Yes, dolphins do have a bladder, which is a hollow organ that stores urine. They need a bladder to help regulate their buoyancy and eliminate waste from their bodies.

In canines, the bone that the urethra passes through in the penis is called the os penis, or baculum. It is a bone found in the penis of many placental mammals, including dogs, that aids in copulation and maintaining an erection.

A homozygous trait is expressed when 2 of the same alleles make up the genotype. For example, if two alleles (A and a) were present, the homozygous trait would be either AA or aa. In general, a fully recessive trait is only expressed when it's homozygous.

This will depend upon what exactly you mean by "eye infection". Generally owners consider this to be any inflammatory process occurring in or around the orbit.

Inflammation of the conjunctiva (the pink membrane around the inside of the orbit) is one of the more common "eye infections" people will describe. With conjunctivitis, the perimeter of the orbit becomes red and swollen, often partially or completely closing the eyelids. An exudate often accompanies this, resulting in crusty material around the orbit and sometimes sealing the eyelids closed.

True eye infections, where the eye itself is experiencing an inflammatory event, will look different. The sclera (white part of the eye) often becomes injected, meaning the blood vessels enlarge and are more prominent, looking something like a red roap map over the white of the eye. The pupil may be dilated or constricted, depending upon the exact location of the infection, and the cornea is often cloudy or red.

No, they do not! In fact the gallbladder is noticeably absent in the Order Cetacea as a whole. However the cystic ducts are enlarged which allows dolphins, porpoises and whales to store sufficient bile within it. So dolphins still use bile to emulsify fats, but they do not have a gallbladder.

Yes, animals can have strokes, although they are less common compared to humans. Strokes in animals are typically caused by blood clots, bleeding, or other issues that disrupt blood flow to the brain, leading to neurological symptoms. Treatment options for animals experiencing a stroke may include medications and supportive care.

Endothermic because you have to put heat into the potato to bake it.

Some animal diseases caused by fungi include ringworm, Aspergillosis, and histoplasmosis. These fungal infections can affect a variety of animals, including domestic pets, livestock, and wildlife. Symptoms can range from skin lesions to respiratory issues, depending on the specific fungus and the animal species affected.

The two largest body cavities are the thoracic and abdominal cavities.

The largest Murray Cod on record was over 1.8 meters, and cod are regularly caught over the 1 meter mark.

Larger Murray Cod are found in South Australia more so than in the Murray along the NSW/Victorian border, but this is not to say regular catches in the vicinity of 1.5 meters are not made along the entire length as well as in other river systems in the surrounding areas.

I'm not sure if there is a different purpose in animals other than humans, but recent research may indicate that the appendix is a safehouse for the "good" bacteria that inhabit the intestines.

Yes, a horse's hooves are made primarily of keratin, which is a tough protein that also makes up human hair and nails. Keratin provides strength and protection to the hooves, allowing horses to bear weight and move comfortably. Proper hoof care, including regular trimming and maintenance, is essential for a horse's overall health and well-being.

An animal with a large appendix may likely have a diet high in hard-to-digest foods like plants or cellulose. The appendix helps in the digestion of these foods by hosting beneficial bacteria that aid in breaking them down.

That depends on the medication. Sounds like you've been given the wrong oral syringe/dropper with this prescription; call your Vet.

This all depends on the breed. European breeds have a comfort zone between 20 degrees Celsius and -20 degrees Celsius. Brahmans, however, have a comfort zone between 30 degrees Celsius and -10 degree Celsius. Brahman-European crossbreds are in between.

To prevent your mare from going into heat, you can discuss with your veterinarian the option of using hormone therapies such as altrenogest (Regumate) or a hormone implant. These methods can help suppress estrus behavior. It is important to consult your vet to determine the most suitable course of action for your mare.

Parasites are very dangerous. They can cause sicknesses. A parasite is a host which is a living organism that lives and eats off of another organism to live. Tapeworms are considered parasites because they feed off of all the food that enters your intestines. Some parasites, like tapeworms, can, accidentally, cause death.

The minimal lethal dose refers to the smallest amount of a substance that can lead to death in an individual. It is used in toxicology to determine the potential lethality of a particular substance and assess the potential risk associated with exposure.

Fiber helps promote healthy digestion by adding bulk to the diet and aiding in the movement of food through the digestive tract. While animals may not be able to digest fiber, it plays a crucial role in maintaining gut health, preventing constipation, and providing a sense of fullness.

the first part of the word ,neum ,is from the old greek for the breath or the spirit ,which spiritual seekers try to re-harmonise with its other halve in the phenomenological world , which is determined by your ever-changing personal view's in the material world. the neumonological world is the spirit world .,,which is so near ,that it is the breath of life , if you doubt this try focusing on the breath., study its qualities ,,ask yourself ,what is this ?.when you are distracted by a thought or feeling simply refocus on the qualities of the breath ,you will soon come to know the nuemonological world. from a simple biological veiw point it is knowlege of the resparitory system.

Doves and pigeons are closely related and share many anatomical similarities. However, one key difference is that doves generally have a slightly smaller body size and more slender build compared to pigeons. Additionally, some dove species may have longer tails or more pointed wings than pigeons.

Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane better know at DDT was a pesticide used extensively in America until it was banned 1972. DDT weakens bird shells and causes them to break when the parent tries to incubate them. DDT almost led to the extinction of many species of birds until Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring brought the plight of birds to worldwide attention. Unfortunately DDT is still exported to many third world countries.

In the United States, you must complete at least three years of undergraduate college (this usually takes four years) and four years of vet school to be a veterinarian. To become board certified in veterinary microbiology, you would need to complete a one year internship (probably) and a three to five year residency. Therefore, total college time would be between 10 and 14 years.

A 20% solution would mean 20 g of the substance in 100 ml of solution. To convert this to mg per ml, you would have 20,000 mg of the substance in 100 ml of solution. Therefore, in a 20% solution, there would be 200 mg per ml.
