Unifying IConcepts Iof Ianimal Istructure Iand Ifunction I(20)
An Ianimals Iform Iis Inot Ithe Iperfect Idesign:
Girrafes ILarynegeal Inerve:
Travels Ifrom Ibrain, Ito Ineck, IU-turn Iaround Imajor Ia Imajor Iblood Ivessel Iin Ithe Ichest
I(aorta), Iback Iup Ithroat, Iwhere IIt Iconnects Ito Iand Istimulates Imuscles Iof Ithe Ithroat.
This Iaffects Ithe Igiraffe’s Ivocal Icords, Ibreathing, Iand Iswallowing.
The Igiraffes Ithroat Iis Ia Ifoot Iaway Ifrom Iits Ibrain.
Why Idoes Ithe Ilaryngeal Inerve Imake Isuch Ia Ilong Ijourney?
Evolution Iand Inatural Iselection: Imechanisms Iarise Ifrom Iprevious Istructures.
Tetrapod’s: Ivertebrates Iwith Ifour Ilimbs I(including Ihumans)
The Iearly Iembryos Iof Ifish Iand Itetrapod’s Ishow Ishared Iancestry:
The Ilaryngeal Inerve Iwill Inerve Iconnects Ito Ithe Ibrain Iand Ito Ia Irudimentary Istructure Ithat Iin Ifish
Ibecomes Igills Iand Iin Itetrapods Ibecomes Ithe Ilarynx.
?
Explain Iwhy Ithe Iprocess Iof Inatural Iselection Iin Itetrapods Iresulted Iin Ia Ilong, Ilooped
Ilaryngeal Inerve Iinstead Iof Ia Ishort Inerve Ifollowing Ia Imore Idirect Iroute?
A Imore Idirect I(shorter) Iconnection Ifrom Ithe Ibrain Ito Ithe Ineck Iwould Irequire Isevering Iand
Irejoining Ithis Inerve, Iwhich Iwould Inot Ibe Icompatible Iwith Isurvival.
Anatomy: Ithe Istudy Iof Ithe Iform Iof Ian Iorganism’s Istructures

Iwith Isponges I– Ithey I“almost” Ihave Itissues, Ibut Ithey Iare Inot I“true Itissues” Ibecause Ithey Iare Inot
Iheld Itogether I– Ii.e. Ithey Ican Idissociate Iand Ifunction Iindependently.
As Ian I“organ”, Iin Iaddition Ito Ibeing Icomprised Iof Icardiac Imuscle Itissue, Iit Iis Ialso Icomprised Iof
Iconnective Itissue I& Iadipose Itissue Ion Ithe Ioutside, Ispecial Iepithelial Itissue Ion Ithe Iinside.
Vital IFunctions Iof Ithe ICirculatory ISystem IInclude I. I. I.

The Iorganism Iforms Ithe Ifinal Ilevel Iof Ithis Ihierarchy. IAn Iorganism Icontains Inumber Ior Iorgan
Isystems, Ieach Ispecialized Ifor Icertain Itasks.
Four Itypes Iof Iepithelial Icells:
Epithelial Icells:
◆ Sheets Iof Iclosely Ipacked Icells Ithat Icover Ithe Ibody Isurface Iand Iline Iinternal Iorgans Iand
Icavities
PS: Iif Iyou Iknow Isomeone Iwith Icancer Iit Iis Ivery Ilikely Ithey Ihave Irisen Ifrom Iepithelial Icells
◆ The Itightly Iknit Icells Iform Ia Iprotective Ibarrier

Ifibrous Iproteins Iand Isticky Ipolysaccharides
Stratified Isquamous Iepithelial Icells:

I(lining Iof Ithe Iesophagus)
PS: I Replacement I– Ii.e. Ithe Iproduction Iof Inew Icells Ivia Idivision Iof Istem Icells Ithat Ireplace
Ithose Iat Ithe Isurface Ithat Iare Icontinuously Ibeing Ished Ior Ilost; Idandruff I is Ia Igood Iexample Iof
Iexcessive Iloss Iof Iepithelial Icells Ifrom Ithe Iscalp.
Stem Icells Iare Ilocated Iadjacent Ito Ithe Ibasement Imembrane.
Simple Isquamous Iepithelial Icells:
Single Ilayer Iof Icells
(lining Iof Ithe Iair Isacs Iof Ithe Ilungs)
PS: I Here, I“protection” Iis Itaken Ito Ibe Imainly Istructural I(or Ibarrier) Iprotection I– Ii.e.
Iselectively Ikeeping Isome Isubstances Iseparated, Iwhile Iallowing Iother Isubstances Ito Ipass.
Simple Icuboidal Iepithelium:
(forming Ia Itube Iin Ithe Ikidney)

Iintestines.
Simple Icolumnar Iepithelium:
I(lining Iof Ithe Iintestines)
, Connective Itissue:
Consists Iof Ia Isparse Ipopulation Iof Icells Iscattered Ithroughout Ia Imatrix, Iwhich Iusually Iconsists IofIa
Iweb Iof Ifibers Iembedded Iin Ia Iliquid, Ijelly, Ior Isolid.
Six Imajor Iconnective Itissues:
Loose Iconnective Itissues:
Serve Imainly Ito Ibind Ithe Iepithelia Ito Iunderlying Itissues Iand Ihold Iorgans Iin Iplace. I(under ItheIskin)
Its Imatrix Iis Ia Iloose Iweave Ifibers Iin Ia Iwatery Ifluid.
IMany Iof Ithe Ifibers Iconsist Iof Icollagen, Istrong
Iropelike Iprotein
(most Iabundant Iconnective Itissue)
Fibrous Iconnective Itissue:
This Itissue Iforms Itendons, Iwhich Iattach Imuscles Ito
Ibone, Iand Iligaments, Iwhich Iconnects Ibones Iat
Ijoints

Iarrangement Ithat Imaximizes Iits Istrength.
Adipose Itissue:
This Itissue Ipads Iand Iinsulates Ithe Ibody Iand Istores
Ienergy

swells Iwhen Ifat Iis Istored Iand Ishrinks Iwhen Ifat Iis Iused Ias Ifuel
Cartilage:
It Isupports Ithe Iears Iand Inose Iand Iforms Ithe Icushioning Idisks Ibetween Ithe Ivertebrae.
Forms Ia Istrong Ibut Iflexible Iskeletal Imaterial, Iand Iits Imatrix Iconsists Iof Icollagen Ifibers IembeddedIin
Ia Irubbery Imaterial
Commonly Isurrounds Ithe Iends Iof Ibones, Iproviding Ishock-absorbing Isurface
Bone:
Bone Imay Inot Iseem Ialive, Ibut Iit Iconsists Iof I“living Icells, Ithat Igrows Ias Iyou Igrow”
Calcium, Imagnesium, Iand Iphosphate. IThe Icombination Iof Ifibers Iand Iminerals Imakes IbonesIstrong
Iwithout Ibeing Ibrittle.
Blood:
Transports Isubstances Ithroughout Ithe Ibody Iand Ifunctions Idifferently Ifrom Iother Iconnective
Itissues.
Extensive Iextracellular Imatrix Iis Ia Iliquid Icalled Iplasma, Iwhich Iconsists Iof Iwater, Isalts, IandIdissolved
Iproteins.
, Suspended Iin Ithe Iplasma Iare Ired Iblood Icells, Iwhich Icarry Ioxygen, Iand Ithat Ifunctions Iin Idefense
Iagainst Iinfections, Iand Iplatelets, Iwhich Iaid Iblood Iclotting.
Why Idoes Iblood Iqualify Ias Ia Itype Iof Iconnective Itissue?
Because Iit Iconsists Iof Ia Ipopulation Iof Icells Isurrounded Iby Ia Inon-cellular Imatrix, Iwhich Iin IthisIcase
Iis Ia Ifluid Icalled Iplasma.
Muscle Itissue:
The IMOST Iabundant Itissue Iin Inearly Iall Ianimals. IIt Iconsists Iof Ilong Icells Icalled Imuscle Ifibers,Ieach
Icontaining Imany Imolecules Iof Icontractile Iproteins.
