Reproductive System.
in which the young develop, and a thinner channel, the vagina, which opens exteriorly. V GENITALS In animals that lay their eggs and discharge their sperm into water, the spermatozoa reach the eggs by chemical attraction; the eggs of individuals of a species attractonly the sperm of members of the same species. When eggs and sperm are deposited at great distances from each other, the number of eggs fertilized is small. Manyamphibians and aquatic vertebrates solve this problem by attaching thems...

Turtle.
Turtles use their jaws to cut and handle food. Instead of teeth, a turtle’s upper and lower jaws are covered by horny ridges, similar to a bird’s beak. Meat-eating turtlescommonly have knife-sharp ridges for slicing through their prey. Plant-eating turtles often have ridges with serrated edges that help them cut through tough plants.Turtles use their tongues in swallowing food, but unlike many other reptiles, such as chameleons, they cannot stick out their tongues to capture food.

Animal Courtship and Mating - biology.
activity. These animals frequently copulate in water, and the penis helps transfer sperm before it is carried away by the currents Ostriches and rheas also contain apenis within the cloaca. Virtually all snakes and lizards display yet another variation of internal fertilization. Located in the tail are two penises, called hemepenes, which are covered by spinesand knobs that help lock it into place during mating. The male uses one hemepene at a time for copulation. Male salamanders secrete large...

Amphibian (animal) - biology.
strong enough to kill potential predators. C Hearing, Vision, and Vocalizations Amphibians rely on their senses to find food and evade predators. Amphibians lack external ears but have well-developed internal ears. Hearing is most acute in frogs,which typically have a middle ear cavity for transferring sound vibrations from the eardrum, or tympanum, to the inner ear. Frogs and toads also use their keen hearingin communicating with one another. Using a true voice box, or larynx, and a large, exp...

Anfibio - ciencias de la naturaleza.
las ranas, que tienen una cavidad media que transmite las vibraciones desde la membrana timpánica al oído interno. Las ranas y los sapos también utilizan su sentido deloído para comunicarse unas con otras. Además, tanto las ranas macho como las hembra, utilizan las cuerdas vocales presentes en la laringe para producir sonidos, cuyaprincipal función es atraer a la pareja para reproducirse; también realizan sonidos en las disputas territoriales. Las salamandras, las cecilias y algunas ranas carece...

Mamífero - ciencias de la naturaleza.
diversas funciones: protege ante daños de tipo mecánico, evita la invasión de gérmenes y regula la pérdida de calor y humedad del cuerpo. En muchos mamíferos, el colorde la piel o del pelo se confunde con el entorno donde habita el animal, de manera que le ofrece camuflaje y protección frente a los depredadores. Otras veces existe ungran contraste, lo cual favorece la comunicación visual y proporciona información sobre la identidad de la especie, el género, la edad o la posición jerárquica o soc...

On trouve des parallèles chez Varron (Satires ménippées, 10 Bücheler) et Tertullien (Ad nationes, 2, 9), et, en grec, chez L...

Shark - biology.
Sharks have two-chambered hearts that are relatively small compared to the rest of their bodies. Blood flows from the heart to the gills, where it collects oxygen fromwater and then distributes it to the other organs and tissues. The small heart produces weak blood pressure, and many sharks must swim continuously to create themuscular contractions needed to circulate blood throughout their bodies. Most sharks are cold-blooded—that is, they do not generate heat by digesting food. Instead, the bod...
