FAQ
How does your brain control your body's functions?
The brain communicates with other organs to ensure their cooperation. Your brain controls all that happens in your body. It tells the stomach to digest food, and the lungs to breath air. It also tells your legs and arms to move.
Your brain is made up billions of nerve cell networks connected in groups known as neurons. Neurons communicate with each other by sending electrical signals called action potentials on axons. Each neuron has its own cell membrane around its nucleus. The cell membrane houses channels that allow ions, such as potassium and sodium, to enter and exit the cells. Ion movement is what causes the neurons to fire.
When a neuron fires, chemicals called neurotransmitters are released into the space between the neuron and the next neuron. Neurotransmitters bind with receptors on the second nerve cell, opening ion channel channels to allow ions in and out. This causes the second neuron to fire too.
When a presynaptic nerve receives an impulse, neurotransmitter release takes place. An impulse travels along a synapse that connects the two neurons. The transmitter binds at the receptors of the post-synaptic Neuron and triggers its firing.
Neurotransmitters are important for communication within the nervous system. They coordinate activity between the different parts of your brain.
What is the most interesting fact about the human body?
We have two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, four limbs, a mouth, a nose, and a penis. We have over 50 parts of our bodies. However, one thing is missing. A heart.
A heart is the pump that circulates blood throughout a body. The blood flows through the veins and arteries to carry oxygen and nutrients to the cells.
Each minute, the heart pumps approximately 5 liters. This is equivalent to an adult consuming 2-3 cups of coffee per day.
The blood flows throughout the heart 24/7, 365 days a calendar. While you sleep, your heart beats almost 100 times per minute.
Color of your skin is a good indicator of whether someone is healthy. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels visible on the skin's surface. These vessels carry blood back to the heart from the large blood vessels beneath the skin. The skin turns purple or blue when there is a blockage in blood flow.
People suffering from sickle cell disease have no red blood cells. Their blood becomes very sticky and hardened, leading to serious illness.
If you cut yourself, a bandage is applied to stop the bleeding. Blood must continue to flow to allow the wounds to heal properly. Doctors place a needle in the wound and insert it through the skin. This allows blood drainage from the injury area.
The doctor may also insert catheters (catheters), into the artery at the site of the blood clot. This keeps patients alive until the clot has broken up naturally.
Which is the most secretive city in the world?
This question might surprise you. It may even make it uncomfortable, as it challenges our perceptions of reality and our lives. There is a reason this place exists and it's not as you might expect.
It was known as the City of God to the ancient Greeks. It was called the City of Destruction by the Bible.
It's known in India as Kashi (Kashmir). It's known in Russia as Novgorod.
Here in America, however, it is called The Village That Disappeared.
A small town in western New York State, with a population of 1,200, vanished without a trace. With the exception of a road marker pointing to its former site, there were no remains: cars, bodies, houses.
The little village vanished, with no trace of its existence. Some claim the earth swallowed it. Others claim a meteorite strike destroyed it. Some believe that it was taken by aliens.
Despite what may have happened, the people who lived in this once-thriving area are confident that their town will not be lost forever. They had just moved to a new town.
There is even a website dedicated to tracking the disappearance of the lost city of Zugspitz.
The question is, where did this place go? It's in Switzerland.
The border of Austria and Germany is at Zugspitze. Lake Zugspitze lies just above the summit of the mountain.
I have always been fascinated by the fact that so many towns have vanished, but some remain. Why do some disappear while others survive? I set out to find out.
I was curious about the disappearing towns. What is the secret to a town's disappearance? How can a town disappear from existence?
There are many theories regarding the phenomenon of towns disappearing. One theory says that a town disappears when all the buildings are demolished. Another theory holds that the town simply relocates to another location. The third theory is that the town was never actually there.
The fact is that hundreds of towns all over the world have been swept away by the ground, despite theories to the contrary. This video looks into the history of those places and investigates their current status.
Is there any Hollywood blacklist for actors?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
The list is not made public. We don't know the names. It matters because of this.
The secret is because the directors and actors on blacklist wouldn't have any job opportunities. The studios would be out of business as they lose money. It would mean they would reduce their expenditure on movies. The blacklisted filmmakers would have fewer chances. They would then go bankrupt.
This could mean more victims.
In short, when someone tries to make an oscar winning movie, they might be asked to sign a contract saying they won't speak publicly against their employers. This applies to any producer or director who wishes to be nominated.
This is why you'll hear about directors being pressured by producers to take scenes out of their films. Directors threaten to abandon projects that don’t conform to their vision.
This is why Hollywood has a 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 have had to fight for their freedom.
This is unacceptable behavior and must be stopped. Everybody should be able to freely express themselves.
So we need to take down the Hollywood blacklist.
