What's up with the odd "rods" beneath Glyphtodon eye sockets? Some hang down to the base of the lower jaw!

Those weird rods are actually downward-extended cheekbones! They’re attachment points for huge powerful jaw muscles, specialized for the way glyptodonts chewed their food with a forwards-and-backwards grinding motion.

Similar structures are also seen in some sloths and diprotodontids.

Trees in tropical rainforests play an important role in the water balance of the planet. Every tree is like a fountain, drawing water up from the soil and putting it out into the atnosphere.

Just one large mature tree may transpire well over 100,000 litres of water a year.

Imagine how much water a forest of trees would put out into the atmosphere, and the importance of this in maintaining the…

Anatomy Studyblr!

Tell me how you study anatomy and functional anatomy! I need to learn the origin, insertion, nerve, and action of muscles, in addition to answering clinical questions. 

Really appreciate the help. Thank you <3 

(i’m also looking for medblrs and anatomy-blrs to follow so like this/ reply for a follow!)

you have a body made of a central axis, wrapped in a double helix of muscles, connecting to four limbs, each of which is also wrapped in a double helix of muscles, and it is this spiral structure of muscles (tendons, and ligaments, attaching to bones) which allows us to generate so much movement complexity out of the combined flexion-extension, lateral flexion, adduction-abduction, internal and external rotation at every joint.
