Acoustic signals are extensively used for guiding various behaviors in frogs such as vocalization and phonotaxis. While numerous studies have investigated the anatomy and physiology of the auditory system, our knowledge of intrinsic properties and connectivity of individual auditory neurons remains poor. ...
The human respiratory system is comprised of special organs designed to take in oxygen for the air we breathe and expel carbon monoxide, keeping us alive. Let's take a closer look at these organs and explore respiratory physiology in more detail.

The production of sex hormones by congenital hyperplasias or malignancies of the adrenal cortex has long been recognized as suggestive of a biochemical relationship between the adrenal cortex and the gonads. The embryological origin of these tissues from
on the details of plant-pollinator relationships, but more importantly on the physiological details of mechanoreception in plants, the anatomy and physiology of the transmission of the stimulus and the basis of the mechanical response specifically in Loasoideae flowers and for plants in general. ...
Animals have played a vital role in every stage of space exploration, from early sub-orbital flights to contemporary missions. New physiological and psychological challenges arise with plans to venture deeper into the solar system. Advances in chimeric a

Describe the anatomical observations and functions of 5 digestive organs. Explain the anatomy and physiology of the digestive system? How is emulsification different than digestion? What are the principal differences in structure between the small intestine and large intestine? Also, explain the...
1 Basic introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the vestibular system The vestibular end organ is housed in the inner ear and consists of three semi-circular canals, and the otolith organs (i.e., utricle and saccule). It detects head acceleration and passes this information via the vest...
