What is the most fascinating fact about the human body
Two eyes, two ears and two nostrils are part of our bodies. We also have four limbs: a mouth, nose, penis, and four limbs. It's true, we have more 50 parts of our body, but there is one thing 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 to an adult consuming 2-3 cups of coffee per day.
The heart is constantly pumping blood, 24 hours a week, 365 day a year. When you're asleep, your heart beats approximately 100 times per hour.
Skin color can be used to determine if someone has a medical condition. Looking closely at the skin's surface, you can see tiny blood vessels called capillaries. These small vessels carry blood away from the large blood vessels in the skin back to the heart. When blood flow is blocked, the skin turns blue or purple.
People with sickle cells lack red blood cell. Their blood becomes sticky and hardens, causing them to become very ill.
A bandage can be used to stop bleeding if you have cut your own skin. The wound must remain open for blood to flow properly. To do this, doctors will insert a needle through your skin into the vein adjacent to the injury. This allows the blood from the injured area to drain.
Doctors may also insert catheters (catheters), in an artery to treat a blood clot. This keeps the patient alive till the blood clot dissolves naturally.
How does the brain regulate the functions of the body?
The brain relays messages to other parts of the body to ensure their functionality. Your body's functions are controlled by your brain. It tells both your stomach and lungs what to do; it also controls your legs and arms.
Your brain consists of billions of nerve cells connected in groups called neurons. Action potentials on Axons are an electrical signal that neurons send to each other. Each neuron is covered by a cell membrane. The membrane contains channels that allow ions like sodium and potassium to enter the cell and leave it. The neuron is lit by an electric charge created by the movement of ions.
When a neuron is activated, neurotransmitters release chemicals into the space between it and the next neuron. Neurotransmitters are able to bind to receptors in the second neuron. This opens ion channels that allow ions to flow in and out. This causes the second neuron to fire too.
Neurotransmitter release occurs when the presynaptic neuron receives an impulse from another neuron. The impulse travels along an synapse between the neurons. The transmitter binds directly to the receptors in the postsynaptic nervous neuron, and triggers the firing.
For communication within the nervous systems, neurotransmitters are essential. They are also responsible for coordinating activity between various parts of the brain.
What are 5 interesting facts about the liver?
The liver is responsible both for breaking down toxins as well as storing vitamins, minerals. It also regulates blood pressure, and maintains our body's temperature.
We hear it all the time: "I feel sluggish today" or "my head feels heavy". These symptoms could indicate liver problems.
Common signs include yellowing skin, dark urine, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, weight loss, stomach cramps (yellow coloration), itching, and jaundice (yellow colouration). These aren’t the only warning signs. These are not the only warning signs. Make an appointment immediately with your doctor if they occur.
The liver, an essential organ, is vital. It plays a role in detoxification, digestion, metabolism, immunity, and reproduction.
-
The average adult liver weighs 1,400g.
-
The size of a baby's liver at birth is approximately half that of an adult. It becomes about four times more large by the age of three than an infant's liver.
-
The liver is located just below the rib cage on the left side of the abdomen.
-
The liver is divided into 16 major lobes. However, there are many smaller lobules that are within these lobes.
-
The liver contains about 10 million individual red blood cells.
What dark secrets can Hollywood keep from you?
Hollywood is full of secret societies. Some are cult-like groups where members follow strict rules and rituals, while others are simply clubs for those who share common interests.
However, there are many other criminal organizations that hold much of the industry's power. Companies such as the MPAA, which determines film ratings, or the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), that set music licensing fees, are examples of these.
Numerous unions or guilds also represent producers, writers, actors, etc. Large corporations own most major studios and networks of television.
The fact is that regardless of how secretive any group may be, someone somewhere knows exactly who they are. We shouldn't fear these people.
Instead, we should embrace and celebrate them. Because they provide us with information that helps us make better decisions.
They can tell us which movies and songs are likely to be successful, as well as what books and novels will be most popular.
These help us to decide what we'll watch, read, listen, and buy.
Because we can trust them, we can ignore their advice when it conflicts with our tastes.
And because we've chosen to ignore them, they become even more powerful. They become the ultimate arbiters of taste.
You are free to ignore their messages if that bothers you.
Let's now take a look into some lesser-known but very real Hollywood secret societies.
You can see why they are so vital.

Hollywood scandals that stunned the world
Nothing is more shocking that seeing someone be famous for their wrong reasons. However, there is nothing worse than watching them fall from grace.
The best thing about watching how an industry reacts when it makes mistakes is the best part. We've all heard about celebrities who took too much alcohol and drugs. Some even died young because of it.
It's worse when stars make public their problems, and then are ignored by everyone. That's where we found ourselves last week.
Heath Ledger died after a long, successful career. He succumbed after taking too many prescription medications. After a brief struggle with death, he died.
His family and his friends struggled with the news and the media went after him.
Heath was once considered one of the most talented actors working today. Two Academy Awards nominations were given to Heath for his role in Brokeback Mountain.
Heath was not only an actor, but also directed and wrote films like A Knight's Tale and Monster's Ball.
Hollywood loved Heath. But he was too big for his boots. He became addicted to drugs and drank heavily. He was eventually able to get clean and went to rehab.
After he had gotten sober, he decided to make amends. He then made "Room 237," a documentary that chronicled The Shining's making. It was supposed to hit theaters this year. However, it won't until next year.
Heath tried many times to get back into Hollywood. Nothing worked. In fact, he was arrested twice on drug charges.
We don't believe Heath should have been allowed to go back into the entertainment industry. It would have been nice for him to have received some assistance before things spiraled outof control.
We hope Heath’s story serves as a cautionary tale for others who think they might still be able to have it all.
