Adaptations are the modifications in behavior, physiology, anatomy or any other aspect of living organisms that allow them to inhabit a wide range of habitats. Further, the animal becomes adapted to changing climate more quickly as compared to that of plant species. This results in higher species diversity of animals on earth as compared to that of plants. For example, animals have developed the complex nervous system and endocrinal system to regulate the body function whereas plants have only hormonal regulation.

Write a complete sentence describing the location of the faux wound on the body's surface, indicated by the tip of the cartoon sword. Include information about the left or right side of the body, regional terms (such as brachial, femoral, pectoral, antebrachial, axillary, among others), and orientation terms (such as anterior, posterior, lateral, medial, proximal, distal). Also, mention any bone, suture, or muscle landmarks that can help pinpoint the location, as well as the distances using inches or cm for increased specificity. REMINDERS: 1. For the arms and legs, use proximal and distal instead of superior and inferior. 2. Do not use proximal and distal to describe things on the head or torso.

Structurally, sensory neurons are part of the nervous system cells because they detect and transmit sensory information. Tactile corpuscles (Meissner's) detect light touch, Lamellated corpuscles (Pacinian's) detect deep pressure and vibration, and free nerve endings detect pain and temperature. The proteins that stimulate olfactory receptor cells are specifically called odorant receptors. They are located on the surface of the eye and eyelid.
