What is the most fascinating fact about the human body
We have two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, four limbs, a mouth, a nose, and a penis. You're correct, there are more than 50 parts in our bodies. But, one thing is missing. The heart.
A heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout the body. Blood travels through the arteries and veins, carrying oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removing carbon dioxide and waste products.
The heart pumps about 5 liters blood per minute. This amount is equivalent to an adult drinking 2-3 cups of coffee daily.
The blood flows throughout the heart 24/7, 365 days a calendar. When you're asleep, your heart beats approximately 100 times per hour.
You can tell whether someone is healthy or unhealthy because of the color of their skin. The capillaries are tiny blood vessels that can be seen on the skin's surface. These small vessels carry blood away from the large blood vessels in the skin back to the heart. The skin turns blue or violet when blood flow becomes blocked.
Red blood cells are not available to sickle cell patients. Their blood becomes very sticky and hardened, leading to serious illness.
A bandage can be used to stop bleeding if you have cut your own skin. For wounds to heal properly, blood must flow. To do this, doctors will insert a needle through your skin into the vein adjacent to the injury. This allows blood drainage from the injury area.
Doctors also insert tubes (catheters) into the artery near the site where the blood clot forms. This keeps the patient alive until the clot breaks up naturally.
How does the brain control the functions in your body?
The brain communicates with other organs to ensure their cooperation. The brain controls everything 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 of billions, or neurons, of nerve cells. Neurons communicate by sending electrical signals, called action potentials, on axons. Every neuron has a cell wall around its nucleus. There are channels within the membrane that allow ions such a sodium or potassium to enter and exit the cell. The neuron is lit by an electric charge created by the movement of ions.
Neurotransmitters are chemicals released when a neuron fires. Neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the second neuron, opening ion channels so ions can pass in and out of the channel. This causes the second neuron to fire too.
When a presynaptic nerve receives an impulse, neurotransmitter release takes place. The impulse travels along an synapse between the neurons. The transmitter binds with the receptors of the postsynaptic nerve, activating the firing of the postsynaptic neurons.
For communication within the nervous systems, neurotransmitters are essential. They also help coordinate activity between different parts of the brain.
Have you ever wondered what amount of trash is generated each day worldwide?
The United Nations estimates that the average person generates more than 2.5 pounds of waste each day. This adds up to over 25 million pounds of garbage annually!
Most of the trash ends up at incinerators and landfills. But, what happens to those dumpsters? All that trash ends up being shipped out of country. The rest is dumped abroad, where it pollutes other ecosystems. Now, we know the exact location of all this garbage. His name is Mike Sexton. He is the founder of Waste Watchers. He watches over trucks that transport trash across North America. He then reports back to us on what happens next.
Sexton says he finds his job very satisfying. CNN's Sexton said, "We have a lot to enjoy." "We see big rigs coming through town and we'll follow them. "Sexton started following truck driver almost 20 years back.
"I just fell in love with it," he said.
He loved the story of the driver who pulled into an abandoned gas station near Los Angeles. Sexton recalls, "The guy was searching for somewhere to put his loads." "He drove down the street and saw this building. So he backed up and went inside. "There were two enormous roll-off containers filled with stuff. He took out everything and began to fill up the truck. "Then, he took everything out and started filling up the truck again. There were lots of old tires, rags furniture, mattresses, mattresses, cans, cans, and other items. "It was just a total mess. It had been cleaned up before he arrived. There wasn’t trash everywhere."
So why did this happen? This particular spot used to be a recycling center. People would drive there to recycle their trash. Sexton explained that they would bring household items and take them to the building. Then, after they were done, they would empty the containers.
This can happen hundreds of times a week. It can happen hundreds of time per week. Eventually, the truck is so full of junk it stops running. The owner finally decides to stop using the truck.
Trash is not the only problem our planet faces.
Many of these tiny plastic pieces end up in landfills and incinerators. Some are washed into rivers and oceans. Others end up with fish in their stomachs.
Experts warn that the world may soon face a shortage of food if we don't make any changes. "If we keep going like we're going, we're not going to make it," one expert warned.But even though scientists agree that the world is headed toward disaster, most people don't seem worried.

American history's secret societies and clubs
American History has many secret societies and clubs that are fascinating. Another reason is the mystery that surrounds them. Another reason is their influence on our society.
Secret societies have been used throughout America's history for promoting ideas that would otherwise not be accepted. Some of these ideas include racism and anti-Semitism. These groups also spread ideologies like communism and socialists.
The most famous organization in American history is the Ku Klux Klan. This group was formed in 1865 after the Civil War ended. Its purpose was protect white men against African Americans.
Other organizations created during this period included the Knights Templar, Freemasons, and Odd Fellows. All of these groups shared similar beliefs and goals.
Another interesting aspect about secret societies is their ability to restrict memberships to men only. Some women were members of these secret societies. These women included Emma Goldman, Margaret Sanger, and Susan B Anthony.
Not only the above mentioned groups, but also other secret societies didn't share the same ideals. The Order of Skull & Bones is an example of a secret society that was established in 1832. Their goal was to create an elite group within the United States.
