The Canada Goose
Number of words: 3286 - Number of pages: 12.... before the hunter ever sees the goose
(Wormer). This eyesight is essential for flying though, a Canada Goose can see
three quarters of a sphere without moving its head (Wormer). The Canada Goose
also has an acute sense of hearing, it's ears are positioned on the side of it's
head (Wormer). They have either no sense of smell or a very poor one, but this
does not impede the goose in any way (Wormer). Although there is a large
variation in size all subspecies of Canada Geese look the same physically
(Wormer) The male and female Canada Goose look almost exact .....

Arthritis 2
Number of words: 867 - Number of pages: 4.... and becomes perforated by ulcers.
Many of the changes that occur in the joints of people with rheumatoid arthritis and osteo-arthritis are assumed to be caused by a disease process, when in fact they are often a consequence of relative immobility. These findings underscore the enormous importance of exercise in the fight against arthritis.
You should realize that immobility will set off the destructive set of events. After four or five months, such degeneration may be quite well along, so that even if you initiate a program of vigorous exercise, you may .....

Cellular Respiration
Number of words: 366 - Number of pages: 2.... of these reactions, each pyruvic acid molecule is transformed into a two-carbon compound called an acetyl group. The two acetyl groups combine with a molecule of coenzyme A each to form two acetyl coenzyme A molecules. These molecules are processed in a complex pathway called the Krebs cycle. As the Krebs cycle progresses through both pyruvic acid molecules, six molecules of NADH, two molecules of ATP, and additional carbon dioxide are all formed. FAD picks up a hydrogen atom from each pyruvic acid molecule, and a total of 2 FAD2 are formed. NADH and FAD2 t .....

Number of words: 1808 - Number of pages: 7.... returns to normal and the stretch receptor stop getting stimulated.
#2 You are having severe stomach cramps, the doctor says that you secretin receptors have been blocked. How has this affected your digestive process and what two hormones might be able to alleviate one of the affects.
Secretion inhibits stomach movement, emptying, slows secretion of gastric juices and causes bicarbonate to be dumped in from the pancreas and liver to the small intestine. This neutralizes the acid that is coming in. Since this process does not occur there is an increase of emp .....

Hemp - Miricale Plant
Number of words: 362 - Number of pages: 2.... could stay in the ground. The plant produces far more and safer chemical compounds suitable for conversion to methane than any other plant. This renewable fuel contains no sulfur and while growing helps remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere via photosynthesis. For thousands of years, all good paints and varnishes were made from an oil from the plant. Today, it has almost been totally replaced by chemically derived oils. In closing, it is estimated that if just 6 percent of all our farmable land were seeded with this plant, it could supply us with all our .....

The Giant Anteater
Number of words: 346 - Number of pages: 2.... in and
out of their mouths up to 150 times per minute (Schupska 1). The giant
anteaters lives on the ground. It walks with its front feet turned on the
sides to protect its claws, which the animal uses to rip open ant nest
before eating. Then it flits its long tongue and literally licks up the
ants. The anteater precedes to rip oben a termite or ant hill with its
clawed hand and work its tubular snout down into the heart of the colony,
trapping the insects on its tongue's sticky coating (Encarta ‘98). The
anteater also uses the claws as a defense mechinism .....

Our Solar System At A Glance
Number of words: 4469 - Number of pages: 17.... World War II enabled
our machines to break the grip of Earth's gravity and travel to the Moon
and to other planets.
The United States has sent automated spacecraft, then human-crewed
expeditions, to explore the Moon. Our automated machines have orbited and
landed on Venus and Mars; explored the Sun's environment; observed comets,
and made close-range surveys while flying past Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus and Neptune.
These travelers brought a quantum leap in our knowledge and
understanding of the solar system. Through the electronic sight and oth .....

History Of The Prostate Gland

occurs very slowly and is usually limited within the
prostate gland. Later on in the course of the illness, the
prostate gland cells can spread around the body,
particulary to the bones where they can paues pain and
disability. Estimates show that the cancer may have been
growing in some men for up to 10 yearsbefore it causes
symptoms and is diagnosed. Some men develop symptoms
whereas others do not. In those who that do, the following
symptoms are commonly found:
