Out of all the mammals other than humans, I find myself most fascinated by the porcupine. Out of all the mammals, it's probably the one where if I didn't know about porcupines and someone described it to me I would think it was a made-up animal like a unicorn or a jackalope.

Pictures of animals and plants belong on /an/, but I'll bite.
One of my favorite topics in biology is regenerative biology. I don't really know anything about it, but I'm looking to get more into it.
Jason Morgan
Definitely. Our planet's evolution is so alien to me, so fascinating.

biology truly disgusts me.

all i want to do is interface my brain in a robot body and be over with this nonsense. if only mind uploading was possible. fml.

These make me really uncomfortable. Fuck wormy parasites.

Can they be saved?
or are they fucked forever?

i particularry find intriguing the role of cerebellum, that is getting bigger and bigger in humans
Luis Bennett
Interesting, I didn't know about that.
It seems like we need it for fine motor control.
Ethan Bailey
I was curious so I looked it up and turns out the animal can actually regrow the hoof from that state, with a bit of help.
Bentley Robinson
yes but it also works for behaviours and logical schemes, kinda registers a "plan of action" be it a motor act or everything about planning.
for movement is probably the reason we can do such complex reactions on istinctive level, differently from most wild animals that only have a very limited number of istinctive reactions (run, jump, bite, etc)
i find very appealing that it works on behaviours too, and on logical thinking, making problem solving something istinctive

Biology is the most boring of all the sciences.

brainlet here. How does the cell "know" where to go? It doesn't have sensory organs, yet it moves with animal intelligence.

Can't post everything though because gay mods think a nipple is porn
Colton Nelson
It has receptors that identify proteins and other molecules emitted by bacteria. The receptors trigger some sort of function inside the cell that moves it to the bacteria.
Mason Myers
In one word: chemotaxis.
Carter Flores
...
Jackson Cruz
Yes.
Zachary Walker

Kayden Phillips
What the other user sais. It's a pretty cool phenomenon. You can basically see it as a very rudimentary nervous system. What he described was chemotaxis, there are other ways of ortienting yourself, for example, to light and that's called phototaxis then.
Jose King
It does have sensory organs, just not eyes. It can detect perturbations in the flow of the liquid around it. White blood cells are fairly sophisticated.
Julian Walker
Wtf is that, lightning barf? Looks fucking awesome.
Jason Cook
Combination tongue/intestine. It's trying to figure out if it can eat him.

You wouldn't think that humans and vertebrates are the only ones that get parasites, do you?
In fact you will find many more anelides doing weird parasitic things than in more "complex" groups.
Evan Flores
lets "transition" to some epithelium.
Jaxon Russell
a tunicate, in short:
Imagine a chordate(not even with bones) trying to be a sponge.

Ciliated pseudostratified squamous epithelium iirc.

This sounds a bit stupid, but I've always felt a twinge of guilt when I think about all the little cells working so hard to keep me alive. I know they're not conscious and I know they, collectively, ARE me… but, yeah.
Kayden Jackson
wow. I know pathetic people exist in various degrees, but that is the most pathetic thing I've heard in fucking years. Congrats dude. You feel obligation to a fucking protein blob. What did your parents do to you at nights?
Eli Thompson
The human heart and other hearts have intrinsic pacemaker potential. As in, they can depolarize themselves, with no need of nerves. So you can take them out of the body and they will keep beating for a long ass time, provided you supply them with blood and other nutrients.
Xavier Turner
Really, the most pathetic thing you've read in fucking YEARS? What kind of hyperbolic moron are you?
Carson Cooper
I agree with him. This IS one of the most pathetic things one can possibly say.
