Flying fish, 17th century artwork
Flying fish near a ship in stormy waters, coloured 17th century artwork. Flying fish use their front (pectoral) fins as wings

Mechanics of respiration, artwork
Mechanics of respiration. Cutaway artworks showing the mechanics of breathing in (left) and breathing out (right). Arrows show: the movement of air in and out of the nose

Peringueys adder side-winding
Peringueys adder (Bitis peringueyi), side-winding across desert sands. This venomous sidewinding adder, found in the Namib Desert of Namibia and Angola, hunts desert lizards and other small animals

Human and ape anatomy. Artwork comparing the anatomy of a human (left) and an ape (right). Both are primates, but as humans

Football kick, skeleton artwork
Football kick. Computer artwork showing a skeleton in the process of kicking a football (not seen). The outline of the body can also be seen

Skeleton and ligaments, artwork
Female skeleton, computer artwork. The human skeleton has 206 bones. The skull (at top) protects the brain. The ribs of the chest (at upper centre) enclose the heart and lungs

Cybernetic arm, composite image. The mans right arm has been replaced by a robotic one. This represents the development of prosthetic limbs that can not only be controlled by the patients nervous

Artificial blood cells, artwork
Artificial blood cells, conceptual computer artwork. Synthetic blood cells, or respirocytes, seen travelling along a blood vessel

Feather vane, light micrograph
Feather vane. Light micrograph of a part of a vane of a contour feather, from the wing of a bird. Each vane consists of several barbs (black) bearing barbules (thin)
