Illustration - Vortex. RMS Titanic Sinking. Illustration demonstrates the working of the vortex by drawing a spoon across a trough of water. Suction can be clearly seen, caused by the swirling water and this was the probable cause of the 'Hawke' - 'Oympic' collision and the narrowly averted accident to the Titianic at Southampton. Titanic was built by Harland & Wolff in Belfast Ireland during 1910 - 1911 and later sank on April 15th, 1912 off the coast of New Foundland after striking an iceberg

Need for Searchlights. Searchlights On Ocean Liners. Illustration to show how lights fitted to a liner, by either oscillating or revolving, could create a pathway of light, not only directly ahead, but well to port and starboard. The collision and loss of the Titanic seems to have been due more than anything to the invisibility of an iceberg at night. Titanic was built by Harland & Wolff in Belfast Ireland during 1910 - 1911 and later sank on April 15th, 1912 after striking an iceberg off the co

CELL METABOLISM. The utilization of nutrients by cells. Illustration of how a cell uses nutrients brought to it by the arterial network. The nutrients penetrate the cell, and the cell then transforms them and uses them in the form of heat, energy, proteins and reserves. The waste products created by these transformations (urea and carbon dioxide) are then evacuated by way of the veinous network.

STEM CELL. STEM CELL Three types of stem cells exist. Totipotent (totally potent) stem cells, present within th early embryo, are capable of forming every type of body cell. Pluripotent cells (also called embryonic stem cells) and multipotent cells (also called somatic or adult stem cells) are differentiated to varying degrees and produce specialized cells. Stem cells in the umbilical cord are hematopoietic. They are differentiated or specialized, adult stem cells that are committed to making
