acquire to maintain its body temperature. One microhabitat was on a tree and under the branches; the other was at the base of the tree. We hypothesized that the microhabitat in the branches of the tree would be cooler‚ and at the base of the tree would be warmer. The average body temperature was higher in the warmer microhabitat‚ and lower in the cooler microhabitat‚ which supports our hypothesis. Under the tree branches‚ the peeps were exposed to increased convection and decreased radiation. At the base

forces provoking people’s conduct? Before the emergence of psychology as a separate discipline in the late 1800s‚ it was physiology and philosophy that helped answer these questions. For example‚ French philosopher Rene Descartes introduced the idea of dualism‚ claiming that the mind and body were two separate entities‚ interaction of which creates human experience. Physiology‚ with its research on the brain‚ also played a significant role in forming psychology as a science. In fact‚ it was a German

The main branches of science (also referred to as "sciences"‚ "scientific fields"‚ or "scientific disciplines") are commonly divided into two major groups: social sciences‚ which study human behavior and societies‚ and natural sciences‚ which study natural phenomena (including fundamental forces and biological life). These groupings are empirical sciences‚ which means the knowledge must be based on observable phenomena and be capable of being tested for its validity by other researchers working under

Those then end in clusters of microscopic air sacs called alveoli. The lungs are covered by a thin tissue layer called pleura‚ which further acts as lubricants for the lungs to slip with each breath. Physiology of the lungs: The lungs working properly will result in the successful exchange of gases. During inhalation the diaphragm contracts

“Scientific Revolution” The Scientific Revolution began in 1543 when Nicolaus Copernicus published his book De reloutionibus erbium colestium also known as On The Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres. In this book he wrote about his new theory which broke the old Ptolemaic theory. Copernicus argued that the sun does not revolve around the Earth like the Ptolemaic theory said. He said that the Earth revolves around the Sun and the Sun is the center of the universe. Even though this theory went better

Animals living in cold habitats have thick fur and blubber which help them keep warm whereas those living in warmer habitats have just the right amount of fur to help them survive perfectly.
