Cervical vertebra

Costal cartilage

The axial skeleton comprises the skull, vertebral column, rib cage, and sternum. The skull forms a protective shell for the brain and sensory organs, with the lower part of the skull giving form to the face. The base of the skull joins with the first vertebra of the spine, the atlas; the articulation of the two bones nodding. Openings in the skull accommodate the eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. The bones of the skull have unique joints, called sutures, which interlock and are then firmly held together with fibrous connective tissue. The vertebral column (spine) is a tower of bones, called vertebrae, each separated by a cushioning pad of fibrocartilage called the intervertebral disk. While individually each vertebra has extremely limited movement, collectively the vertebrae create a highly mobile unit. When required, the spine becomes a rigid unit, held firm by the back muscles, so that activities such as lifting can be performed. The ribs of the thoracic cage join with the vertebrae at the back and encircle the heart and lungs. The first seven ribs, the true ribs, join at the front to the sternum. The next three ribs, the false ribs, join to one another and then attach to the last true rib. The remaining two ribs, the floating ribs, do not extend to the front.

The appendicular skeleton includes the limb bones of the arms and legs, and the girdles that connect them to the axial skeleton, the shoulder girdle and the pelvic girdle. The bones of the arm (humerus, radius, and ulna) and the leg (femur, tibia, and fibula) are all long bones. With a similar structure, the bones of the hands and feet comprise 14 bones in the fingers and toes; the wrist has 8 bones, the ankle has 7; and there are 5 bones in both the palm of the hand and the sole of the foot. Due to the load bearing require ments placed on the lower limbs, the pelvic girdle is joined to the axial skeleton at the sacroiliac joint, a relatively rigid joint, whereas the connection of the shoulder girdle is far less restricting, being mostly connected to the rib cage by muscle, its only stabilizing connection provided by the collar bone.

The Trachea, Bronchi, and Lungs The windpipe (trachea) is a 31/2–5 inch (9–12 centimeter) long tube comprising C-shaped cartilages interleaved with fibrous tissue. The trachealis muscle bridges the two ends of the cartilage to create a complete tube. The trachea branches into the two main bronchi, the left and right bronchi, leading to the left and right lungs. The lungs are lobed, with the left lung having an upper and lower lobe, and the right lung having three lobes—the upper, middle and lower lobes. The bronchi enter the lungs and divide into the lobar bronchi, then subdivide into smaller and smaller bronchioles which terminate at the air sacs (alveoli). Bunched around the bronchioles, the thinwalled alveoli are separated from one another by interalveolar septa. This network of bronchi and bronchioles is known as the bronchial tree. Gas exchange in the lungs takes place when oxygen from the inspired air and carbon dioxide found in blood from the pulmonary artery are exchanged. The gases move across the alveolar membrane—oxygen enters the blood via the capillary network of the alveoli, and carbon dioxide enters the alveoli, and is expelled during expiration.

The mouth is the opening between the maxillae and the lower jaw, and is the entrance to the digestive tract. It also connects to the respiratory tract, and is responsible for making sounds, especially speech. It consists of an outer vestibule and an inner true oral cavity. The oral cavity leads to the oropharynx, part of the throat. The lips form the muscular opening of the mouth and contribute to the formation of words during speech and also help hold food in the mouth. They also help form facial expressions, such as smiling. The sides of the mouth are formed by the muscle tissue of the cheeks. This tissue is covered by skin on the outer surface and by mucous membrane inside the mouth. The cheeks also play an important role in speech and help hold food as it is chewed and then swallowed. The roof of the mouth comprises the hard palate at the front and the soft palate at the back. Hanging at the back of the soft palate is the droplet-shaped uvula. The floor of the oral cavity is made up of the tongue and the tissue between the tongue and the teeth.

The lungs The major organ of the respiratory system, the lungs have a massive surface area to facilitate gas exchange, in order to fulfil the body’s requirement for life-sustaining oxygen.

Teeth

Teeth—structure

The secondary or permanent teeth total 32, with 16 each in the upper and lower jaws.

The sensitive core of the tooth contains nerves and blood vessels, overlaid with dentine. These components are protected above the gums by a tough shell of enamel, and below the gums by a hard bone-like substance called cementum.

Although the teeth appear to be bony in structure, they are, in fact, made up of several layers, with the visible outer layer, or crown of the tooth, being enamel, the hardest substance in the body. Beneath the enamel is dentine, the main component of the teeth, with a softer composition than enamel. The dentine and central pulp are filled with nerves and blood vessels, and below the gum line the dentine is protected by a surrounding layer of tough cementum. Around the cementum is the periodontal ligament, which contains the fibers that anchor the tooth in place. Two sets of teeth are produced during our lifetime; the first set are the 20 deciduous or primary teeth; these

first teeth begin to be replaced from about seven years of age by the secondary or permanent teeth. Different types of teeth make up our full set of 32 secondary teeth, including incisors, canines, molars, and premolars. The teeth bite, tear, grind, and chew food, processing it to a manageable consistency and size for passage to the digestive tract. Attached around the neck of the teeth are the gums (gingivae). They extend from inside the lips, around and between the teeth, to the floor of the mouth and the palate. The soft tissue of the gums is kept moist by the salivary glands.

Description: A sagittal view of the skull reveals the interrelationship of the bones of both the neurocranium and the facial cranium. The bones of the skull enclose several spaces. The largest cavity accommodates the brain; this is usually described as three contiguous regions—the anterior, middle, and posterior cranial fossae. The nasal cavities are flattened chambers, into which protrude curved plates called conchae or turbinates, which increase the surface area of the nasal cavities. The nasal cavities are connected to paranasal sinuses in the frontal, ethmoid, maxillary, and sphenoid bones. The maxillary sinuses, which lie to the sides of the nose, are the largest. Each side of the mandible has a head that fits into a socket in the temporal bone of the skull, forming the temporomandibular joint. The four major bones of the neurocranium—the occipital, parietal, temporal, and frontal bones—join at sutures, which are bound together by fibrous connective tissue.

Description: The hand consists of the palm, the dorsum, and the thumb and fingers. Between the carpal bones of the wrist and the bones of the fingers (phalanges) are five metacarpal bones. The metacarpal bones join the phalanges at the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints, which are condylar in type, allowing flexion, extension, adduction, and abduction. The phalanges in each finger meet at interphalangeal joints. Gliding joints occur between adjoining carpal bones of the wrist, and more hinge joints are formed where the carpal bones meet with the second to fifth metacarpal bones of the hand. At the thumb, a particularly mobile saddle joint is formed between the scaphoid bone of the wrist and the first metacarpal, allowing a wide range of movements.

Terrestrial Orchids

As opportunists, orchids have adapted to a broad variety of habitats with a vast array of growth habits. Epiphytic, hemiepiphytic, lithophytic, saprophytic, terrestrial, subterranean… the list goes on. And growth habits have evolved due to particular habitat issues, such as drought, high or low light levels, nutrient paucity, high or low acidity, and so on. Despite the great differences in the many ecological niches occupied by orchids, their basic growth habits can be classified in one of two ways: sympodial (growing laterally and producing leafy growths along a rhizome; like an iris or bamboo) or monopodial (growing upward from a single, occasionally branched, stem producing flower stems and leaves along that stem). From these two basic growth patterns have radiated the range of plant appearances in the family as a whole. Orchid plants can range from extraordinarily tiny— under ½ in (12 mm) tall in some bulbophyllums and pleurothallids—to huge—over 20 ft (6 m) in extreme cases such as dendrobiums, grammatophyllums, sobralias, or vining types like the vanillas. Orchids’ ability to quickly and effectively adapt to a changing environment is intimately tied to the wide range of plant forms they exhibit. There really is no common thread by which orchid plants may be distinguished while not in flower. However, experienced orchidists are able to identify an out-of-flower plant as an orchid by a certain aspect of the plant.

The temperate zones are home to many of the truly terrestrial orchids (those that grow in the soil), because the protected, often tuberous, roots allow for a deciduous habit and protection from weather extremes. Whether exposed to heat, cold, or drought, they are able to survive otherwise untenable climatic situations by dormancy. Often, the terrestrial orchids’ physiology is adapted in such a way that without an enforced dormant season, the plant simply does not survive. This feature has restricted the cultivation of temperate-zone terrestrials to the hands of experts. There are two grounddwelling growth habits that will essentially never be seen in cultivation: subterranean and saprophytic. Subterranean orchids grow underground with only emergent flowerheads (the Australian orchid, Rhizanthella gardneri, being the best known). Saprophytic orchids (Corallorrhiza is one) grow by the utilization of the by-products of plant decay, not by their own photosynthetic products. These are most often seen growing in rich forest humus, where their bizarre flower stems poke through the humus layer to attract pollinators. As one travels toward the Equator, the climate becomes more favorable for the year-round growth of herbaceous perennials (like orchids). Orchids that come from areas where pronounced dry seasons exist tend to have a deciduous habit, though often coupled with a water-storage capacity, whether swollen stems (pseudobulbs), heavy leaves, or fleshy roots. Niches where the substrate is evenly moist as a result of heavy shade, high compost content, even precipitation throughout the year, will have orchids with softer foliage and less obvious, if any, water-storage organs. Ground-dwelling plants are often hemi-epiphytes, the term given to plants that don’t grow “in” the soil, but rather in the layer of humus that collects on the forest floor.

▶ A: Ephiphytic orchids grow up trees—though they are not parasitic— their roots clinging to branches and reaching out to absorb moisture and nutrients.

▶ B: Lithophytic orchids grow on rocks, their roots clinging on to fissures and holes. ▶ C: Terrestrial orchids grow with their roots in the substrate. The roots of some, like the Paphiopedilum, have a dense covering of fine hairs.

Cattleya

KAT-lee-uh | Abbrev. C.

Named after British horticulturist William Cattley, this tropical American genus is one of the most popular groups in cultivation, with around 65 species, and thousands of hybrids. This entire alliance is going through major name changes so that many of the Brazilian laelias are now being reclassified as cattleyas. In the 1800s species of this alliance were greatly sought out by plant collectors and demanded high prices in auctions throughout Europe. Plants available today are virtually all grown from seed or cloned, and are not collected from the wild. Cloned and seed-grown plants are not only better from a conservation point of view, but are often more vigorous and easy to grow. Until the recent surge in the marketing and popularity of phalaenopsis, the cattleya was the archetypical orchid. These epiphytic, sympodial rock and tree dwellers have showy, colorful, long-lasting and frequently highly fragrant flowers produced on stout plants with club-shaped or cane-like cylindrical pseudobulbs arising from a creeping rhizome. They range in height from diminutive species of a few inches (4 cm) to giants up to about three feet (1 m)

tall. They are topped with one (unifoliate) or two (bi-foliate) dull green leaves. This genus and it hybrids have been referred as the “Queen of Orchids” because of their regal bearing and spectacular flowers that sport a range of dazzling colors and combinations. Many of the larger flower types have been important as a cut flower for the florist trade, while those hybrids with a smaller, more compact plant habit have become more popular as pot plants. CULTIVATION: Cattleyas enjoy high light and intermediate to warm temperatures, with some preferring cooler conditions. Most species require warmth in the winter, but the Brazilian and Mexican autumn-flowering types will stand cooler temperatures for short periods of time if kept dry. They must have unimpeded drainage and a course, well drained potting mix. Healthy plants will develop an extensive system of thick, white roots which are long-lived and branch freely. Propagate by division of no less than four pseudobulbs per division. It is best to only repot or divide these plants in the spring when new roots appear.

Orchids’ need to inhabit marginal areas has led to a further adaptation in growth habit: lithophytic orchids literally “grow on rocks.” While many laelias, cyrtopodiums, and other orchid genera have evolved this unique habit, it is clear that these plants were at first epiphytes, and have secondarily adapted to growing on—not in—the ground. The lithophytic habit offers its own set of challenges, not the least of which is the often-low level of organic nutrients available in rocky areas. Moisture is also limited, though this type of orchid has by necessity become expert both in efficiently obtaining and storing precious water resources. The roots of lithophytes will travel and accumulate along the rock fissures, sometimes forming an almost solid mass of water-retentive tissue. When occasional precipitation occurs, the water can be efficiently gathered and stored for later use. Another difficulty faced by lithophytes can be the blazing sun. This is dealt with by producing hard, upright foliage that minimizes exposure to the burning rays, as well as heavy red pigmentation to shield the more delicate green chlorophyll.

Epiphytic Orchids

Whether or not this is entirely true is contested these days. But, suffice to say that after the first plants of this genus, Cattleya labiata, were grown out and flowered in 1818 by Mr. Cattley, they created quite a sensation among the horticultural elite in England. This in turn created a seemingly insatiable demand that resulted in extensive and expensive explorations to Brazil to search out more plants of the species and other species in this genus.

Strong, easily grown, popular species from Guatemala and Belize, found on rocky cliffs, in bright humid conditions. Forms large clusters of up to 20 rose-purple blooms, each 3 in (8 cm) wide, in autumn.

Lithophytic Orchids

The hemi-epiphytes mark the transition of orchids from terrestrial to a truly epiphytic habit. Note that epiphytic orchids are not parasitic; they derive no nutrients from the host plant’s metabolism, only support and a substrate to grow on. As the forests become denser, with a more complete canopy of foliage that is often in several layers, the epiphytic habit offers distinct advantages. It gets the orchid up into the canopy where light is more plentiful, useful for plants that prefer strong, often dappled, light. Secondly, it allows the Cattleya 97 fleshy velamen-covered orchid roots to ramble freely and to gather nutrients from bird droppings, leaf detritus, and other organic products, nutrients that are often lacking DISCOVERY OF CATTLEYAS nearer the forest floor.

Cattleya schilleriana Formerly: Epidendrum schillerianum

Colombian species, usually found on older trees near moving water. Single large leathery leaf per pseudobulb. Light pink to white flowers, bright orange disk on lip. Blooms in autumn–winter. Very similar to C. trianaei, sometimes considered a form of that species. Differs in the very crisp lip and petals, orange coloration on lip, and very intense fragrance.

ORCHID MORPHOLOGY AND CULTURE Orchid leaf, stem and root structures give hints to their cultural needs. Very thick leathery leaves indicate that they tolerate, and even prefer, very strong light. Epiphytic roots are signs that these orchids are accustomed to airy environments, so need to be potted in well-drained media. Thick pseudobulbs serve as water storing organs and are a clue that these orchids prefer to be dried off well between waterings. In general, orchids with hairy roots that are growing solely into the media and don’t have pseudobulbs prefer not to be dried out.

Found in humid forests of Guatemala south to Costa Rica. Bifoliate plant; pseudobulbs very narrow at base, thickening near apex. Usually carries 5 to 14 purple to pink flowers, white to yellow at throat of tubular lip, in spring. Several color forms naturally occur. C. s. var. alba ‘Rebemic’, albino form of species, lacking pigments, with white flowers. C. s. var. coerulescens lacks red pigment of typical forms, giving flowers a bluish cast. C. s. ‘Casa Luna’, attractive cultivar.

APPEARANCE: When young, many species have circular leaves that encircle the stems, but mature trees generally have sickle-shaped leaves. The flower bud has an enlarged floral receptacle and a cap, which covers numerous fluffy stamens and is shed when the flower opens. The stamens may be white, cream, yellow, pink, or red. The flowers appear at varying times and while often insignificant, those of some species are large and colorful. The fruit is a woody capsule.

Most of the 800-odd species of evergreen trees in this genus are native to Australia. Usually graceful and open in habit, eucalypts belong to the myrtle (Myrtaceae) family, which is noted for its aromatic leaves dotted with oil glands. They range in size from immense, single-trunk, forest trees to the multistemmed shrubs called mallees, and they are known for their peeling, often multi-colored bark and volatile aromatic oils. Eucalypts are adaptable to a wide range of climatic conditions and are cultivated in many parts of the world. The flowers are rich in nectar, and some species are among the finest honey plants.

THE MEANING OF LEAF An Exploration of Plant Structure from Root to Tip

ll of the plants around us today are descended from simple algaes that first emerged more than 500 million years ago. While new plant species are still being discovered, it is thought there are around 400,000 species in existence today. The huge diversity of forms that these plants take is staggering. From towering redwood trees, to diminutive mosses; from plants that developed stinging hairs and poisons, to those that adapted mechanisms to ‘eat’ insects; from those that require fire to germinate their seeds; to others that rely on ocean currents to distribute theirs.

Absorbing and beautifully presented exploration of plant morphology Stunningly illustrated with color photographs, explanatory figures, and feature SEM images allowing a unique close-up view Explores the anatomy of plants, from root to leaf tip

T H E N AT U R E O F C H A N G E The Extraordinary Science Behind Metamorphosis

A fascinating exploration of the astounding topic of metamorphosis Covers all the animals that undergo this transformation Stunning photos chart the structural changes each animal undergoes, while microscope imagery reveals the unseen changes, giving an inside-and-out view

etamorphosis is everywhere. From marine crustaceans and other invertebrates to insects, fish, and amphibians, the majority of the world’s animal species have incorporated metamorphosis into their life history. But what is metamorphosis, and what makes it such a spectacularly successful developmental and evolutionary strategy? In all animals metamorphosis is regulated through an intricate dance between ecology and endocrinology. One of the most fascinating aspects of metamorphosis is that—from bones to brain—it is accompanied by a profound remodeling of virtually every organ system in the animal. More remarkable yet is that this transformation is mediated by only a handful of hormones. How is this possible? 78

In this quest to understand the biology of metamorphosis, the reader will first learn about the most well-studied vertebrate and arthropod ‘models’ for metamorphosis, the amphibians and insects, respectively. To conclude this survey of metamorphosis, the reader will also be introduced to metamorphosis among the equally fascinating, but far less understood, fishes and marine crustaceans.
