The respiratory system, in anatomy and physiology, are organs that deliver oxygen to the circulatory system to be transported to all body cells. The respiratory and circulatory system work together to deliver oxygen to cells and remove carbon dioxide in a two-phase process called respiration.

The first phase of respiration begins with breathing in, or inhalation. Inhalation brings air from outside the body into the lungs. Oxygen in the air moves from the lungs through blood vessels to the heart, which pumps the oxygen-rich blood to all th body-Oxygen then moves from the bloodstream into cells, which completes the first phase of respiration. In the cells, oxygen is used in a separate energy-producing process called cellular respiration, which produces carbon dioxide as a by product.

The second phase of respiration begins with the movement of carbon dioxide from the cells to the bloodstream. The bloodstream carries carbon dioxide to the heart, which pumps the carbon dioxide-laden blood to the lungs. In the lungs, breathing out, or exhalation, removes carbon dioxide from the body, thus completing the respiration cycle.

Disney definitely breaks the standard "Disney Princess" mold with this movie as Princess Merida is a fun, outgoing and wild girl that for once is not search for the love of prince. The character in the movie are entertaining and loved the way that the Scottish culture comes out in the movie. I found myself wishing for more music though, which is one of the things that truly love about past Disney movies. I would compare this movie more with "Shrek" than a movie like "Tangled".

As to the age of the kids that would like this movie I would have to say maybe 5 yeaers old and up. The movie is not quite engaging enough for very young viewers, which was a little disappointing for our three years old. There were parts of the movie that our daughter enjoyed, but it is engaging enough for younger viewers in the audience and made them cry, so be forewarned of this if you are bringing children under the age of five years old.

I've always been a big fan of Disney movies so on a 5-star scale I would rate this 4-star movie, It's definitely not a favourite, but I give it four stars for the relationship that build between Merida and her mother. I think this offer a great lesson to appreciate your family and truly listen to each others needs and concerns.

Animal testing is deeply divides subject, with a great deal of passion, emotion, and ideas on both sides regarding the ethic of the practice. Some individuals support animal testing and some others oppose its use.

The scientific community is strongly in favour in animal testing. The medical breakthroughs that have occurred as result of animal testing are considered reason enough to continue the practice, with the aim of reducing suffering and saving human lives. Animal testing aids researchers in finding drugs and treatments to improve health and medicine. Many medical treatment have been made possible by animal testing, including cancer and HIV drugs, insulin, antibiotics, vaccines, and many more. Animal testing also helps to ensure the safety of drugs and many other substances human use or are exposed to regularly. Scientists typically use animal for testing purpose because they are considered similiar to humans.

The contra on the issue of animal testing is that countless animals are experimented on and then killed after their use. Others are injured and will still live the rest of their lives in capacity. Many of those animals recieved tests for substances that will never actually be used for public consumption adn use. Anima testing generally costs an enermous amount of money as the animals must be fed, housed, cared for treated with drugs or experimental substances. The price of the animal themselves must also be factored into equation.

As a result of controversy, regulations and laws should be enforced. At the very least, animal suffering should be minimized and that animals should be respected during their care. If animal testing is to continue, animals must be abused.
