In every part of the surrounding, in which humans dwell in, no matter in water, land, air, or elsewhere, there reign tiny yet complex lives. The in depths study of these living organisms bring human a face to face consequence with an astounding miracle of the creation of God. The astounding part of the living organisms have led us some understanding of the awe-inspiring structure of every life from as small as 0.0000001 to over 0.1. These photomicrographs unveiled the miracle and astounding lives as illustrated below. This microscope image was captured by Spike Walker. It shows a trachea of the silkworm which carries oxygen from the openings within the surface of its body or spiracles. The tracheal tubes are divided into a branch of …show more content…
This in turns enables the cells to move flexibly via the tinniest blood capillaries. These iron-rich protein hemoglobin cells are mainly manufactured in the bone marrow (soft tissue inside the bones), particularly in the bones that make up the spine, pelvis, skull, sternum (breastbone) and ribs of the vertebrates. Their lifespan is only 4 months and each day our body produces new blood red cells to replace those that are dead or lost from our body.

It looks like a delicate masterpiece of the mosaic. (Source: Steven Valley, Oregon Department of Agriculture, Plant Division Salem, Oregon, USA.) This photo shows the eggs of a spider (Mimetidae sp.) with a sheath of silk (30x). After laying the eggs, the spider will spun silk through spinnerets located on its posterior part of the abdomen to protect its eggs. At this stage, as you could see from the photo, its silk looks like a fried egg. (Source: Christian Gautier, BIOS/PHONE Photo Agency Avignon, France.)

The circulatory system of the blackworm is closed containing arteries, veins and a muscular pumping dorsal vessel which contracts enabling blood to be moved from the posterior end, where gas exchange occurs, to the anterior region, the head of the

The next system I dissected was the respiratory system. My first task was to find the trachea as well as the esophagus. My goal was to compare the structure of each. I found the trachea to be wider, stronger, and it had a bumpy surface. The structure of the esophagus is small, but versatile which allows it to move easily.
These microorganisms are used to teach us how multicellular organisms came to be and how they can survive today. These small, microscopic organisms are so unique that the identification of them is paramount in the advancements of science. Knowing the chemical makeup, the shape, and the biochemical processes is important in identifying these organisms to understand how they survive and where. A number of tests can be ran on an unknown bacteria to determine their ideal
It is green, with seven white stripes. The Tobacco Hornworm has a red horn on its behind. It has multiple small orange spots on its side, known are spiracles, which is what the insect breathes out of. During what is known as the Tobacco Hornworms “wandering phase” the presence of the insect’s aorta, or its heart, is located at the back of the insect and is seen pumping blood. Why is this organism studied?
Thrombocytopenia is a condition in which the body does not have a normal number of platelets in the blood. Blood is made up of three major cell types: red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body; white blood cells, which help fight infection; and, platelets, which stick together at the site of a cut or wound to form a clot to stop the bleeding. People who have thrombocytopenia don’t have enough platelets to form a blood clot, and so they may bleed excessively when they are cut. (nhlbi.nih.gov, 2013) Blood cells and platelets are made in the bone marrow, which is the spongy tissue inside the bones.
In which of the following locations does the development of blood call take place? a. Bone Marrow b. Spongy
• Hip bone • Sternum • Skull • Ribs • Vertebrae • Scapula • The ends of long bones Red marrow is so valuable because it is where blood stem cells are found. Bone broth rich in red marrow provides those stem cell factors which ultimately build your body’s strength and support your immune function A dash of apple cider. ; Bone is an excellent source of calcium and phosphorus, and to a lesser degree, magnesium, sodium, potassium, sulfate and fluoride In the digestion process, hydrochloric acid helps to break down food in the stomach but is also necessary to extract elemental minerals from food.
Luna Moth (Actias luna) Characteristics The luna moth is easy to spot compared to the other small brown moth species, the luna moth has pale green wings, furry white bodies, pinkish legs and a wingspan around 95mm long. The green wings on the moth makes them to well hidden on leaves of birch trees. Each of the four wings has an eyespot and the antennae of males are feathery.
Unlike our cardiac chambers earth worm circulate blood through vessels, which inspired so deeply that I started thinking to make my career in the
There is an overwhelming amount of support for theories on the origin of life. Although each theory differs to one another, all proposed theories imply that life has evolved from single-celled microorganisms to the complex multicellular life forms that have existed over millions of years. The first hypothesis I am evaluating is the Panspermia hypothesis. Panspermia, from Ancient Greek is defined as (pan) meaning ‘all’, and (sperma) meaning ‘seeds’.
Wislawa Szymborska’s Perception on Human’s Place in the Universe “Microcosmos”, by Wislawa Szymborska, explains how understanding bacteria expanded human’s understanding of the universe. Throughout the poem, she draws comparison between how small humans are in the vastness of the universe, and how bacteria are so small compared to humans. Szymborska depicts human existence as insignificant when compared to the massive scale of the universe in her poem, “Microcosmos”. The title, “Microcosmos”, is itself an oxymoron which describes how learning about bacteria enlarged human’s understanding of their small place in the universe. The prefix “micro” denotes smallness, whereas the root “cosmos” refers to an entire solar system, much larger than human civilization.
Spiders inevitably make webs, it is part of their nature to do so, however each spider’s web is unique in its own way. A spider web can be compared to its mark on the world. The web is connected through different pieces of filament, each piece
Fungi, is also an example of microbial life. They are unicellular or multicellular eukaryotes and are made up of a mass of threadlike hyphae forming mycelium. The cell wall are made from chitin. A mushroom is an example of
