The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria , heir presumptive to the Austro - Hungarian throne , and his wife Sophie , Duchess of Hohenberg , occurred on 28 June 1914 in Sarajevo when they were mortally wounded by Gavrilo Princip . Princip was one of a group of six assassins ( five Serbs and one Bosniak ) coordinated by Danilo Ilić , a Bosnian Serb and a member of the Black Hand secret society . The political objective of the assassination was to break off Austria - Hungary 's South Slav provinces so they could be combined into a Yugoslavia . The assassins ' motives were consistent with the movement that later became known as Young Bosnia . The assassination led directly to the First World War when Austria - Hungary subsequently issued an ultimatum to the Kingdom of Serbia , which was partially rejected . Austria - Hungary then declared war , triggering actions leading to war between most European states .

In 1924 , Erich von Stroheim attempted a literal adaptation of Frank Norris 's novel McTeague with his moving picture Greed , and the resulting film was 91⁄2 hours long . It was cut , at studio insistence , to four hours , then without Stroheim 's input , cut again to around two hours . The end result was a film that was largely incoherent . Since that time , few directors have attempted to put everything in a novel into a film . Therefore , elision is all but essential .


Republic Day honours the date on which the Constitution of India came into effect on 26 January 1950 replacing the Government of India Act ( 1935 ) as the governing document of India .


Chyme or chymus ( / kaɪm / ; from Greek χυμός khymos , `` juice '' ) is the semi-fluid mass of partly digested food that is expelled by the stomach , through the pyloric valve , into the duodenum ( the beginning of the small intestine ) .


Gases are constantly consumed and produced by cellular and metabolic reactions in most living things , so an efficient system for gas exchange between , ultimately , the interior of the cell ( s ) and the external environment is required . Small , particularly unicellular organisms , such as bacteria and protozoa , have a high surface - area to volume ratio . In these creatures the gas exchange membrane is typically the cell membrane . Some small multicellular organisms , such as flatworms , are also able to perform sufficient gas exchange across the skin or cuticle that surrounds their bodies . However , in most larger organisms , which have a small surface - area to volume ratios , specialised structures with convoluted surfaces such as gills , pulmonary alveoli and spongy mesophyll provide the large area needed for effective gas exchange . These convoluted surfaces may sometimes be internalised into the body of the organism . This is the case with the alveoli , which form the inner surface of the mammalian lung , the spongy mesophyll , which is found inside the leaves of some kinds of plant , or the gills of those molluscs that have them , which are found in the mantle cavity .


The book , which was Rowling 's debut novel , was written between approximately June 1990 and some time in 1995 . In 1990 Jo Rowling , as she preferred to be known , wanted to move with her boyfriend to a flat in Manchester and in her words , `` One weekend after flat hunting , I took the train back to London on my own and the idea for Harry Potter fell into my head ... A scrawny , little , black - haired , bespectacled boy became more and more of a wizard to me ... I began to write Philosopher 's Stone that very evening . Although , the first couple of pages look nothing like the finished product . '' Then Rowling 's mother died and , to cope with her pain , Rowling transferred her own anguish to the orphan Harry . Rowling spent six years working on Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone , and after it was accepted by Bloomsbury , she obtained a grant of £ 8,000 from the Scottish Arts Council , which enabled her to plan the sequels . She sent the book to an agent and a publisher , and then the second agent she approached spent a year trying to sell the book to publishers , most of whom thought it was too long at about 90,000 words . Barry Cunningham , who was building a portfolio of distinctive fantasies by new authors for Bloomsbury Children 's Books , recommended accepting the book , and the eight - year - old daughter of Bloomsbury 's chief executive said it was `` so much better than anything else '' .


`` I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas '' is a Christmas novelty song written by John Rox ( 1902 -- 1957 ) and performed by Gayla Peevey ( 10 years old at the time ) in 1953 . The song peaked at number 24 on Billboard magazine 's pop chart in December 1953 .


The Constitution was adopted by the Indian Constituent Assembly on 26 November 1949 , and came into effect on 26 January 1950 with a democratic government system , completing the country 's transition towards becoming an independent republic . 26 January was chosen as the Republic day because it was on this day in 1930 when Declaration of Indian Independence ( Purna Swaraj ) was proclaimed by the Indian National Congress as opposed to the Dominion status offered by British Regime .

The sedimentary rock cover of the continents of the Earth 's crust is extensive ( 73 % of the Earth 's current land surface ) , but the total contribution of sedimentary rocks is estimated to be only 8 % of the total volume of the crust . Sedimentary rocks are only a thin veneer over a crust consisting mainly of igneous and metamorphic rocks . Sedimentary rocks are deposited in layers as strata , forming a structure called bedding . The study of sedimentary rocks and rock strata provides information about the subsurface that is useful for civil engineering , for example in the construction of roads , houses , tunnels , canals or other structures . Sedimentary rocks are also important sources of natural resources like coal , fossil fuels , drinking water or ores .


Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the deposition and subsequent cementation of that material at the Earth 's surface and within bodies of water . Sedimentation is the collective name for processes that cause mineral or organic particles ( detritus ) to settle in place . The particles that form a sedimentary rock by accumulating are called sediment . Before being deposited , the sediment was formed by weathering and erosion from the source area , and then transported to the place of deposition by water , wind , ice , mass movement or glaciers , which are called agents of denudation . Sedimentation may also occur as minerals precipitate from water solution or shells of aquatic creatures settle out of suspension .


The valley , running generally west to east , is understood to include everything along the Urubamba River between the town and Inca ruins at Písac westward to Machu Piccu , 100 kilometres ( 62 mi ) distant . The Sacred Valley has elevations above sea level along the river ranging from 3,000 metres ( 9,800 ft ) at Pisac to 2,050 metres ( 6,730 ft ) at the Urubamba River below the citadel of Macchu Piccu . On both sides of the river , the mountains rise to much higher elevations , especially to the south where two prominent mountains overlook the valley : Sahuasiray , 5,818 metres ( 19,088 ft ) and Veronica , 5,893 metres ( 19,334 ft ) in elevation . The intensely cultivated valley floor is about 1 kilometre ( 0.62 mi ) wide on average . Side valleys and agricultural terraces ( andenes ) expand the cultivatable area .


The biblical account relates that , approximately one year after the Israelites ' exodus from Egypt , the Ark was created according to the pattern given to Moses by God when the Israelites were encamped at the foot of biblical Mount Sinai . Thereafter , the gold - plated acacia chest was carried by its staves while en route by the Levites approximately 2,000 cubits ( approximately 800 meters or 2,600 feet ) in advance of the people when on the march or before the Israelite army , the host of fighting men . When carried , the Ark was always hidden under a large veil made of skins and blue cloth , always carefully concealed , even from the eyes of the priests and the Levites who carried it . God was said to have spoken with Moses `` from between the two cherubim '' on the Ark 's cover . When at rest the tabernacle was set up and the holy Ark was placed under the veil of the covering , the staves of it crossing the middle side bars to hold it up off the ground .

Frankel , who had worked with Patricia Field on his feature - film debut Miami Rhapsody as well as Sex and the City , knew that what the cast wore would be of utmost importance in a movie set in the fashion industry . `` My approach was to hire her and then leave the room , '' he joked later . While only Valentino Garavani appeared onscreen , many other designers were helpful to Field . Her $100,000 budget for the film 's costumes was supplemented by help from friends throughout the industry . Ultimately , she believes , at least $1 million worth of clothing was used in the film , making it one of the most expensively costumed movies in cinema history . The single priciest item was a $100,000 Fred Leighton necklace on Streep .


Arousal regulation refers to entering into and maintaining an optimal level of cognitive and physiological activation in order to maximize performance . This may include relaxation if one becomes too anxious through methods such as progressive muscle relaxation , breathing exercises , and meditation , or the use of energizing techniques ( e.g. , listening to music , energizing cues ) if one is not alert enough . The use of meditation and specifically , mindfulness , is a growing practice in the field of arousal recognition . The Mindfulness - Acceptance - Commitment ( MAC ) Theory is the most common form of mindfulness in sport and was formed in 2001 . The aim of MAC is to maximize human potential for a rich , full and meaningful life . It includes specific protocol that involve meditation and acceptance practices on a regular basis as well as before and during competition . These protocol have been tested various times using NCAA men 's and women 's basketball players . In a study done by Frank L. Gardner , an NCAA women 's basketball player increased her personal satisfaction in her performances from 2.4 out of 10 to 9.2 out of 10 after performing the specific MAC protocol for several weeks . Also , the effect of mental barriers on her game decreased from 8 out of 8 to 2.2 out of 8 during that same time period as a result of the MAC protocol . Another study of the MAC protocol performed by Frank Gardner and Zella Moore on an adolescent competitive diver showed that when the MAC protocol is tailored to a specific population , it has the potential to provide performance enhancement . In this case , the vocabulary and examples in the protocol were tailored to be more practical for a 12 - year - old . After performed the MAC protocol for several weeks , the diver showed between a 13 to 14 percent increase in his diving scores . This finding is important because previously the majority of tests performed using the MAC protocol had been on world class athletes .


Typically , in modern - day play , an active roster will consist of five starting pitchers , seven relief pitchers , two catchers , six infielders , and five outfielders . Teams can vary this somewhat according to preference and circumstance , and indeed the `` typical '' roster makeup has changed somewhat over the years . ( Starting rotations used to consist of four pitchers , not five , well into the 1970s ; third - string catchers used to be much more common ; many other minor variations exist . ) In the American League , a full - time designated hitter is usually classified as either an infielder or an outfielder , not a DH , because most DHs do play defensive positions from time to time .

Observing a nearby small object without a magnifying glass or a microscope , the size of the object depends on the viewing distance . Under normal lighting conditions ( light source ~ 1000 lumens at height 600 -- 700 mm , viewing angle ~ 35 degrees ) the angular size recognized by naked eye will be round 1 arc minute = 1 / 60 degrees = 0.0003 radians . At a viewing distance of 16 '' = ~ 400 mm , which is considered a normal reading distance in the USA , the smallest object resolution will be ~ 0.116 mm . For inspection purposes laboratories use a viewing distance of 200 -- 250 mm , which gives the smallest size of the object recognizable to the naked eye of ~ 0.058 - 0.072 mm ( ~ 55 - 75 micrometers ) . The accuracy of a measurement ranges from 0.1 to 0.3 mm and depends on the experience of the observer . The latter figure is the usual positional accuracy of faint details in maps and technical plans .


After being absent for a time , they were reintroduced to grocery stores under the Popsicle brand name . However , due to differences in texture to the original and different shape , popularity never reached its predecessors which resulted in them beginning to be pulled from stores around 2011 .

X-rays make up X-radiation , a form of electromagnetic radiation . Most X-rays have a wavelength ranging from 0.01 to 10 nanometers , corresponding to frequencies in the range 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz ( 3 × 10 Hz to 3 × 10 Hz ) and energies in the range 100 eV to 100 keV . X-ray wavelengths are shorter than those of UV rays and typically longer than those of gamma rays . In many languages , X-radiation is referred to with terms meaning Röntgen radiation , after the German scientist Wilhelm Röntgen , who usually is credited as its discoverer , and who named it X-radiation to signify an unknown type of radiation . Spelling of X-ray ( s ) in the English language includes the variants x-ray ( s ) , xray ( s ) , and X ray ( s ) .


In contrast to separationism , the Supreme Court of the United States in Zorach v. Clauson upheld accommodationism , holding that the nation 's `` institutions presuppose a Supreme Being '' and that government recognition of God does not constitute the establishment of a state church as the Constitution 's authors intended to prohibit . As such , the Court has not always interpreted the constitutional principle as absolute , and the proper extent of separation between government and religion in the U.S. remains an ongoing subject of impassioned debate .

Following Imperial Japan 's victory in the Russo - Japanese War , with its subsequent withdrawal of Russian influence , and the Taft -- Katsura Agreement , in which the United States allegedly agreed not to interfere with Japan in matters concerning Korea , the Japanese government sought to formalize its sphere of influence over the Korean Peninsula .


Actor Jason Lee also portrays David Seville in a series of films about Alvin and the Chipmunks which uses a combination of live - action acting and computer animation . While Ross Bagdasarian , Jr. does not do any voices for the film series , the films are all produced in association with Bagdasarian Productions , which owns the rights to all of the characters .


Lead -- acid batteries lose the ability to accept a charge when discharged for too long due to sulfation , the crystallization of lead sulfate . They generate electricity through a double sulfate chemical reaction . Lead and lead dioxide , the active materials on the battery 's plates , react with sulfuric acid in the electrolyte to form lead sulfate . The lead sulfate first forms in a finely divided , amorphous state , and easily reverts to lead , lead dioxide and sulfuric acid when the battery recharges . As batteries cycle through numerous discharges and charges , some lead sulfate is not recombined into electrolyte and slowly converts to a stable crystalline form that no longer dissolves on recharging . Thus , not all the lead is returned to the battery plates , and the amount of usable active material necessary for electricity generation declines over time .


In addition to the Ohio River , the major tributaries of the Lower Mississippi River are the White River , flowing in at the White River National Wildlife Refuge in east central Arkansas ; the Arkansas River , joining the Mississippi at Arkansas Post ; the Big Black River in Mississippi ; and the Yazoo River , meeting the Mississippi at Vicksburg , Mississippi . The widest point of the Mississippi River is in the Lower Mississippi portion where it exceeds 1 mile ( 1.6 km ) in width in several places .


The occupation of the Baltic states was the military occupation of the three Baltic states -- Estonia , Latvia and Lithuania -- by the Soviet Union under the auspices of the Molotov -- Ribbentrop Pact on 14 June 1940 followed by their incorporation into the USSR as constituent republics , unrecognised by most Western powers . On 22 June 1941 , Nazi Germany attacked the USSR and within weeks occupied the Baltic territories . In July 1941 , the Baltic territory was incorporated into the Reichskommissariat Ostland of the Third Reich . As a result of the Baltic Offensive of 1944 , the Soviet Union recaptured most of the Baltic states and trapped the remaining German forces in the Courland pocket until their formal surrender in May 1945 . The Soviet `` annexation occupation '' ( Annexionsbesetzung or occupation sui generis ) of the Baltic states lasted until August 1991 , when the Baltic states regained independence .

Flair triumphantly returned to WCW as a hero in February 1993 , as a result of a `` no - compete '' clause he was unable to wrestle , so he hosted a short - lived talk show in WCW called A Flair for the Gold . Arn Anderson usually appeared at the bar on the show 's set , and Flair 's maid Fifi cleaned or bore gifts . Once he returned to action , Flair briefly held the NWA World Heavyweight Championship for a tenth time after defeating Barry Windham at Beach Blast before WCW finally left the NWA in September 1993 . At Fall Brawl , Flair lost the title , now rebranded the WCW International World Heavyweight Championship , to `` Ravishing Rick '' Rude . At Starrcade in 1993 , Flair defeated Vader to win the WCW World Heavyweight title for the second time . In the spring of 1994 , Flair began a tweener turn and started another feud with longtime rival Ricky Steamboat and challenged Steamboat to a match at Spring Stampede which ended in a no contest from a double pin , causing the title to be held up . Flair then defeated Steamboat in a rematch to reclaim the held - up title on an episode of WCW Saturday Night . The WWE does not count this victory as a new title win . Flair then challenged Col. Robert Parker to wrestle one of his men at Slamboree , which turned out to be Barry Windham , whom Flair defeated , afterwards he quietly turned heel and took Sherri Martel as his manager . He would also wrestle Lord Steven Regal in a five - match series under Marquess of Queensberry Rules , which aired on WCW Worldwide between April 30 and May 28 , in which Flair won the series , with 2 wins , 1 loss , and 2 draws .


The Karate Kid is a 2010 family martial arts drama film directed by Harald Zwart . It stars Jaden Smith , Taraji P. Henson and Jackie Chan in lead roles , and it was produced by Jerry Weintraub , James Lassiter , Ken Stovitz and Jaden 's parents Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith .

It is an international co-production between China , Hong Kong , and the United States .


Sex differences in humans , or gender differences in humans , have been studied in a variety of fields . In humans , biological sex is determined by five factors present at birth : the presence or absence of a Y chromosome , the type of gonads , the sex hormones , the internal reproductive anatomy ( such as the uterus in females ) , and the external genitalia . Genetic sex is determined solely by the presence or absence of a Y chromosome . A child 's presumed sex is determined at birth by observation of the external genitalia .


Thousands of drum players , dancers , vendors and visitors come together every Sunday afternoon throughout the temperate months , occupying much of the open space on the eastern edge of Mount Royal Park ( also known as Fletcher 's Field ) . Jeanne - Mance Park , located directly across Avenue du Parc from where the Tam - Tams take place , serves as the city 's main outdoor sporting ground . As such , the entire area is generally quite popular on Sundays in the summertime , drawing an exceptionally diverse crowd to myriad activities . The Tam - Tams typically start around 10 : 30am and continue until sunset . It is not an officially sanctioned nor sponsored event , simply a regular if technically spontaneous event . As such , it 's difficult to pinpoint when it started or what motivated the first drum circle .

The term `` train of thoughts '' was introduced and elaborated as early as in 1651 by Thomas Hobbes in his Leviathan , though with a somewhat different meaning ( similar to the meaning used by the British associationists ) :


Episodes in the series subsequently follow Sam 's reaction to each leap ( typically ending the cold open with him uttering `` Oh , boy ! '' on discovering his situation ) , and then working with Al and Ziggy to figure out his new identity and whom he needs to help to `` set right what once went wrong '' and trigger the next leap . An episode typically ends as a cliffhanger showing the first few moments of Sam 's next leap ( along with him again uttering `` Oh , boy ! '' on discovering his situation ) , which is repeated in the following episode 's cold open . Though initially Sam 's leaping is believed by Al and the others on the Quantum Leap team to be random , the characters come to believe in later seasons that someone or something is controlling Sam 's leaping , and this is a central focus of the show 's finale episode , `` Mirror Image '' .

In human anatomy , the extensor pollicis longus muscle ( EPL ) is a skeletal muscle located dorsally on the forearm . It is much larger than the extensor pollicis brevis , the origin of which it partly covers and acts to stretch the thumb together with this muscle .


The term `` cradle of civilization '' refers to locations where , according to current archeological data , civilization is understood to have emerged . Current thinking is that there was no single `` cradle '' , but several civilizations that developed independently , with the Fertile Crescent ( Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt ) understood to be the earliest . Other civilizations arose in Asia among cultures situated along large river valleys , such as Indo - Gangetic Plain in the Indian subcontinent and the Yellow River in China . The extent to which there was significant influence between the early civilizations of the Near East and those of East Asia is disputed . Scholars accept that the civilizations of Mesoamerica , mainly in modern Mexico , and Norte Chico in present - day Peru emerged independently from those in Eurasia .


Clearing of the land altered the Delta 's ecology , increasing the severity of flooding along the Mississippi . Much land is now held by agribusinesses .

Iodine is a chemical element with symbol I and atomic number 53 . The heaviest of the stable halogens , it exists as a lustrous , purple - black metallic solid at standard conditions that sublimes readily to form a violet gas . The elemental form was discovered by the French chemist Bernard Courtois in 1811 . It was named two years later by Joseph - Louis Gay - Lussac from this property , after the Greek ἰωδης `` violet - coloured '' .


Epithelium ( epi - + thele + - ium ) is one of the four basic types of animal tissue , along with connective tissue , muscle tissue and nervous tissue . Epithelial tissues line the cavities and surfaces of blood vessels and organs throughout the body .


Around 10,200 BC the first fully developed Neolithic cultures belonging to the phases Pre-Pottery Neolithic A ( PPNA ) and Pre-Pottery Neolithic B ( 7600 to 6000 BC ) appeared in the fertile crescent and from there spread eastwards and westwards . One of the most notable PPNA settlements is Jericho in the Levant region , thought to be the world 's first town ( settled around 8500 BC and fortified around 6800 BC ) . In Mesopotamia , the convergence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers produced rich fertile soil and a supply of water for irrigation . The civilizations that emerged around these rivers are among the earliest known non-nomadic agrarian societies . It is because of this that the fertile crescent region , and Mesopotamia in particular , are often referred to as the cradle of civilization . The period known as the Ubaid period ( c. 6500 to 3800 BC ) is the earliest known period on the alluvial plain , although it is likely earlier periods exist obscured under the alluvium . It was during the Ubaid period that the movement towards urbanization began . Agriculture and animal husbandry were widely practiced in sedentary communities , particularly in Northern Mesopotamia , and intensive irrigated hydraulic agriculture began to be practiced in the south . Eridu is the oldest Sumerian site settled during this period , around 5300 BC , and the city of Ur also first dates to the end of this period . In the south , the Ubaid period had a very long duration from around 6500 to 3800 BC ; when it is replaced by the Uruk period .


New Jersey currently has seven casinos , all of which are located in Atlantic City . In 2011 , New Jersey 's casinos employed approximately 33,000 employees , had 28.5 million visitors , made $3.3 billion in gaming revenue , and paid $278 million in taxes . They are regulated by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission and New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement .


Iodine is the fourth halogen , being a member of group 17 in the periodic table , below fluorine , chlorine , and bromine ; it is the heaviest stable member of its group . ( The scarce and fugitive fifth halogen , the radioactive astatine , is not well - studied due to its expense and inaccessibility in large quantities , but appears to show various unusual properties due to relativistic effects . ) Iodine has an electron configuration of ( Kr ) 4d 5s 5p , with the seven electrons in the fifth and outermost shell being its valence electrons . Like the other halogens , it is one electron short of a full octet and is hence a strong oxidising agent , reacting with many elements in order to complete its outer shell , although in keeping with periodic trends , it is the weakest oxidising agent among the stable halogens : it has the lowest electronegativity among them , just 2.66 on the Pauling scale ( compare fluorine , chlorine , and bromine at 3.98 , 3.16 , and 2.96 respectively ; astatine continues the trend with an electronegativity of 2.2 ) . Elemental iodine hence forms diatomic molecules with chemical formula I , where two iodine atoms share a pair of electrons in order to each achieve a stable octet for themselves ; at high temperatures , these diatomic molecules reversibly dissociate a pair of iodine atoms . Similarly , the iodide anion , I , is the strongest reducing agent among the stable halogens , being the most easily oxidised back to diatomic I. ( Astatine goes further , being indeed unstable as At and readily oxidised to At or At , although the existence of At is not settled . )


To address Christie 's concerns , new legislation was drafted that prohibits businesses other than Atlantic City casinos from advertising online gambling , or allowing their facilities to be used for online gambling . On February 26 , 2013 , a revised bill permitting Internet gambling was overwhelming approved by the New Jersey Legislature , and then signed into law by Chris Christie . The law legalizes online casino gambling for a 10 - year trial period , restricts the operation of the websites to Atlantic City 's eleven casinos , and imposes a 15 % tax on online gambling revenue , instead of the 8 % currently imposed on casinos .


The earliest forms of the potter 's wheel ( called tourneys or slow wheels ) were probably developed as an extension to this procedure . Tournettes , in use around 4500 BC in the Near East , were turned slowly by hand or by foot while coiling a pot . Only a small range of vessels were fashioned on the tournette , suggesting that it was used by a limited number of potters . The introduction of the slow wheel increased the efficiency of hand - powered pottery production .


The most obvious differences between males and females include all the features related to reproductive role , notably the endocrine ( hormonal ) systems and their physiological and behavioral effects , including gonadal differentiation , internal and external genital and breast differentiation , and differentiation of muscle mass , height , and hair distribution . There are also differences in the structure of specific areas of the brain . For example , on average , the SDN ( INAH3 in humans ) has been repeatedly found to be considerably larger in males than in females .

The normal blood glucose level ( tested while fasting ) for non-diabetics , should be between 3.9 and 5.5 mmol / L ( 70 to 100 mg / dL ) . The mean normal blood glucose level in humans is about 5.5 mmol / L ( 100 mg / dL ) ; however , this level fluctuates throughout the day . Blood sugar levels for those without diabetes and who are not fasting should be below 6.9 mmol / L ( 125 mg / dL ) . The blood glucose target range for diabetics , according to the American Diabetes Association , should be 5.0 -- 7.2 mmol / l ( 90 -- 130 mg / dL ) before meals , and less than 10 mmol / L ( 180 mg / dL ) after meals ( as measured by a blood glucose monitor ) .


Anatomy ( Greek anatomē , `` dissection '' ) is the branch of biology concerned with the study of the structure of organisms and their parts . Anatomy is a branch of natural science dealing with the structural organization of living things . It is an old science , having its beginnings in prehistoric times . Anatomy is inherently tied to embryology , comparative anatomy , evolutionary biology , and phylogeny , as these are the processes by which anatomy is generated over immediate ( embryology ) and long ( evolution ) timescales . Human anatomy is one of the basic essential sciences of medicine . Anatomy and physiology , which study ( respectively ) the structure and function of organisms and their parts , make a natural pair of related disciplines , and they are often studied together .


Bias is prejudice in favour of or against one thing , person , or group compared with another , usually in a way considered to be unfair .
