In the realm of (6) leisure technologies are motion pictures and film, television, and video games that signify the unification of technology and the production of human happiness. Yet although entertainment, the connotation of which cannot help but be predominately positive, is also subject to ...
Nuclear radiation is broadly classified into three categories, labeled with the first three letters of the Greek alphabet: α (alpha), β (beta), and γ (gamma). Alpha radiation consists of fast-moving helium nuclei, which are relatively heavy and carry two positive charges. Beta radiation co...
The drawing is from “An atlas of anatomical plates of the human body” by Frederic J. Mouat, (1849). 8. Skull Drawing from Practical Human Anatomy This labeled anatomical drawing is from “Practical Human Anatomy -(A working guide for students of medicine and a ready reference for surgeons...
Assuming the scale bar is supposed to be 1 meter (and not 20 meters or 2.0 meters as it is labeled) yields a summed cervical length of 13.4 meters, a summed dorsal length of 3.39 meters, and a cervical/dorsal ratio of 3.96–all admirably close, off by no more than 4cm across 16+...
Here’s a big apatosaur cervical, in antero-ventral view, with a dorsal rib draped over its left side. The cervical ribs are not fused in this specimen, so it was probably still growing. Here’s a labeled version: The short centrum and nearly-vertical transverse processes indicate that th...
whole body molecular imaging offers a very attractive, non-invasive tool for tracking altered transporter function and for directly evaluating drug distribution within tumors over time. Moreover, whole body imaging can provide information on the role of transporters in drug distribution, elimination, and...
Borrowed fromhttp://humanorgans.org/spinal-cord/ So to sum up, a gradual expansion of the spinal cord to help run the hindlimbs and tail IS present in dinosaurs — and birds, and cows, and frogs, and us. But if that qualifies as a ‘second brain’, then we also have a ‘third ...
Borrowed fromhttp://humanorgans.org/spinal-cord/ As a refresher, there’s nothing terribly special about thelumbosacral expansionof the spinal cord — you have one, labeled as the ‘lumbar enlargement’ in the above diagram. Where the spinal cord has adjacent limbs to run, it has more neuron...
In mammals the space between the dura mater and the bony walls of the neural arch is filled with epidural fat. This isn’t unhealthy fat, this is fat used as packing peanuts — the lightest, cheapest thing the body can build. (We’re a fat-0bsessed culture so it may sound weird to...
