FAQ
What is the most surprising fact about your body?
We have two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, four limbs, a mouth, a nose, and a penis. That's right, we have more than 50 parts of our bodies, but one thing is missing. A heart.
A heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout the body. The blood moves through the arteries and veins to transport oxygen and nutrients into the cells, and remove carbon dioxide.
Each minute, the heart pumps approximately 5 liters. This is equivalent in daily coffee consumption to an adult who consumes approximately 2 to 3 cups.
Blood flows through the heart 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. While you are sleeping, your heart beats about 100 times per second.
Because of the color and texture of their skin, you can tell if someone is healthy or sick. You can see tiny blood vessels, called capillaries, when you look closely at the skin. These small vessels carry blood from the large blood vessel in the skin back towards the heart. The skin turns blue or violet when blood flow becomes blocked.
People suffering from sickle cell disease have no red blood cells. They become very sick when their blood becomes hardened and sticky.
To stop bleeding from a cut, you can apply a bandage to the wound. Blood must flow in order for the wound to heal properly. Doctors insert a needle into the injured area through the skin. This allows the blood to drain from the injured area.
Doctors may also insert catheters (catheters), in an artery to treat a blood clot. This keeps patients alive until the clot has broken up naturally.
Is there an Hollywood blacklist?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
However, the list isn’t public. We don't know the names. It matters because of this.
The secret reason is that directors and actors who are on the blacklist would not be able to find employment. Thus, they would leave the industry and studios will lose money. It would mean they would reduce their expenditure on movies. That would reduce the opportunities for blacklisted filmmakers. Which would lead them to go bankrupt.
Which could ultimately result in more victims.
If someone attempts to make an Oscar-winning movie, they may be asked to sign a contract stating that they will not speak out against their employers. This applies to any producer or director who wishes to be nominated.
You hear stories of directors being pressured to remove scenes from films. Directors may threaten to quit projects that don’t align with their vision.
This is why there is a Hollywood blacklist. If you make negative comments about your employer, it's likely that you will be unemployed. This is not good news for anyone.
There are many people who have been falsely accused. They have had to fight for their freedom.
This is unacceptable behavior and must be stopped. We need to ensure everyone has the right of expression.
We must get rid of the Hollywood blacklist.
How does your brain control your body's functions?
The brain sends messages to other organs and muscles to ensure they work together. Your brain controls all that happens in your body. It tells your stomach how to digest food and your lungs how to inhale oxygen; it also tells your arms, legs and feet to move.
Your brain is made up billions of nerve cell networks connected in groups known as neurons. Action potentials on Axons are an electrical signal that neurons send to each other. Each neuron has a cell membrane surrounding its nucleus. Channels within the membrane allow ions such potassium and sodium to enter and leave the cells. The electric charge that causes the neuron's fire is created by ion movement.
Neurotransmitters, chemical substances that are released when a neuron fires. Neurotransmitters can bind to receptors at the second neuron. They open ions channels, allowing ions to move in and outside of the channel. This causes the second neuron to fire too.
Neurotransmitter releases occur when a presynaptic neurons receives an input from another neuron. The impulse travels along the synaptic pathway that connects both neurons. The transmitter binds to the receptors on the postsynaptic neural cell, which triggers the firing of that neuron.
Neurotransmitters are important for communication within the nervous system. They also coordinate activity between different brain parts.
What is the most mysterious area on earth?
Antarctica is one of the most mysterious places on Earth.
We find this place so fascinating. Because it is unlike any other spot on Earth.
It is isolated, remote, and very hard to visit. This site has more to it than meets your eye.
These wild animals are also found in this natural wonder.
Let's now see how this amazing destination came to be so well-known for its mystery.
Antarctica: The South Pole
Antarctica is not known by anyone. Some believe it is "land of the ice". Others think it comes from Greek mythology.
Antarktis, the Greek name for the island on which Zeus' twin brothers were conceived, was used in ancient Greece. According to some legends, one of these twins was born in winter. Thus, the term antarctic.
Others believe that the name comes from the Greek words anti meaning against and tropos meaning to turn. This would translate to land that is turned away from the sun.
Whatever the reason, Antarctica has always held a special fascination for people.
It is the highest, coldest, windiest, dryest, and most populated continent. There are no trees, plants, or animals here because it is too cold.
Yet, this frozen wasteland is alive.
About 90 percent of all living things on Earth live here. About 50% of the world's plant and animal species can be found here.
What is the secret to Antarctica's unique environment? Here, water is frozen into ice rather than vaporizing into the air.
This causes large masses to form of ice which float high above the ground.
These floating glaciers cover over 80%. These glaciers are getting larger each year.
Since 1960, the Antarctic ice sheets has grown 60ft.
If the melting goes on, the sea level may rise by as much as 200 feet. This could lead to massive flooding across the globe.
But not everyone thinks this is bad news. Some scientists claim that global warming could be good for us. They say that as temperatures rise, the ice sheets might melt faster, causing floods that flush out tons of toxic chemicals from our soil and bodies.
Others warn that this theory sounds like something out of a science-fiction movie.

How To
American history secret societies and clubs
Many reasons make American History's secret societies and clubs fascinating. They are mysterious because of this. Their impact on our society is another reason.
Secret societies and clubs have been used throughout America's history to promote ideas that would otherwise be considered taboo. Some of these ideas include racism and anti-Semitism. These groups also contributed to the spread of political ideologies, such as communism & socialism.
The Ku Klux Klan was the most famous American group. This group was established in 1865, after the Civil War had ended. It was created to protect white men against African Americans.
Other organizations created during this period included the Knights Templar, Freemasons, and Odd Fellows. These groups had the same goals and beliefs.
Another interesting aspect about secret societies is their ability to restrict memberships to men only. However, these groups had some female members. These women included Emma Goldman, Margaret Sanger, and Susan B Anthony.
The ideals shared by the secret societies mentioned earlier were not shared by all. For example, the Order of Skull & Bones was founded in 1832. Their goal was to create an elite group within the United States.
