FAQ
How does the brain regulate the functions of the body?
To ensure that other organs and muscle functions work together, the brain sends messages. 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, which are electrical signals sent by neurons to each other via axons, allow them to communicate with one another. Each neuron is covered by a cell membrane. 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.
Neurotransmitters, chemical substances that are released when a neuron fires. Neurotransmitters attach to the receptors of the second neuron and open ions channels for ions to pass in and out. As a result, second neuron fires as well.
When a presynaptic nerve receives an impulse, neurotransmitter release takes place. An impulse travels along a synaptic link between the two neuron. The transmitter binds with the receptors of the postsynaptic nerve, activating the firing of the postsynaptic neurons.
The nervous system relies on neurotransmitters for communication. They coordinate activity between the different parts of your brain.
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. It's true, we have more 50 parts of our body, but there is one thing missing. A heart.
A heart is the pump that circulates blood throughout a body. Blood travels through the arteries and veins, carrying oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removing carbon dioxide and waste products.
Each minute, the heart pumps approximately 5 liters. This is equivalent of an adult drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee each day.
The heart is constantly pumping blood, 24 hours a week, 365 day a year. Your heart beats nearly 100 times a minute while sleeping.
Because of the color and texture of their skin, you can tell if someone is healthy or sick. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels visible on the skin's surface. These tiny vessels transport blood from the larger blood vessels to the heart. If blood flow is blocked, skin can turn blue or purple.
People with sickle cell disease lack red blood cells. They become very sick when their blood becomes hardened and sticky.
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 insert a needle through the skin into the vein next to the injury. This allows blood flow to the area that has been injured.
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.
What is the most secretive town in the world?
It may surprise you to hear the answer. It could even make you uncomfortable, because it challenges how reality is perceived and lived. But there is an explanation for why this place exists, and it's not what you would expect.
It was called the City of God by ancient Greeks. In the Bible, it was known as the City of Destruction.
It's known in India as Kashi (Kashmir). It's known in Russia as Novgorod.
It is known as The Town That Disappeared in America.
One small New York State town with just 1,200 people vanished. There were no bodies, cars or houses left behind, but a road sign that pointed to the former location was all that was left.
This little community vanished and no trace remains to indicate where or when it disappeared. Some believe the earth swallowed them up. Others claim that a meteorite hit destroyed it. Others claim it was taken away by aliens.
Regardless of what happened, residents of this once-thriving town are certain that their town won't be forgotten forever. They had just moved from one town to the other.
A website is available to track the disappearance and recovery of Zugspitz, which was lost in the Great Depression.
The question is, where did this place go? Well, it's in Switzerland!
Zugspitze lies on the border between Austria and Germany. A huge lake, Lake Zugspitze, is located just beyond the summit.
It has always fascinated my that so many towns have disappeared but others still exist. What is the difference between some towns that disappear and others that survive? I decided to investigate.
I wanted to know more about the mysterious disappearing towns. What causes a town to disappear? How does one place go extinct?
It turns out that there are several theories about the phenomenon of vanishing towns. One theory says that a town disappears when all the buildings are demolished. Another theory suggests that the town simply moves somewhere else. A third theory holds that the town did not exist.
There are many theories, but the truth is that thousands of towns around the world have been submerged by the earth. This video examines the past and present status of these areas.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
However, the list isn’t public. As far as we are aware, the names are not even known. It matters because of this.
The reason for the secrecy is that the blacklisted actors and directors wouldn't be able to find jobs. Thus, they would leave the industry and studios will lose money. This would mean that they would cut back on movie production. That would reduce the opportunities for blacklisted filmmakers. They could go bankrupt.
This could eventually lead to more victims.
A contract may be required to agree to not speak against employers if someone attempts to make an Oscar winning movie. The same goes for any director or producer who wants to get nominated for an award.
That's why you hear stories about how producers pressure directors to remove scenes from their films. Or how directors threaten to walk away from projects that don't fit their vision.
This is why there is a Hollywood blacklist. Negative comments about your employer will most likely lead to you being unemployed. This is bad news for anyone.
Many people have been wrongly accused. They've had the toil to clear their name.
This must be stopped before it happens again. Everybody should be able to freely express themselves.
We need to get rid of Hollywood's blacklist.

Hollywood scandals that shocked the world
There is nothing more shocking than witnessing someone get famous for the wrong reasons. There's nothing more shocking than watching someone fall from grace.
The best part is seeing how an industry reacts to its mistakes. We have all heard of celebrities who overdosed on drugs and alcohol. Some even died young because of it.
But, the worst part? When those stars openly discuss their issues and are ignored by everyone. That's where we found ourselves last week.
Heath Ledger died after a long, successful career. He overdosed on prescription pills, and after a brief battle with death, he passed away.
His friends and family struggled to accept the loss of his son, while the media blasted him openly.
Heath was once considered one of the most talented actors working today. His performance in Brokeback Mountain earned him two Academy Awards nominations.
Heath, in addition to acting, also wrote and directed films such as A Knight's Tale (Monster's Ball) and Iron Man (3).
Hollywood loved Heath. But he was too big for his boots. He began using drugs and drinking heavily. He finally went to rehab, and he was clean.
Now that he was sober, it was time to make amends. So he made a documentary called "Room 237," which chronicled the making of The Shining. It was supposed to be released this year, but now it won't hit theaters until next year.
Heath attempted to get into Hollywood every time. In fact, he was actually twice arrested for drug-related charges.
While we aren't saying Heath shouldn't have been allowed back in the show business, However, it would have been nice if he could have gotten some help before things spiraled out of control.
We hope Heath’s story can be an example to other people who believe they can still have it all.
