Frogs Breathe

Keywords: Frogs,Breathe,Under Water,Cold-blooded,Amphibian,Lungs,Frogs Breathe,Frogs Under Water,Frog,Winter,Skins,Nostrils,Mammals,Reptiles,Body Muscles,

3. HOW DO FROGS BREATHE UNDER WATER?

Frogs are cold-blooded. That means they are as warm or as cold as the air or water surrounding them. In winter they hibernate under water, where their body temperature falls, their bodily functions are kept at a minimum and breathing is carried on entirely through the skin.

Under water, frogs breathe through their skins. A frog is an amphibian, That is to say it lives both on land and in water. It has lungs, but it has no ribs and therefore cannot expand its chest and suck air into its lungs as do reptiles, birds and mammals. On land air is drawn in and out of the frog's nostrils, which have valves in them, by pulsations of the floor of the mouth, The air is forced in and out of the lungs by contractions of the throat and body muscles. A frog's mouth is always kept tightly closed and the pulsations of the throat vary from 120-140 a minute.

Even on land the plays a greater part in breathing than the lungs. However, air can be absorbed only through a moist skin. If the skin becomes too dry, the frog will die. There fore the skin contains glands which secrete a clear mucus or slime whose function is to keep the skin moist and supple. The skin absorbs water as well as air, for frogs do not drink.

BIRDS MIGRATE

 Keywords: Birds,Migrate,Summer,Migration,Birds Migrate,Winter,Migratory Birds,When Birds Migrate,

At the end of summer millions of birds of many different varieties migrate from one place to another place.With unfailing regularity they leave the regions where they were born to fly to warmer climates for the winter. The following spring they return to their breeding grounds.

Each year these migratory birds travel as much as 20000 miles, finding their way back on time with extraordinary precision. Some travel as individuals.

Migration is triggered off by the length of daylight, which apparently affects the birds nervous systems. When the days get shorter the birds receive the signal to leave for their warmer winter grounds, and, when the daylight increases to a certain level, they receive another signal to return home.

In our daily life we see many things which are not useful for us and we don't look at them this is reality. but my friends I think anything in this universe which is living or non-living is useful for us because God created them.

One of the popular example is before our eyes that is Teasel Plants. yes yes yes Teasel Plants.

The Teasel belongs to the Scabious Family. Scabious Family has many kind of plants which is called Teasel.
Scabious Family have two names both are same.
Dipsacaceae or   Scabious

Scabious Family genus many plants. Genus drived from genera sound's like generating :D. Scabious Family genus many plants means (Scabious Family birth many plants). The Members of this genus called Teasel.

Following are the Genus of Scabious Family.
Dipsacus ferox - Spiny Teasel
Dipsacus fullonum - Wild Teasel, Common Teasel, Fuller's Teasel
Dipsacus japonica - Japanese Teasel,Chinese Teasel
    Dipsacus laciniatus - Cut-leaved Teasel
    Dipsacus pilosus - Small Teasel
    Dipsacus sativus - Fuller's Teasel(cultivated form)
    Dipsacus strigosus - Slim Teasel 
 This some pictures of Teasel Plants.





 This plant is God gifted for us the question is How?What?Why?
Teasel Plants Used For
Teasels are used in the making of woollen cloth. The common tasel grows wild in England and Wales and southern parts of scotland. It is also found in Europe, Asia and North Africa.

The teasel has large prickly flower heads which remain on the dead stems through out the winter. The actual flowers are tiny deep lilac florets and round the base of the flowerhead there is a ring of spines. The stem and leaves are prickly and the leaves are joined at the stem to collect rain-water.

There is also a garden teasel called fuller's teasel, which has little hooks at the end of the spines, or bracts, surrounding the base of the flowerhead. This is the teasel that is used in the making of woollen cloth. is it interesting? :D

The cloth is brushed up with the teasels so that the fibres of wool become separated from each other. This is known as "Teasing".
This is some pictures of woolen Cloth.

 Woolen Cloth is highly demanded in India,England,Europe etc.. so be rememmbered that your woolen cloth was made by the help of Teasel Plants :D.

Swallow Nest

 Keywords: swallow,nest,swallow nest,birds,natural history,amazing birds,

WHERE DOES A SWALLOW BUILD ITS NEST?


 A swallow builds its nest inside farm buildings and on ledges in old chimneys. The nest is mad of mud, straw and saliva, with feathers and wool to line the inside. It takes a pair of swallows up to several weeks to make the saucer0shaped nest in the rafters of a barn.


Swallows start arriving in Europe at the end of March, a little earlier than their close relatives, the house martins. They spend the winter in South Africa and usually return to the same district and even the same nest-where they settled before. The female lays four or five eggs, white with reddish-brown speckles. She sits on them for about 15 days before they hatch out. Both parents then feed the nestlings with insects which they catch while flying. Swallows usually lay two sets of eggs.

They leave for their winter quarters in September, gathering in large flocks and often perching on telephone wires, before setting off. The young birds of the first brood leave before their parents and, by an in born knowledge, know which way to go.

Dogs Smell Sense

Keywords: Dogs,Smell,Sense,Good Smell,Dogs Smell,Dogs Smell Sense,Why Dogs,Natural,

WHY DO DOGS HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF SMELL?

Dogs have a better sense of smell than we do because the physical structure of a dog is better adapted for scenting odours. In dogs this sense has remained keen, while in man it has become comparatively dull. Dogs use scent in feeding, detecting enemies, recognizing mates and offspring and in rivalry.

The chemical sense of smell is chemo reception and the sense organs chemo receptors. But there is little in the structure of the nose to provide clues about its mechanism, and relatively little is known about how smell works. There are no accessory structures in the nose and the receptors and nerve fibres leading to the brain are so fine that they are difficult to study. The chemo receptors of human beings, dogs and other mammals lie in a cleft in each nostril.

During quiet breathing the main flow of air by passes the cleft. But when a mammal sniffs, air is drawn into the clefts and over about half a square inch of yellowish tissue in which are embedded several million chemo receptors. They are long thin cells with hair like crowns making a web lying on the surface of the tissue which is bathed in mucus. These are connected to a part of the brain called the olfactory bulb, the size of which is a fair indication of the keenness of the sense of smell.

The olfactory bulb of a dog is much larger than that of a man. The moist nose of a dog also aids his sense of smell.

Smells are immensely important to dogs as we see from the way they refuse to by-pass a scent without investigating it and very often, adding to it. They mark their home range and investigate passers-by. Their keen sense has been used by man as many thousands of years.
