Synopsis. The chromatophore organs of Loligo are each composed of five types of cells: a central pigment cell; radially arranged, obliquely striated muscle fibers; neuronal pro? cesses; glial cells; and an investment of sheath cells. Sheath cells are absent in Octopus chromatophore organs. The cycle of expansion and retraction of a chromatophore organ may occur within the order of a second. It is clear that the muscle fibers expand the pigment cell and spread out the pigment granules. The pigment is contained within an unusual, filamentous, cytoplasmic compartment called the cytoelastic sacculus. This com? partment has elastic properties.
Reflector cells and iridocytes produce structural colors even though their components are colorless. Reflector
Make three exposures using given technical factors on a phantom knee in PA position . Include saline bags in exposures 1 and 2 to demonstrate patient soft tissue thickness.
The oxidation number of an atom of any free element is ZERO. Means to say there is only one kind of atom present, no charge.
Abstract: This experiment was exploring our curiosity of sowbugs and their preferences. Our main question was about how the sowbugs natural diet can affect their preference for sodium chloride also known as table salt and glucose which is also known as sugar. The experiment involved testing how much time each sowbug spent in each substance when in a tray with both salt and sugar on opposite sides.
The 2002 Afghanistan earthquake measured 5.9 on the Richter scale and killed 1,800 people. The 2001 western Washington earthquake measured 6.8 on the Richter scale and killed only one person. Can you imagine why the huge difference in the numbers of deaths? Hint: It has to do with construction materials.
The octopus has several main organs that are vital to its survival; the brain for its intelligence; the ink sack for its defense; and the arms for capturing its prey. This paper will discuss these different organs and how they have evolved physiologically to its environment.
In this experiment, the main objective was to synthesize a ketone from borneol via an oxidation reaction and secondly, to produce a secondary alcohol from camphor via a reduction reaction. Therefore, the hypothesis of this lab is that camphor will be produced in the oxidation reaction and isoborneol will be the product of the reduction reaction because of steric hindrance. For the oxidation step, a reflux will be done and then a microscale reflux for the reduction step. The products will be confirmed using Infrared spectroscopy, the chromic acid test, 2,4-DNP test and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The results of this
When looking over my results, I found that the pH level increased from a neutral pH to a basic level of pH. The Miracle- Gro fertilizer that I used is supposed to have a pH of 7. This surprised me because I would think that adding a 10% fertilizer solution would make the water acidic. I thought that the fertilizer would be more acidic because when we learned about rivers, we found out that acid rain decreased the dissolved oxygen levels; also, Eutriporication results in low dissolved oxygen levels. Therefore I believed that the fertilizer would be acidic because of my background knowledge of dissolved oxygen in water. Regardless, the basic water killed the algae, elodea plant and the snails in the water. I also thought that eutrophication would occur in the water when
The mole is a convenient unit for analyzing chemical reactions. Avogadro’s number is equal to the mole. The mass of a mole of any compound or element is the mass in grams that corresponds to the molecular formula, also known as the atomic mass. In this experiment, you will observe the reaction of iron nails with a solution of copper (II) chloride and determine the number of moles involved in the reaction. You will determine the number of moles of copper produced in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the number of moles of iron used up in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper, and determine the number of atoms and formula units involved in
Before beginning this experiment, the completion of an IRB Form and a Written Consent Form for the usage of human participants. After Bethel College agreed to approve this experiment, the testing began. The Bethel College Biology Department approved the materials needed for this experiment. These materials were easily attained from Wal-Mart located in Newton, Kansas which included: three bottles of Listerine Zero Total Care ®, two one hundred count packs of one ounce Kroger ® disposable bathroom cups, one two hundred-fifty count pack of Kroger ® plastic spoons, and one twenty-nine fluid ounce tub of Tropical Life ® Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. The Bethel College Biology Department supplied a laboratory that housed the equipment needed
It has a sudden sharp rise and fall. The screenshot we have does not show one, however, at the beginning of this experiment one occurred. This could cause an incorrection in the results as it may be mistaken for other activities that occur. The muscle artefacts are often characterised by being regular beta waves. In the screenshot above, small regular waves are seen, due to a small muscle movement occurring.
This is because once a contraction has started, the action potential has already fired, stimularing the muscle fibers. Once they
Exercise 2: Skeletal Muscle Physiology: Activity 3: The Effect of Stimulus Frequency on Skeletal Muscle Contraction Lab Report Pre-lab Quiz Results You scored 100% by answering 4 out of 4 questions correctly. 1. During a single twitch of a skeletal muscle You correctly answered: b. maximal force is never achieved. 2. When a skeletal muscle is repetitively stimulated, twitches can overlap each other and result in a stronger muscle contraction than a stand-alone twitch. This phenomenon is known as You correctly answered: c. wave summation. 3. Wave summation is achieved by You correctly answered: a. increasing the stimulus frequency (the rate of stimulus delivery to the muscle). 4. Wave summation increases the force produced in the muscle.
Lumo labs conducted an experiment which investigated the effect of Lumosity training on normal healthy adults. 23 participants were distributed into two groups, one received the Lumosity training and the other didn’t. The duration of the brain training 20 minutes of Lumosity per day, once a day, for five
Throughout the semester, we carried out a variety of chemical experiments, which included a computer practical, prelab preparation, laboratory reports there were workshops and Cerego an online assignment resource. The combination of these formed our Portfolio assessment.
