EXCELLENT BASE FOR RESEARCH WORK 238 sense organs 239 sense organs sight sight eye Organ of vision that allows a person to see. upper eyelid Thin movable muscular membrane descending from the upper edge of the eye. The eyelids protect the eye, emit tears and discharge waste. Batting of the eyelashes is very frequent. eyelash Each of the hairs lining the free edge of the eyelid; they prevent dust and other particles from entering the eye. pupil Central orifice of the eye whose opening varies to regulate the amount of light entering the eye; light causes the pupil to contract. H U M A N B E I N G lacrimal caruncle Small reddish mass located at the inner corner of the eye formed by the fold of the conjunctiva. PAGES: 1,072 pages + index Up to 1,152 pages (2-language version) FORMAT: 194 mm × 248 mm (7 5/8 in. × 9 3/4 in.) TARGET AUDIENCE: General audience, libraries, families, professionals SRP: US$49.95 iris Colored central portion of the eyeball composed of muscles whose dilation or contraction controls the opening of the pupil. eyeball Enclosed in a bony cavity (orbit) and moved by six muscles, this complex organ collects light signals and transmits them to the brain to form images. posterior chamber Cavity of the eye surrounding the lens and containing the aqueous humor. focus Point where light rays converge to form an image; the brain interprets the retina's upside-down image as right-side-up. sclera Strong fibrous opaque membrane covered by the conjunctiva; it surrounds the eyeball and protects the inner structures. lens Transparent elastic area of the eye; focuses images on the retina to obtain clear vision. vision defects Images do not form on the retina, thus resulting in blurry vision; such defects are corrected by eyeglasses, contact lenses or even surgery. sclera Strong fibrous opaque membrane covered by the conjunctiva; it surrounds the eyeball and protects the inner structures. hyperopia The image of an object is formed behind the retina due to a defect in the light rays' convergence as they pass through the lens. This makes near objects hard to see. macula lutea Small area located at the centre of the retina, near the optic disk, where visual acuity is best. cornea Transparent fibrous membrane extending the sclera and whose curved shape makes light rays converge toward the inside of the eye. focus Point where light rays converge to form an image; the brain interprets the retina's upside-down image as right-side-up. optic nerve Nerve formed by the juncture of the nerve fibers of the retina; it carries visual information to the brain, where it is interpreted. lens Transparent flexible fibrous disk located behind the iris, acting as a variable lens refracting light rays. blind spot Region of the retina with no photoreceptors, where blood vessels and nerve fibers gather to form the optic nerve. It is also called the optic disk. pupil Central orifice of the eye whose opening varies to regulate the amount of light entering the eye; light causes the pupil to contract. myopia The image of a distant object is formed in front of the retina due to a defect in the light rays' convergence. This makes distant objects hard to see. vitreous body Transparent gelatinous mass (almost 90% of the eye); it maintains constant intraocular pressure so the eye keeps its shape. aqueous humor Transparent liquid contained in the anterior and posterior chambers; it nourishes the iris and maintains the pressure and shape of the eye. iris Colored central portion of the eyeball composed of muscles whose dilation or contraction controls the opening of the pupil. focus Point where light rays converge to form an image; the brain interprets the retina's upside-down image as right-side-up. retina Inner membrane at the back of the eye covered in light-sensitive nerve cells (photoreceptors); these transform light into an electrical impulse that is carried to the optic nerve. suspensory ligament Fibrous tissue connecting the ciliary body to the lens, holding it in place inside the eyeball. conjunctiva Fine transparent mucous covering the sclera and inner surface of the eyelid; it facilitates sliding thus giving the eyeball its wide range of movement. rod Photoreceptor active in dim light and responsible for night vision (in black and white). ciliary body Muscle tissue secreting the aqueous humor; its muscles enable the lens to change shape to adapt vision for near or distant objects. 102 astigmatism Usually caused by a curvature of the cornea, it is manifested by blurred or imperfect vision when viewing both near and distant objects. focus Point where light rays converge to form an image; the brain interprets the retina's upside-down image as right-side-up. cone Photoreceptor active in full light and responsible for perception of specific colors. There are three types: redyellow, green and blue-violet. plant life plant life plant cell PLANTS AND PLANTLIKE ORGANISMS starch granule Concentric layers of complex sugars (starch) produced by the cell and stored for food. cell wall Stiff exterior layer that surrounds the cell membrane and gives the cell its shape.

Bone s tr ucture COMPACT BONE TISSUE The architecture of the body • About 31,000 words • Over 350 illustrations In spite of its density and hardness, compact bone tissue is alive. Tiny cavities (lacunae) and canals (canaliculi) between the lamellae are filled with osteocytes, mature bone cells responsible for providing nutrition to the bone tissue. The lacunae of the osteon are connected by tiny canals, canaliculi, where extensions of the osteocytes are lodged. Long bones, such as the femur, are composed of a hollow cylindrical central portion, the shaft, and two bulges at the ends, the epiphyses. Between the shaft and the epiphyses are the metaphyses. lamella The lacunae are filled with osteocytes. proximal epiphysis The architecture of the body The outer layer of bones is formed of compact bone tissue, which is very dense and remarkably resistant to pressure and shocks. Compact tissue is composed mainly of osteons, small cylinders made of a number of concentric layers of hard matrix. Osteons are packed tightly together and are connected by longitudinal canals (haversian canals) and transversal canals (Volkmann’s canals), which contain lymphatic and blood vessels as well as nerve fibers. Flexible yet strong tissues A bone is six times as strong as a bar of steel of the same weight. This remarkable strength comes from the nature of the bone tissues. All bones are composed of groupings of compact and spongy (or cancellous) tissues in different proportions and positions depending on the type of bone. These tissues contain collagen, a protein that gives bones their flexibility, and mineral salts (calcium, phosphorus), which are responsible for their solidity. metaphysis The epiphyses are composed mainly of spongy tissue covered with articular cartilage. They contain red marrow, a tissue that produces several types of blood cells. PAGES: 128 pages FORMAT: 248 mm × 195 mm (9 3/4 in. × 7 2/3 in.) TARGET AUDIENCE: Families, students SRP: US$19.95 An osteocyte is a bone cell completely surrounded by matrix. Its many extensions carry nutrient elements. shaft periosteum osteon At the core of every osteon is a haversian canal, through which circulate blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves. metaphysis distal epiphysis Volkmann’s canals connect the haversian canals to the periosteum and medullary canal. The concentric lamellae of an osteon are composed of collagen fibers and mineral salts. The shafts of long bones are frequently subjected to great pressure. They are made mainly of compact bone tissue. SPONGY BONE TISSUE In adults, the interior of the epiphyses and metaphyses is formed of spongy bone in an irregular honeycomb formation. This structure gives the bone its lightness. The shaft and metaphyses are completely covered by a fine vascularized membrane, the periosteum. Ne u ro n s The most innovative aspect of this series lies in the original, integrated arrangement of its content. Each explanation is closely linked to the main illustration so that readers can follow every stage of the particular phenomenon explored. The myelin sheath improves the electrical insulation of neurons. The cavities between the trabeculae are filled with marrow, blood vessels, and nerves. trabecula The nervous system is based on neurons. These highly specialized cells are unique in that they can 20 carry electrical and chemical signals and transmit them to other cells (nervous, muscular, glandular, etc.). Every motor, sensory, and association neuron is made of a cell body and a number of extensions, including dendrites, which receive electrical impulses, and axons, which transmit these impulses. Schwann cell 21 The axon, a structure unique to neurons, is a cellular extension that is attached to the cell body at the axon hillock and is between 1 mm (in the cerebrum) and 1 m (in the leg) long. Most axons are covered with myelin, a white fatty substance. Schwann cells (or oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system) deposit the myelin in layers to form a sheath, which is divided into segments by narrow sections called nodes of Ranvier. Golgi apparatus Dendrites are extensions of the cell body that receive nerve impulses. Electrical signals propagate along the axon at a speed of up to 400 km/h. axon hillock The medullary canal, in the center of the shaft, contains rich in fat yellow bone marrow. THE AXON axonal terminal bouton nucleus of Schwann cell The nervous system The nervous system Cells that transmit nerve impulses The nodes of Ranvier, which separate Schwann cells, accelerate propagation of electrical signals. Axon terminals have a branching structure. endoplasmic reticulum Some neurons are contacted by up to 30,000 synapses. cell nucleus The cell body contains the cell nucleus and other organelles. mitochondrion SYNAPSES dendrite cell body axon terminal The nerve message passes from one neuron to another at a site called the synapse. Usually, two neurons are not in direct contact but are separated by a very thin cleft, so the electrical signal must be converted into a chemical signal in order for transmission to take place. In a chemical synapse, a synaptic cleft separates the two membranes. dendrite axon Neurons are classified into three categories, according to their function. Motor (or efferent) neurons direct nerve impulses toward muscles and glands. Sensory (or afferent) neurons transmit messages from the sensory receptors to the nerve centers. Finally, association neurons (or interneurons) connect two other neurons. About 90% of all neurons in the body are of the last type. 44 When a nerve impulse reaches the terminal bouton, neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft from the vesicles that contain them. When these molecules come into contact with the receptors of the postsynaptic neuron, they generate an electrical signal. axonal terminal bouton DIFFERENT TYPES OF NEURONS Neurons can also be distinguished by their structure. Multipolar neurons ①, the most common, have many dendrites and a long axon. Most are motor neurons and interneurons. Pseudounipolar neurons ②, which are always sensory neurons, have a single extension that divides into two branches. Finally, bipolar neurons ③ have two extensions. axon terminal cell body synaptic vesicle axon axon terminal neurotransmitter dendrite cell body axon neurotransmitter receptor postsynaptic neuron 45 “A picture’s worth a thousand words, and that’s exactly what the explanations are based on: a first step toward discovery.” Club-culture (Canada) “This is a high-quality book, whose illustrations are very well detailed and remarkably clear.

Placenta The placenta forms in the uterus of the pregnant woman at nidation and permits exchanges between the fetus and the mother. The numerous blood vessels that run through it carry, through the umbilical cord, nutrients, antibodies, and oxygen to the fetus and evacuate its waste (carbon dioxide, urea). THE LUNGS THE PULMONARY LOBES Located inside the rib cage on either side of the heart, the lungs are The pulmonary lobes are subdivisions of the lungs.

Its heart begins air, then deflate, to the rhythm of breathing. to beat and blood circulation is in place, while an outline of its digestive system and urinary system appear. Subsequently, the organs develop and the skeleton hardens. At the end of eight weeks, the embryo appears human and its limbs are well-defined: it becomes a fetus. Trachea Almost five inches (10 cm) in length, the trachea allows the passage of air between the larynx and the bronchial tubes. Its interior wall is covered with a mucous membrane with cilia, whose movements expel the solid particles and excess mucus towards the upper respiratory tracts. Ear During the 6th week, RESPIRATION Respiration includes ventilation and hematosis. Ventilation is the circulation of air in the lungs, to the rhythm of inhalation and exhalation. Hematosis is the exchange of gases between the air and the blood, which takes place in the area of contact between a pulmonary alveolus and blood capillaries. The rhythm and amplitude of respiration may vary according to the level of carbon monoxide in the blood, age, state of health, physical activity, and environmental factors such as altitude and the quality of the inhaled air. The normal rhythm in an adult in good health and at rest is 12 to 20 respirations per minute.

Rib The ribs protect the heart and the lungs. During respiration, they expand under the action of the intercostal muscles. Bronchioles Venule The oxygenated blood is transported by venules that meet in the pulmonary veins. COUGHING Reflex or voluntary, the cough is an abrupt and noisy exhalation that forces the expulsion of air from the lungs. It allows the elimination of excess mucus or irritating elements (dust, foreign body, chemical agent) present in the larynx, trachea, or bronchial tubes. Normally temporary, it may also indicate a respiratory problem when it becomes chronic. Unlike dry cough, a loose cough is accompanied by expectoration. Persistent dry coughs may be relieved with antitussives, generally in syrup form, while loose coughs are soothed by taking expectorants, which liquefy the mucus and facilitate its expulsion. A spoonful of honey may also soothe slight coughs, because it contains antioxidants and natural antibacterials. Blood capillary The pulmonary alveoli are surrounded by numerous blood capillaries. Oxygenated air Alveolar cell Carbon dioxide Carbon dioxide is carried by the red blood cells towards the lungs, where it is eliminated by respiration. Eye The eyes of the fetus perceive light, but sight continues to develop after birth. Right lower lobe Air heavy with carbon monoxide Pulmonary alveolus The pulmonary alveoli are small cavities located at the end of the bronchioles. Arranged in clusters, they are surrounded by a thin wall that permits gaseous exchanges with the adjacent blood capillaries. Left upper lobe Umbilical cord The umbilical cord connects the fetus to the placenta. It consists primarily of blood vessels (one vein and two arteries). Middle lobe Eye The eyes of the embryo appear at the end of the 6th week. They continue to develop during the 7th week and are then covered with an eyelid. Six-week embryo A six-week embryo measures almost ½ inch (13 mm) and weighs approximately 1.5 g. Its limbs are already differentiated and its face is beginning to have a human appearance. Amniotic sac The amniotic sac contains the fetus and the amniotic fluid, a transparent liquid consisting mainly of water and fetal urine and which provides the fetus with protection against variations in temperature, external shocks, and the majority of infections.

It undergoes significant growth, especially during the second trimester, growing from 3 to nearly 20 inches (from 8 to 50 cm). It straightens out and its features become finer while its weight increases from ¼ ounce to 7 pounds (8 g to 3.2 kg). From the 12th week, its kidneys function and it starts to urinate in the amniotic fluid. Its cardiovascular system develops until the 3rd month and its digestive system until the 7th month. The fetus is aware of tactile stimuli from the 4th month and begins to perceive sounds from the outside world at seven months. At birth, the skeleton is formed, but the bones are still partially cartilaginous. The bones, as well as several other organs such as the brain, the cerebellum, and the genital organs continue their maturation after birth. Pregnancy is all of the physiological phenomena that occur in a pregnant woman between fertilization and childbirth. It normally lasts between 40 and 42 weeks from the last menstrual period. After fertilization, the egg divides to form an embryo, which implants itself in the uterine wall and progressively develops into a fetus. During pregnancy, the woman experiences a number of physical transformations, which often involve minor problems. In some cases, the pregnancy cannot continue to term and ends with a premature birth or a miscarriage. In industrialized countries, pregnant women benefit from prenatal examinations that make it possible to detect possible complications. Oxygen The oxygen resulting from respiration is carried to the cells by the hemoglobin of the red blood cells. Diaphragm The diaphragm is a muscle that separates the thorax from the abdomen. During inhalation, it lowers while contracting, which enables the lungs to fill up with air. MILLIONS OF ALVEOLI The lungs contain approximately 300 million alveoli. The total surface of the pulmonary alveoli equals that of a tennis court.

More or less long or tapered depending on the variety, it measures between 6 and 90 cm in length and between 1 and 6 cm in diameter. its colour can be orange, white, yellow, red, purple or black. Did you know ? MAIN VARIETIES Carrots are generally classified into five major groups based on their shape. IMpERAToR Long and tapered, the Imperator carrot is generally less sweet than the other varieties but keeps longer. Very popular in North America, it comes in several colours and can be cooked in various ways. NANTES Cylindrical in shape, crunchy and very sweet, the Nantes carrot is usually a dark orange colour. Less fibrous than the Imperator carrot, it is delicious eaten raw. ChANTENAy Small, sweet and conical in shape, the Chantenay carrot is used extensively in the carrot industry for canning or freezing. DANVERS Conical in shape and a little longer than the Chantenay, the Danvers carrot is used primarily in food processing (e.g. juice and baby food). SToRING AND pRESERVING Chef’s tip carrots do not need to be peeled unless they are very big. Just scrub them with a vegetable brush and tap water. Daucus carota var. sativus, apiacEaE an edible root plant that grows naturally in the wild in Europe and asia, the carrot has been consumed since antiquity for its seeds, which were used as an aromatic. The whitish root, very small and bitter-tasting, was probably not eaten. varieties of edible carrots were cultivated in central asia and introduced by Muslims to Europe in the Middle ages. These ancient varieties (sometimes called eastern carrots) were purple or pale yellow in colour. The orange-coloured carrot that we know today (sometimes called western carrot) was developed in the Netherlands in the 17th century. During World War II, the British government set out to conceal the fact that the Royal Air Force was using radar, a tech nological innovation that could detect enemy bombers at night. To trick the enemy, the govern ment spread the rumor that British pilots had extraordinary night vision because of a diet rich... in carrots! The rumor spawned a veritable carrot craze. While carrots are good for night vision, they can hardly turn the tides of war. USING AND pAIRING There are literally countless ways to use carrots, from hors d’oeuvres to desserts to wine making. Carrots can be eaten raw on their own or in salads, sandwiches and appetizers, or added to cake mixes and cookie dough. Cooked carrots can be served as a side dish with or without other vegetables. They can be creamed, prepared jardinière, glazed or buttered, and are deli cious pureed with potatoes. Carrots can also be added to a wide variety of dishes, including soups, stews, quiches, soufflés and omelets, or pickled in vinegar. Carrots are easy to keep. They last between one and four weeks in the refrigerator (young carrots last less time). Make sure to wrap them, since they lose moisture when left in the open air. Do not store carrots in an airtight bag; the conden sation will make them spoil. Make a few holes in the bag or add an absorbent paper towel. Avoid storing carrots near fruits or vegetables that release ethylene gas, such as pears, apples and potatoes; they will ripen too quickly and become bitter. Carrots can winter in the garden if well buried and covered with straw. As long as there is no cold snap, they will be ready for picking whenever you need them. Carrots store well in the freezer. Blanch them for 3 minutes if cut, or 5 minutes if whole. They will keep for a year at 18°C. Carrot tops, which are rich in mineral salts, make excellent cream soups or can be added to salads and sauces. pREpARING Wash or brush the carrot gently; do not peel it unless the carrot is old. Green near the stem is an indication that the carrot has been exposed to the sun. Remove the green part since it is bit ter. Carrots can be eaten whole; cut into sticks, rounds, sec tions or matchsticks; diced; or coarsely or finely grated. CooKING Carrots are wellsuited for every type of cooking. Shorten cooking time to preserve maximum flavour and nutritional value. Steam for 5 to 8 minutes; boil for 3 to 5 minutes. NUTRITIoNAL VALUE Carrots are an excellent source of carotenoids. These pigments that give them their colour have antioxidant properties and help the formation of vitamin A in the body. The amount of carotenoids contained in carrots differs according to the vari ety; purple carrots have the most, followed by orange, red, yellow and white varieties. Purple carrots are also the only ones that contain anthocyanins, antioxidant compounds that give them their unusual colour. The amount of sugar is the same for all varieties, but purple carrots are sweeter to the taste. Con suming foods that are rich in carotenoids is associated with a decreased risk of developing certain agerelated diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Carotte 1 medium BUyING TIpS Choose carrots that are firm and evenly coloured. Carrots are usually sold without their tops (stems and leaves), which are removed during picking to prevent loss of humidity. If the tops are present, they should be firm and evenly coloured. Avoid any carrots that are soft, have wet sections or have begun to sprout. DWARF CARRoT Very small and sweet, dwarf carrots are found mainly in public or spe cialty markets. Excellent eaten raw, they differ from the “baby carrots” sold in super markets, which are made from large carrots that have been cut into cylindrical pieces.

On peut aussi griller les tranches de me lon au barbecue jusqu’à ce qu’elles soient marquées par la grille. ENTREPOSAGE ET CONSERVATION Les melons sont très fragiles et ils se gâtent rapidement. Laisser mûrir le melon à la température de la pièce. Lorsqu’il est mûr ou entamé, le conserver dans le bac à fruits du réfrigérateur (jusqu’à 1 semaine) en prenant soin de l’emballer dans un film ou un sac de plastique pour que son arôme n’imprègne pas les autres fruits. Les melons, toutes variétés confondues, sont des sources de potassium. Ce minéral est important puisqu’il aide le cœur et les autres muscles du corps à se contracter. Les melons renferment également de la vitamine C, en particulier le cantaloup et le Casaba. Le cantaloup est une bonne source de vita mine A (laquelle est présente principalement sous forme de bêtacarotène) et une source de folate, tandis que le Casaba est une source de pyridoxine (B6), une vitamine qui agit sur les neurotransmetteurs et joue un rôle dans l’équilibre psychique.

PRINCIPALES ESPÈCES 64 Truite et omble SÉLECTION À L’ACHAT La truite est vendue fraîche ou congelée, entière, parée, en filets et quelquefois en darnes. On la retrouve également fumée et plus rarement en conserve. La truite saumonée est une des appellations de la truite d’élevage. UTILISATION ET ACCORDS Apprêter la truite le plus simplement possible afin de ne pas en masquer la finesse. Elle se cuisine comme le saumon qu’elle peut remplacer dans les recettes. Elle est délicieuse avec un filet de jus de citron après avoir été trempée dans la farine et dorée à la poêle dans du beurre. Elle se marie parfaitement avec les amandes, le bacon, l’oignon, l’ail, la pomme, le cidre ou la crème. La laitance de truite arc-en-ciel ou de truite d’Europe est comestible ; on la mélange avec de la chapelure pour farcir le poisson. arc-en-ciel, sauvage, crue Teneur Matières grasses % VQ* arc-en-ciel, sauvage, cuite Teneur % VQ* La truite est une excellente source de vitamine B12, de vitamine D et de niacine (vitamine B3). La vitamine B12 est essentielle pour la formation des globules rouges alors que la niacine permet au corps de produire de l’énergie et favorise une croissance et un développement normaux. La truite est également une bonne source de sélénium et de phosphore. Lorsque fumée, elle renferme de plus grandes quantités de sodium en raison des différents procédés utilisés dans la fumaison, dont l’étape de saumurage. Selon l’espèce, la truite peut être considérée comme un poisson gras ou semi-gras. De son côté, l’omble chevalier est une excellente source de vitamine D et de niacine, ainsi qu’une bonne source de vitamine B6 et de thiamine (vitamine B1), de phosphore et de sélénium. La truite et l’omble sont des sources non négligeables d’acides gras oméga-3, reconnus pour leurs effets bénéfiques sur la santé cardiovasculaire et plus spécifiquement pour leurs effets anti-inflammatoires et antithrombotiques. arc-en-ciel d’élevage, crue arc-en-ciel d’élevage, cuite Omble chevalier Teneur Teneur 75 g % VQ* % VQ* cru bouilli % VQ* Teneur % VQ* 4% 4,4 g 7% 4,1 g 6% 5,4 g 8% 2,0 g 3% 3,8 g 6% 0,5 g 3% 1,2 g 6% 1,2 g 6% 1,6 g 8% saturées 0,5 g 2% 0,7 g 3% 0,8 g - 1,3 g - 1,2 g - 1,6 g - mono-insaturées 1,0 g - 1,9 g polyinsaturées oméga-6 0,25 g - 0,30 g - 0,55 g 0,73 g - polyinsaturées oméga-6 0,04 g - 0,13 g polyinsaturées oméga-3 0,59 g - 1,00 g - 0,73 g - 0,92 g - polyinsaturées oméga-3 0,53 g - 0,83 g - 44 mg 15 % 52 mg 17 % 44 mg 15 % 51 mg 17 % Cholestérol ND - 45 mg 15 % 1% Sodium 0% Glucides Sodium 23 mg Glucides 1% 0,0 g 0% 42 mg 2% 0,0 g 0% 26 mg 1% 0,0 g 0% 32 mg 0,0 g Matières grasses Teneur 2,6 g saturées mono-insaturées Cholestérol 46 mg 2% 0,0 g 0% - 38 mg 2% 0,0 g 0% Protéines 15,4 g - 17,2 g - 15,7 g - 18,2 g - Protéines 14,6 g - 19,5 g - 3,34 µg 167 % 4,72 µg 236 % 2,83 µg 141 % 3,73 µg 187 % Vitamine D 6,26 µg 42 % 7,52 µg 50 % Niacine 4,43 mg 31 %** 8,32 mg 52 %** 4,97 µg 33 % 5,25 µg 35 % 4,03 µg 27 % 4,79 µg 32 % Niacine 4,04 mg 30 %** 4,33 mg 33 %** 6,17 mg 40 %** 6,59 mg 43 %** Vitamine B6 0,47 mg 26 % 0,27 mg 15 % Sélénium 9,5 µg 19 % 9,9 µg 20 % 9,5 µg 19 % 11,2 µg 22 % Thiamine 0,23 mg 18 % 0,25 mg 19 % Phosphore 203 mg 19 % 202 mg 18 % 212 mg 19 % 200 mg 18 % Phosphore 200 mg 18 % 188 mg 17 % Potassium 361 mg 10 % 336 mg 10 % 338 mg 10 % 331 mg 10 % Sélénium 7,5 µg 15 % ND - Magnésium 23 mg 9% 22 mg 9% Calories 89 kcal 112 kcal 104 kcal 127 kcal * % valeur quotidienne ** % VQ calculé à partir des équivalents niacine 52 poissons truite et omble UTILISATION Dos brun cuivré ; corps parsemé de gros points noirs ou oranges entourés d’un anneau plus pâle.

Cette dernière prend des colorations allant du blanc au rose en passant par l’orange vif selon l’espèce et le régime alimentaire des poissons. La truite fut l’un des premiers poissons à être reproduit en captivité. D’abord pratiquée pour fournir la demande des pêcheurs sportifs, la trutticulture a rapidement pris un virage commercial et la truite arc-en-ciel, facile à produire de façon industrielle, domine actuellement le marché. Elle a été introduite dans de nombreux pays, parfois au détriment des espèces locales. 75 g recettes (truite brune, truite fario, truite de rivière, truite de mer, truite de lac) La truite, l’omble et l’ombre sont des poissons de la famille du saumon (salmonidés) qui vivent généralement dans les eaux douces et froides des lacs et des rivières d’Amérique du Nord, d’Europe et d’Asie.

This ancient definition may be quite appropriate for skeletons exhibited in museums, but it doesn’t at all apply to bones that are alive! Without bones, our bodies would be mushy and would collapse. The skeleton is much more than a piece of scaffolding. Its bones also support the organs and protect them. The bones of the skull form a kind of “hard hat” around the brain, while the rib cage shelters the heart and the lungs. With the help of the muscles, many of our bones enable us to move about. And if that’s not enough, our bones even have the job of storing fats and minerals our bodies need, and of producing blood cells, too!

Our bones are made up of cells, minerals, and proteins. The outer layer of bones consists of a hard material called compact bone. After tooth enamel, compact bone is the hardest material in the body.. If we look inside a bone like the femur, however, we discover that the center is made of a lighter material called spongy bone (if you want to know where the femur is located, take a look at my skeleton). If all our bones were made entirely of compact bone, our bodies would be a lot heavier than they are! Here is a diagram showing the principal parts of a bone. S EL lls.
