FAQ
What is the most interesting fact about the human body?
There are two eyes, two ears. Two nostrils. Four limbs. A mouth, nose and penis. Yes, more than 50 parts to our bodies. But 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 about 5 liters blood per minute. This is equivalent to a person drinking 2-3 cups coffee daily.
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.
The color of someone's skin can tell if they are healthy or not. If you examine the skin closely, you will see tiny blood vessels called capillaries. These tiny vessels transport blood from the larger blood vessels to the heart. 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. They become very sick when their blood becomes hardened and sticky.
You can use a bandage to stop bleeding if your cut is severe. For the wound to heal properly, blood must continue to flow. Doctors insert a needle into the injured area through the skin. This allows blood to drain from the area.
The doctor may also insert catheters (catheters), into the artery at the site of the blood clot. This helps to keep the patient alive until the blood clot disintegrates naturally.

How does your brain control your body's functions?
To ensure that they work together, messages are sent by the brain to other organs. Your brain controls all that happens in your body. It tells both your stomach and lungs what to do; it also controls your legs and arms.
Your brain is made of billions, or neurons, of nerve cells. Action potentials on Axons are an electrical signal that neurons send to each other. 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 electric charge that causes the neuron's fire is created by ion movement.
Neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that release neurotransmitters when a neuron fires up, can be found in the space between the neurons and the next one. Neurotransmitters can bind to receptors at the second neuron. They open ions channels, allowing ions to move in and outside of the channel. The second neuron also fires.
Neurotransmitter releases occur when a presynaptic neurons receives an input from another neuron. 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 also help coordinate activity between different parts of the brain.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist of actors?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
However, the list isn’t public. As far as we know, the names aren't even known. But here's why it matters.
The secretive nature of the information is due to the fact that actors and directors on blacklist won't be in a position to find work. Thus, they would leave the industry and studios will lose money. They would also cut back on their spending on movies. The blacklisted filmmakers would have fewer chances. Which would lead them to go bankrupt.
This could eventually lead to more victims.
When someone tries making an Oscar winning movie they might be asked for a contract. This means that they can't publicly criticize their employer. This applies to any producer or director who wishes to be nominated.
That's why you hear stories about how producers pressure directors to remove scenes from their films. Directors threaten to abandon projects that don’t conform to their vision.
This is the reason there is a Hollywood blacklist. Negative comments about your employer will most likely lead to you being unemployed. This is bad news for anyone.
There are many people who have been falsely accused. It's been a struggle to get their names cleared.
This must be stopped before it happens again. We need to ensure everyone has the right of expression.
So we need to take down the Hollywood blacklist.
