The Galápagos penguins' flipper-like wings and streamlined bodies enhance their easy movements in water. [14] Their white and black colors also aid in thermal regulation and camouflaging. [ 14 ] All these features promote and ensure survival in the harsh conditions present in their coastal habitat, hence the symbiotic relationship between the ...
Aquatic and semiaquatic tetrapods usually have limb features (such as webbings) adapted to better provide propulsion in water, while marine mammals and sea turtles have convergently evolved flattened, paddle-like limbs known as flippers. In human anatomy, the upper and lower limbs are commonly known as the arms and legs respectively, although ...
The Visible Human Project is an effort to create a detailed data set of cross-sectional photographs of the human body, in order to facilitate anatomy visualization applications. It is used as a tool for the progression of medical findings, in which these findings link anatomy to its audiences. [1]
