line to evolution and understanding of the postcranial skeleton or otherwise the hominids. The distinctive features which encompass dental and cranial pieces avail the earliest evidence of hominids and their existence (Jurmain, Kilgore &Trevathan, 2009). The immediate hominid ancestors, as well as the modern humans, are discerned from apes by more perceptible features than the teeth and jaw dimensions (Jurmain, Kilgore &Trevathan, 2009). Examples of the ...

Subphyla chelicerata include those; arachnida, xiphosura, pycnogonida and eurypteridia. In terms of differences in fishes anatomical structure fishes ...

One of the foundational principles of modern anthropology is that cultural phenomena are not to be judged through the prism of cultural bias. In Madumo, A Man Bewitched, Adam Ashforth blurs the line between observer and participant but preserves the sanctity of cultural context. His book is a hybrid of sorts, a melding of fiction and ethnography, a story and an observation, but it does not seek to make the subject matter more palatable or comfortable for a Western reader. Ashforth lays the story before his audience and tells us that when it comes to spiritual matters, he is unquestionably a man of science, a ...

Senses and Others: Organs Systems of the Body

An organ system is a group of organs working together to perform a specific and complex function (Grabowski & Tortora, 2003). The human body is composed of 11 organ systems, all performing specific functions. This paper focuses on six organ systems, namely the integumentary system, muscular system, skeletal system, nervous system, endocrine system, and the sub-system sensory system.

The integumentary system is the system that is composed of glands, hair, nails, and the body’s largest organ: the skin. The system’s main function is to protect the other organs from invasion of harmful bacteria, viruses, and chemicals, as well as ...

“How the Great Chiefs Made the Moon and the Sun” is a Hopi legend. As its name suggests, it is a myth surrounding the creation of the moon and the sun. Many Hopi legends involve the sun as it is a central symbol in Hopi culture. The Hopi Indians, meaning good, peaceful, or wise, come from a group of South-western people called Pueblo.

However, their language is different from that of the Pueblo (Eck, 1998). They currently reside in northeast Arizona, at the south end of the Black Mesa. The Hopi Indians grew food in a similar fashion to the Navajo Indians. Their ...
