Comparative Anatomy Investigation Aim: To create a scientific comparison between the Integumentary and Digestive systems between a mammal (i.e. Rat) and an amphibian (i.e. Toad). A dissection of both a rat and a toad had been completed to make a comparison between an amphibian and a mammal. In specific the Integumentary system and the Digestive system were closely observed and studied. This comparison will first investigate the Integumentary system and all similarities and differences the

Introduction An ecosystem‚ according to Oxford Dictionary is “A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment” (Oxford University Press‚ 2017). An ecosystem can range in size from a large reef to a tree stump (University of Michigan‚ 2017)‚ the range of ecosystems is staggering. This report will investigate ecosystems and the connections within them‚ using Kakadu National Park (Northern Territory‚ Australia) as a case study. This report will also cover the impacts that

The diameter of the axon in the sciatic nerve would impact how fast the action potential is conceived down the axon to the synaptic cleft and muscle (Firmin‚ L. 2014). If one of the toads had a smaller axon diameter it would allow for resistance to movement to occur due to friction. The diameter of the axon in the sciatic nerve would therefore cause the peak contractile force to be reached at different strengths and time. The number
