So I finished Bio revision...

And our last topic was the animal kingdom (like classification and whatnot, I made a wonderful flowchart for it =]) Somehow, that got me thinking about this type of Australian bird I remember learning about from Primary school. So I sat and thought.

and thought..

and thought...

AND REMEMBERED!! It's called the Tawny Frogmouth- I know, awesome name right? That is just the beginning, when I googled this bird to refresh my memory like every page had some lolful pic on it. Anyway, it gave me such a refreshing change from the dullness of bio that I felt I should share the good mood with the internet ^_^

"Smouldering eyes" I need to learn how to do this expression bahah

At the time I thought this one had a kind of evil little dictator look about it but now it kind of just looks out of it ..^^"

"Bed hair"

You may think this this one is happy to see you, but the caption that came with it said it was eating a small animal =[

Ok so now you can all see how the week of being locked up at home has affected me =p Anyway hope that gave you some kind of respite from the hard studying I know you are all doing ^^

Fact: The juxtaglomerular apparatus is made of modified smooth muscle, and reacts to drops in blood pressure by releasing renin which acts on angiotensinogen which acts on angiotensin I which acts on angiotensin II which stiumlates thirst, constricts peripheral arterioles, constricts efferent arterioles in nephrons and makes the hypothalamus produce aldosterone via the posterior pituitary which changes the permeability of the tissue in the thick ascending limb of Henle to water which allows more to be reabsorped and increases total blood volume, leading to an increase in blood pressure, maintaining homeostasis. =] Wooosh! I told you I'd done my bio revision XD
