Muscles contract to produce movement at joints – where two or more bones meet. As in anatomical terms of location, the terms used assume that the body starts in the anatomical position. Most movements have an opposite – they have been paired up for ease of understanding. By Connexions ( [CC-BY-3.0], via Wikimedia Commons Fig 1.0 – Flexion and extension. Flexion and Extension Flexion and extension are movements that occur in the sagittal plane. Flexion refers to a movement that decreases the angle between two body parts. Abduction and Adduction Abduction and adduction are two terms that are used to describe movements towards or away from the midline of the body. Abduction is a movement away from the midlineAdduction is a movement towards the midline In fingers and toes, the midline used is not the midline of the body, but of the hand and foot respectively.

Learning about the Periodic Table is a big part of learning chemistry. It is fun if you get it. Otherwise it can be a boring and tedious experience, and it can kill the interest in chemistry completely. Today we share learning tools for periodic tables. These are interactive periodic tables with names and charges and other information that make it easy to learn. Some also letting kids to create virtual chemical reactions to make the learning hands-on without potential chemical explosion danger. This is part of our Best Learning Tools for Kids on iPad series. For the whole list of the series, please visit Free Essential Learning Tools for Kids on iPad and Other Tablets. First we will list the tools available on iPad, then we will list apps available on computers, so if you don’t have iPad or tablets, you can still find some cool interactive period tables for your kids.

The ideal diet for an athlete is not very different from the diet recommended for any healthy person. However, the amount of each food group you need will depend on: The type of sportThe amount of training you doThe amount of time you spend doing the activity or exercise To help you perform better, avoid exercising on an empty stomach.
Everyone is different, so you will need to learn: How long before exercising is best for you to eatHow much food is the right amount for you Carbohydrates are needed to provide energy during exercise. Complex carbohydrates are found in foods such as pasta, bagels, whole grain breads, and rice. You need to eat carbohydrates before you exercise if you will be exercising for more than 1 hour. You also need carbohydrates during exercise.

Discovery of Oldest DNA Scrambles Human Origins Picture. New tests on human bones hidden in a Spanish cave for some 400,000 years set a new record for the oldest human DNA sequence ever decoded—and may scramble the scientific picture of our early relatives. Analysis of the bones challenges conventional thinking about the geographical spread of our ancient cousins, the early human species called Neanderthals and Denisovans.
Until now, these sister families of early humans were thought to have resided in prehistoric Europe and Siberia, respectively. (See also: "The New Age of Exploration. ") But paleontologists write in a new study that the bones of what they thought were European Neanderthals appear genetically closer to the Siberian Denisovans, as shown by maternally inherited "mitochondrial" DNA found in a fossil thighbone uncovered at Spain's Sima de los Huesos cave. Neanderthals and Denisovans arose hundreds of thousands of years before modern-looking humans spread worldwide from Africa more than 60,000 years ago. Mixed Up or Mixing It Up?

November 16, 2004 Interpretation of Jesus Christ's reported ability to walk on water is left to biblical scholars. But scientists have figured out how so-called Jesus lizards are able to scurry across the surfaces of ponds and streams.
The findings improve understanding of the physics involved in walking in general and may have practical use in the development of walking robots. The Jesus lizards, or basilisk lisards, accomplish the seemingly miraculous act of moving on top of water by generating forces with their feet that keep their bodies both above the surface and upright, according to Shi-Tong Tonia Hsieh. Hsieh is a graduate student in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University in Massachusetts. Hsieh and her advisor George Lauder detail the process in today's issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Evolution The Evolution of humans documentary 2014. Human Origins Project, Human Evolution Information, Facts -- National Geographic. About the Project The Human Origins Project, a joint initiative of the National Geographic Society and the Turkana Basin Institute, will utilize cutting-edge technology to become the largest and most informative multilingual resource available on the subject of human evolution.
Over the past 35 years, the Koobi Fora region in northern Kenya’s Turkana Basin has yielded a wealth of fossil material that has revealed a great deal of information about human history and origins. Some 16,000 fossils, including 350 hominid specimens, have been collected from the basin. The findings help scientists understand hominid behavior like tool use, piece together basic hominid lineages, and understand hominid diversity. Based on past successes in the Turkana Basin, researchers are hopeful that the next five to ten years of fieldwork will yield important new finds.
Paleontologists are frequently discovering new sites, and greater numbers of students and professionals are now devoted to this project.

About the Repository - The Linnean Collections. A distinguished scientist and doctor, Carl Linnaeus developed the binomial naming system of plants and animals that we are all familiar with today and which provides the fundamental framework for knowledge of the biota of the Earth, supporting effective conservation measures and the sustainable use of biodiversity. This digital archive of unique material relating to the society's priceless collections of specimens, manuscripts and letters will enable full global access for investigation allowing researchers to rapidly check details of the specimens on-line, including morphological details and written data.
The information is of critical importance to correct naming and identification of specimens. The type specimens represent the original concept of new species, exemplified by the specimens and illustrations used when assigning binomial scientific names, the foundation stones of taxonomy. The Linnean Collections web repository was set up as part of the Linnaean Tercentenary celebrations. Ancient Science: 40 Time-Traveling, World-Exploring, History-Making ... - Jim Wiese.

Photo by: Russi & Morelli All living organisms are composed of cells, and all cells arise from other cells. These simple and powerful statements form the basis of the cell theory, first formulated by a group of European biologists in the mid-1800s.
So fundamental are these ideas to biology that it is easy to forget they were not always thought to be true. Robert Hooke's microscope. Hooke first described cells in 1665. Early Observations The invention of the microscope allowed the first view of cells. Marcello Malpighi (1628–1694), and Hooke's colleague, Nehemiah Grew (1641–1712), made detailed studies of plant cells and established the presence of cellular structures throughout the plant body. At the time, virtually all biologists were convinced that organisms were composed of some type of fundamental unit, and it was these "atomistic" preconceptions that drove them to look for such units.
