You're listening to Sleep Tight Science. Did you know that there is a fish that can climb trees?

What?

It's true, and it's called the climbing perch.

Wow!

Now, you might want to know how can a fish climb a tree?

Hmm?

This fish has a unique adaptation that allows it to breathe air.

When the water level in its habitat gets too low, it can use its fins to wiggle its way up a tree trunk and find a new water source.

Hello friends and welcome back to Sleep Tight Science, a bedtime show that answers your questions about science.

In this episode, we are going to try something different.

Instead of following a specific topic, we will spend all our time answering questions that

listeners have sent us.

There have been so many questions that we decided to create a special episode to answer them.

If you like this kind of episode, let us know, and we will create more in addition to the regular episodes that we already produce.

Now, let's start with a question submitted to us by Amiss,

who asked us, why do bodies move move and why do they sense so much?

Well, Amiss, it all comes down to the amazing complexity of our biology.

First, movement in the body is accomplished through a complex relationship of different biological systems, including the muscular, skeletal, and nervous systems.

The muscular system consists of different kinds of muscles, including skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles that work together to allow us to move our body parts.

Skeletal muscles, which are attached to bones, allow us to move our limbs and perform activities like walking, running, and jumping.

Smooth muscles found in the walls of organs, like the stomach and intestines, help with involuntary

movements like digestion. And the cardiac muscle is responsible for the heart's contraction
