[ 1 ] ) is a common, autosomal - dominant , genetic condition of the skin's hair follicles characterized by the appearance of possibly itchy , small, gooseflesh -like bumps, with varying degrees of reddening or inflammation.

A key principle in the dissection of human cadavers (sometimes called androtomy) is the prevention of human disease to the dissector.Prevention of transmission includes the wearing of protective gear, ensuring the environment is clean, dissection technique [2] and pre-dissection tests to specimens for the presence of HIV and hepatitis viruses.

A prosection is the dissection of a cadaver (human or animal) or part of a cadaver by an experienced anatomist in order to demonstrate for students anatomic structure. [1] In a dissection, students learn by doing; in a prosection, students learn by either observing a dissection being performed by an experienced anatomist or examining a specimen that has already been dissected by an experienced ...
A ballotine (from French balle, 'package') is traditionally a de-boned thigh and/or leg part of the chicken, duck or other poultry stuffed with forcemeat and other ingredients.

Galliformes / ˌ ɡ æ l ɪ ˈ f ɔːr m iː z / is an order of heavy-bodied ground-feeding birds that includes turkeys, chickens, quail, and other landfowl.Gallinaceous birds, as they are called, are important in their ecosystems as seed dispersers and predators, and are often reared by humans for their meat and eggs, or hunted as game birds.
The short legs of creeper chickens are the result of autosomal dominant transmission of a lethal allele, Cp. Affected birds are heterozygous (Cp/+) for the gene; homozygotes (Cp/Cp) die at the embryo stage. [11]: 2 [12] The Cp trait is linked closely to the gene for the rose comb, MNR2. [11]: 2
A number of birds have spurs on their feet or legs, usually formed from the lower portion of the tarsometatarsus bone. Best known are the spurs on chicken, though most galliform birds bear spurs. The spurs are mostly found in males, and used in mating competition or territory defence. Some birds have spurs on the wings rather than the legs.
