Inicio. Atlas de Histología Vegetal y Animal. Bienvenid@s Éste es un sitio web dedicado a la biología celular y a la histología de plantas y animales. Las páginas web están pensadas para que sirvan de apoyo a estudiantes de enseñanzas medias y universitarios, así como a cualquier persona interesada en estos temas. El sitio web está organizado en secciones, y éstas están ordenadas de manera secuencial para facilitar la comprensión de los diferentes temas. Sin embargo, se puede consultar cada una de ellas libremente, sin seguir necesariamente el orden establecido en la página. Nuestro deseo es que sirva como herramienta docente y como lugar donde se pueda aprender a conocer a la célula eucariota y cómo se organiza para formar tejidos, y últimamente a los organismos.

Tiny slices Credit: Allen Institute for Brain Science Researchers recently created a type of Google Maps for the mouse brain. The project, called the Allen Mouse Common Coordinate Framework, began with 234,500 individual sections from 1,675 whole mouse brains. These were collected as part of the Allen Mouse Brain Connectivity Atlas. An average brain A computer program then averaged all 1,675 specimens into a single 3D image, which then became the archetypal average mouse brain for the project.
Not your average mouse Here, one view of this average mouse brain. Glowing brain cells Next, anatomists painstakingly tracked fluorescently labeled neurons to identify boundaries between brain regions. The team then created an antomical model that revealed the boundary regions in the mouse brain, shown here in different colors. Detailed brain regions Another view of the boundaries between brain regions in a mouse, as defined by data from the Allen Brain Atlas Mouse Connectivity project. Anatomical structure. Foraging.

The Tree of Life Web Project (ToL) is a collaborative effort of biologists and nature enthusiasts from around the world. On more than 10,000 World Wide Web pages, the project provides information about biodiversity, the characteristics of different groups of organisms, and their evolutionary history (phylogeny).
Each page contains information about a particular group, e.g., salamanders, segmented worms, phlox flowers, tyrannosaurs, euglenids, Heliconius butterflies, club fungi, or the vampire squid. ToL pages are linked one to another hierarchically, in the form of the evolutionary tree of life. Starting with the root of all Life on Earth and moving out along diverging branches to individual species, the structure of the ToL project thus illustrates the genetic connections between all living things. Opinion: Why Finding Water on Mars Matters. Today's NASA announcement challenges our other assumptions about the universe. By Jared Petty Most of my life I’ve taken the hostility of outer space for granted. Textbooks and teachers taught me about an acidic atmosphere on Venus, bone-crushing gravity on Jupiter, frigid darkness on Pluto, and the arid, dead stone of the Martian wastes.
I remember standing in the Smithsonian as a child staring at the lifeless landscapes photographed by the Viking missions, red rocky deserts stretching on to the edge of forever. That image cemented an idea which I accepted for a long time to be a matter of fact, that Mars was an inhospitable, empty rock spinning through space. Got feedback on our player? We want to hear it. The facts did not change, of course...water has long flowed on Mars whether we knew about it or not. The international scientific community has long embraced the possibility of interstellar life. Is there life on Mars? NASA Discovers Evidence for Liquid Water on Mars. For years, scientists have known that Mars has ice locked away within its rusty exterior. More elusive, though, is figuring out how much of that water is actually sloshing around in liquid form.
Now, NASA scientists have found compelling evidence that liquid water—life-giving, gloriously wet H 20—exists on Mars. We’re not talking gushing rivers or oceans here. These scientists have been investigating “recurring slope lineae,” patches of precipitated salt that appear to dribble down Mars’ steep slopes like tears rolling gently down a cheek. Ojha and his team have watched these lineae form every Martian summer, growing wider week after week until they slowly fade come winter—exactly the times and places where conditions are right for liquid water to exist on Mars.
Ojha notes that they haven’t actually observed water flowing on Mars. Still, the water left a distinctive chemical trace. The team doesn’t know where the water is coming from, or how much of it there is yet. Quetzalcoatlus. Genus of azhdarchid pterosaurs from the Late Cretaceous Quetzalcoatlus is a genus of azhdarchid pterosaur known from the Late Cretaceous Maastrichtian age of North America.
Its name comes from the Aztec feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl. The type species is Q. northropi, named by Douglas Lawson in 1975. The genus also includes the smaller species Q. lawsoni, which was known for many years as an unnamed species, before being named by Brian Andres and Wann Langston Jr. Discovery and species[edit] The first Quetzalcoatlus fossils were discovered in Texas from the Maastrichtian Javelina Formation at Big Bend National Park (dated to around 68 million years ago[2]) in 1971 by Douglas A.
At first, it was assumed that the smaller specimens were juvenile or subadult forms of the larger type. The holotype specimen of Q. northropi had not been properly described and diagnosed until 2021[1] and until then, the status of the genus Quetzalcoatlus was identified as problematic.
