    One major difference is that mammals breathe in oxygen. Camelus dromedarius has a closed circulatory system. This means that all the blood is pumped throughout the body while enclosed in vessels. The blood never leaves the vessels, it just transferred from one vessel to another. The blood picks up the oxygen at the lungs, then goes to the heart and gets pumped around the body, it de-oxygenated blood returns to the heart and then gets pumped back to the lungs where the blood picks up more oxygen.…

    Mules vs. Elephants

    As George Washington retired from his presidential position in 1796, he left a grim reminder to the people of the newly independent United States of America: the independence of states, peace at home and abroad, safety, prosperity, and liberty are all dependent upon the unity between states. To promote the national strength, he urges the people to place their identity as Americans above those of their state, region, and interests. In fear of the impeding sectionalism, Washington included a fair warning to the people of the United States, the dangers of political parties to the government and the country as a whole. The idea of political parties, although warned thoroughly by our very first president, continuously solidified itself into the core of American government until it has become two standing pillars of modern politics: the Democratic Mules and its counterpart, the Republican Elephants. In 21st century politics, these two reigning parties, both having changed and altered their focus over time, have maintained a core value system, ideas beliefs, and key constituencies, which are made apparent throughout political campaigns; no better evidence than the 2012 political party platforms articulates the political position which each party represents.…

    The camel is an excellent example of how animals can physiologically adapt to their environment. Camels are generally found in African and Asian countries, where the climate is often hot and dry. In order to survive, the camel has adapted beautifully to its surrounding environment. The large hump(s) on located on the camel’s back, contrary to popular belief, is actually a large storage of fat. When on long journeys across the desert or when food is scarce, the camel can feed off the nutrients stored in the fat. Camels can go days without food or water, and safely lose up to 40% of its body weight. This is due in part to the camel’s plasma fluid being maintained (at the expense of tissue fluid) so that its circulation is not impaired. The camel’s body absorbs water very slowly from the stomach and intestines, allowing time for equilibration. Their erythrocytes can also swell to 240% of its normal size without bursting, lending to the animal’s ability to hold dubious amounts of water. In a further effort to aid the animal survive the arid climate, the kidneys have also evolved. To help reduce water loss, the kidneys can produce urine so concentrated it contains twice the salt content of sea water and thick as syrup. Camels can also use their excrement to hydrate if absolutely necessary – it has developed the ability to extract water from their fecal…
