Description
Cognition is a key aspect in lives of human beings. It is the aspect of human life that controls all the mental process as well as the activities in our daily lives. To be able to use our limbs, to communicate with people or to learn and perform a specific task we apply our cognitive resources. In essence cognition is omnipresent in all aspects in our lives. On the other hand psychology is a study of the mind and behavior. Through psychology, we learn about our emotions, our thought process and our behavior. Cognitive psychology helps us to understand our emotions, our thoughts and our behavior in response to our emotions and thoughts. We are also able to understand other
people that we interact with based on psychology of our cognition. In this unit you will learn how cognitive process affects our thoughts, emotions and behavior. This will help you understand yourself better and those you interact with.

EXCHANGE OF RESPIRATORY GASES
Trending!
Active body cells require lots of oxygen for energy production in aerobic respiration as we learnt in Lecture IV. A major by product of aerobic respiration is carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid and hence disturbs acid base balance in the body. Accumulation of carbon dioxide is therefore toxic to the cells as it may cause acidosis. Living cells have mechanisms of intake of oxygen and elimination of carbon dioxide. The two gases are known as respiratory gases. In small organisms such as protozoans the body surface provides an adequate surface area for the exchange of respiratory gases by diffusion. In mammals and other higher animals there are specialized systems for exchange of respiratory gases.

EMBRYONIC GROWTH AND METAMORPHOSES IN INSECTS
Trending!
Once an insect hatches from the egg it is usually
able to survive on its own, but it is small, wingless,
and sexually immature. Its primary role in life is to
eat and grow. If it survives, it will periodically
outgrow and replace its exoskeleton (a process known as moulting).
• In many species, there are other physical changes that also occur as the insect gets older (e.g., growth of wings and development of external genitalia)

Subphylum Uniramia
Trending!
Five classes of Uniramia are recognized:
1. Class Diplopoda (millipedes)
2. Class Chilopoda (centipedes)
3. Class Symphyla (sympylids)
4. Class Pauropoda (pauropods)
5. Class Insecta (insects)
Centipedes, millipedes, symphylids and pauropods are collectively called myriapodous arthropods (Myriapods). All have long trunks with many segments and appendages, most of which are walking legs.

Insect Hormones
Trending!
Insect Hormones
• A hormone is a chemical signal sent from cells in one
part of an organism to cells in another part (or parts) of
the same individual. They are often regarded as chemical messengers.
• Typically produced in very small quantities, but cause profound changes in their target cells
• Their effect may be stimulatory or inhibitory
• In some cases, a single hormone may have multiple targets and cause different effects in each target
• Examples of processes controlled by hormones include moulting, metamorphosis, oocyte development (vitellogenesis), colour change and diurnal rhythms of activity

Arthropods and the Environment
Trending!
An amazing variety of life exists in the soil ecosystem -from microscopic mites to small mammals.
• Most of the soil biota have barely been studied
• Soil arthropods and soil fungi - two of the largest groups in the soil have received more attention
• Importance of this below-ground ecosystem and its biodiversity is just beginning to be appreciated
• Soil ecosystem is very much alive, dynamic and
incredibly complex

LECTURE NOTE ON SURVEYING AND LEVELLING
Trending!
Surveying is defined as taking a general view of, by observation and measurement determining the boundaries, size, position, quantity, condition, value etc. of land, estates, building, farms mines etc. and finally presenting the survey data in a suitable form. This covers the work of the valuation surveyor, the quantity surveyor, the building surveyor, the mining surveyor and so forth, as well as the land surveyor.
• Another school of thought define surveying as the act of making measurement of the relative position of natural and manmade features on earths surface and the presentation of this information either graphically or numerically.
