How did the monstrous giant squid – reaching school-bus size, with eyes as big as dinner plates and tentacles that can snatch prey 10 yards away – get so scarily big? Today, important clues about the anatomy and evolution of the mysterious giant squid (Architeuthis dux) are revealed throug...
Anatomy: The largest-known Architeuthis was 57 feet (17.5 m) long. They have eight arms, two longer feeding tentacles, a beak, a large head, and two eyes, each the size of a basketball. They breathe using gills. Diet: Giant squid are fast-moving carnivores (meat-eaters) that catch ...
The biophysical studies that formed the foundation for the theoretical model were conducted in the giant axon of the squid, whose unusually large size allowed electrodes to be placed inside its cell membrane. The potential value of the squid giant axon for these types of studies was first ...
An applied electric field will polarize air molecules, and if sufficient to force electrons off the molecules, those electrons can collide with other molecules and can start a discharge, or electric arc.‘https://science.nasa.gov/ems/02_anatomy A charged particle produces an electric field. ...
