FAQ
How does your brain control your body's functions?
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 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, which are electrical signals sent by neurons to each other via axons, allow them to communicate with one another. Every neuron has an outer cell membrane that surrounds its nucleus. Inside the membrane are channels that allow ions such as sodium and potassium to enter and leave the cell. 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 bind with receptors on the second nerve cell, opening ion channel channels to allow ions in and out. As a result, second neuron fires as well.
Neurotransmitter production occurs when a neuron in the presynaptic receives an impulsive signal from another. The impulse travels along the synapse connecting the two 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 also help coordinate activity between different parts of the brain.
What is the most surprising fact about your body?
Two eyes, two ears, 2 nostrils, 4 limbs, 1 nose, 1 penis and one mouth are all there. We have over 50 parts of our bodies. However, one thing is missing. A heart.
A heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout the body. The blood flows through the veins and arteries to carry oxygen and nutrients to the cells.
The heart pumps out about 5 liters per minute. This is equivalent of an adult drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee each day.
Blood flows throughout the heart 24 hours per day, 365 Days a Year. Your heart beats nearly 100 times a minute while sleeping.
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 vessels carry blood away to the heart via the large blood vessels. If blood flow is blocked, skin can turn blue or purple.
Red blood cells are missing in people with sickle-cell disease. They become very sick when their blood becomes hardened and sticky.
Bandages are used to stop bleeding after you have cut yourself. For the wound to heal properly, blood must continue to flow. Doctors place a needle in the wound and insert it 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 the patient alive until the clot breaks up naturally.
What is the most mysterious location on Earth?
Antarctica is home to the most mysterious and remote place on Earth.
We find this place so fascinating. Because it is unlike anything else on Earth.
It is remote, isolated, and extremely difficult to visit. There is much more to this place than meets the eyes.
Some of the most bizarre wildlife species can also be found in this natural wonder.
So let's explore how this remarkable destination became famous for its mystery.
Antarctica: The South Pole
Antarctica is named for no one. Some believe it means "land of ice." Some believe it means "land of ice". Others believe it is Greek mythology.
Antarktis was an ancient Greek name that was given to the island where Zeus and his twin brothers, Zeus. One of the twins was said to have been born in winter. Thus, the term antarctic.
Others think the name came from the Greek words anti, meaning against, and tropos meaning turn. This would translate to land that is turned away from the sun.
No matter the reason, Antarctica is a place that has always fascinated people.
It is the continent with the lowest, windiest and highest temperatures. There are no trees, plants, or animals here because it is too cold.
And yet, this frozen wasteland is teeming with life.
Here are about 90% of all the living creatures on Earth. You can find approximately half the world's species of animal and plant plants here.
What is Antarctica? Here water freezes to ice and not evaporates into the atmosphere.
This results in large masses of ice floating above the ground.
These glaciers cover more than 80% of the continent. They're getting bigger every year.
The Antarctic Ice Sheet has grown 60 feet in the past 60 years.
The sea level could rise to 200 feet if the melting continues. This could lead worldwide flooding.
This is not necessarily bad news. Some scientists claim that global warming could be good for us. They claim that the melting of ice sheets could accelerate as temperatures rise. This would lead to flooding that removes tons of toxic chemicals and soil from our bodies.
Others cautioned that this theory sounds too science fiction.
What is the most secretive place in the world, and why?
The answer to that question may shock you. It might even make you uncomfortable because it challenges our perception of reality and how we live. But there is a reason why this place exists. And it is not what you would expect.
It was called the City of God by ancient Greeks. It was also called the City of Destruction in the Bible.
It's known in India as Kashi (Kashmir). It is also called Novgorod in Russia.
It's called The Town That Has Disappeared here in America.
A small town in western New York State, with a population of 1,200, vanished without a trace. It was abandoned without any remains, including no bodies, cars, or houses. The only thing that survived was a road sign, which pointed to its former location.
This little town disappeared, leaving no clues about where it went or when. Some say it was swallowed up by the Earth. Others claim a meteorite strike destroyed it. Some claim that it was destroyed by a meteorite strike. Others still believe it was stolen away by aliens.
The people of this once-thriving community, however, are positive that the town won't disappear forever. They had just moved to a new town.
There's even a website that tracks the disappearances and recoveries of Zugspitz.
Then, where is it? It's in Switzerland.
You can find Zugspitze at the border of Austria and Germany. Lake Zugspitze can be found just beyond the summit.
I have always been fascinated by the fact that so many towns have vanished, but some remain. Why is it that some disappear while others live on? I set out to find out.
I wanted to know more about the mysterious disappearing towns. Is it possible for a place to vanish? How can a town disappear from existence?
It turned out that there are many theories about disappearing towns. One theory holds that a town disappears if all its buildings are demolished. Another theory says that the town just moves. A third theory claims that the town never existed at all.
There are many theories, but the truth is that thousands of towns around the world have been submerged by the earth. This video looks into the history of those places and investigates their current status.
