P5- Explain dysfunction in relation to water balance and its possible treatments. M3- Discuss dysfunctions in relation to water balance and its possible treatments. For P5 and M3‚ I am going to explain the dysfunctions that relate to the balance between water intake and the disturbance of water output. Then I am going to discuss it in more detail. Oedema‚ also known as dropsy‚ is one of the dysfunctions and this is when there is too much fluid retention in the body. In other words‚ the accumulation

How Marsupials adapt to the arid Australian Environment Introduction The increasing aridity of the Australian continent over the past 20 million years has favoured organisms that could adapt to dry conditions. Marsupials have developed a variety of behavioural‚ physiological and morphological adaptations to survive in these arid conditions with little or no food and free water for extended periods of time. Marsupials living in Australia’s hot arid environment must deal with exposure

Ceratopsians and Pachycephalosaurs Around 144 million years ago‚ began the emergence of the Ornithischian dinosaurs during the cretaceous period and diversified into North America and Asia. Ornithischians were classified as having a hip structure similar to that of birds‚ although they are not the descendants of birds. Marginocephalians‚ meaning "fringed heads" are a group of Ornithischians that have a distinctive skull structure‚ consisting of a slight shelf or bony frill on the back of the
