The legislation authorized Medicine Chest be carried on every American Flag vessel of more than 150 tons back in the 1700's, so long as it had a crew of ten or more. A loose network of marine hospitals, primarily in port cities, was established by Congress to care for disabled and sick American merchant seamen around 1798. Federal entities, namely, the Marine Hospital Service, the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service, and lastly the Public Health Service continued to give healthcare to merchant seamen until 1981. The Medical Aid at Sea and Ship's Medicine Chest has been a part of much of this maritime history.

Rina8888 [55]

The researchers will use mice instead of opossums or humans to determine whether the cells of the ear bones originated from the same embryonic cells as the cells that form the jaw in other vertebrates because in this type of experiment, organisms that are ideal are the ones that have a short life span, easy to be researched on and easy to mantain.

It will be very tedious and demanding to use opossums and humans in this type of practical experiment because,it is against the culture and norms guilding human living and existence to use humans as model organisms,opossums as well are very bad model organisms because unlike the mice,opossums are long lived and it will be very difficult to raise and maintain an opossum in a laboratory.

Humans and mice are both mammals just that human is a higher mammal but they share similar features in terms of pattern of development,though there is a clear difference during their early development,so because of the common ancestry shared by the mice and humans,the result of the experiment on the mice with share a close similarity with the pattern that is expected in humans.
