FAQ
How does your brain control the functions within your body?
To ensure that other organs and muscle functions work together, the brain sends messages. Your body's functions are controlled by your brain. It tells you your stomach to digest food; your lungs to inhale air; and it tells you your arms and legs how to move.
Your brain is made up of billions upon billions of nerve cells that are connected together in groups called neuronal groups. 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. There are channels within the membrane that allow ions such a sodium or potassium to enter and exit the cell. Ion movement is what causes the neurons to fire.
Neurotransmitters are chemicals released when a neuron fires. Neurotransmitters can bind to receptors at the second neuron. They open ions channels, allowing ions to move in and outside of the channel. As a result, second neuron fires as well.
When another neuron sends an impulse to the presynaptic neural cell, neurotransmitter is released. The impulse travels along an synapse between the neurons. The transmitter binds directly to the receptors in the postsynaptic nervous neuron, and triggers the firing.
The nervous system relies on neurotransmitters for communication. They also coordinate activity between different brain parts.
Five interesting facts about your liver.
The liver is responsible of breaking down toxins and storing nutrients. It helps maintain a steady body temperature and regulates blood pressure.
Is it not often that we hear people say "I feel sluggish today" and "my head feels heavier?" These symptoms could indicate problems with your liver.
Some common signs include dark urine, yellowing skin, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, stomach cramps, jaundice (yellow coloration), and itching. These aren't all warning signs. If you are experiencing any of these signs, it is important to consult your doctor right away.
The liver, an essential organ, is vital. It is responsible for detoxification as well digestion, metabolism and immunity.
-
The average adult liver weights about 1,400g.
-
The liver of a baby is roughly half the size that of an adult at birth. It is four times larger by the time an infant turns three.
-
The liver is located on the left side, just below your rib cage.
-
There are 16 major lobes of the liver. But there are also many smaller ones.
-
The liver contains about 10 million individual red blood cells.
What is your most secretive community?
You might be surprised at the answer. It may even make it uncomfortable, as it challenges our perceptions of reality and our lives. But there is a reason that this place exists. It isn't what you would expect.
The City of God was its name by the ancient Greeks. According to the Bible, it was called the City of Destruction.
It's known in India as Kashi (Kashmir). It's also known as Novgorod in Russia.
It is known as The Town That Disappeared in America.
One small community in western New York State with 1,200 residents vanished without a trace. 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 claim the earth swallowed it. Others claim a meteorite strike destroyed it. Still, others say aliens took it away.
Whatever happened, the residents of this once-thriving community are convinced that their town isn't gone forever. They had just relocated to another town.
Even a website exists to help track down the disappearances of the lost city Zugspitz.
Then, where is it? It's in Switzerland, actually!
The border of Austria and Germany is at Zugspitze. 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. Why do some disappear while others survive? I decided to investigate.
I was interested in learning more about these mysterious towns that are disappearing. What is the secret to a town's disappearance? How does one place go extinct?
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 holds that the town simply relocates to another location. A third theory claims that the town never existed at all.
Theories aside, the fact remains that dozens of towns around the globe have been swallowed up by the ground. This video examines the past and present status of these areas.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist.
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
The list is not made public. The names are not known to us. But here's why it matters.
The reason for the secrecy is that the blacklisted actors and directors wouldn't be able to find jobs. So they'd go out of business, which means that the studios would lose money. Which means they'd cut back on spending money on movies. This would result in fewer opportunities available for blacklisted filmmakers. They would then go bankrupt.
This could result in even more victims.
In other words, if someone is trying to make an Oscar winning movie, they might have to sign a contract that says they won't speak openly against their employers. Any director or producer who would like to be nominated for an award is subject to the same rules.
It's no surprise that directors are often forced to take out scenes in their films by producers. Or directors threaten to walk out of projects that don’t match their vision.
This is why Hollywood has a blacklist. If you are negative about your employer, you'll most likely go unemployed. This is not good news for anyone.
Problem is, many people have been falsely charged. These people have had to fight to clear their names.
This is unacceptable behavior and must be stopped. Everybody should be able to freely express themselves.
Also, we must take down the Hollywood blacklist.

Hollywood scandals that shocked all of the world
It's shocking to see someone make a name for themselves. But there's also nothing worse than seeing them fall from grace.
The best thing about watching how an industry reacts when it makes mistakes is the best part. We have all heard of celebrities who overdosed on drugs and alcohol. Some even died young because of it.
The worst thing is when these stars are made public about their problems and shunned. We were there last week.
Heath Ledger gave up after a long career that was successful. He overdosed on prescription pills, and after a brief battle with death, he passed away.
His family and friends were unable to accept his death, and the media was quick to criticize him.
Heath was once thought to be one the greatest actors of all time. Two Academy Awards nominations were given to Heath for his role in Brokeback Mountain.
In addition to acting, Heath also wrote and directed films, including A Knight's Tale, Monster's Ball, and Iron Man 3.
Hollywood loved Heath. However, he quickly grew too large. He began to drink heavily and took drugs. He was eventually able to get clean and went to rehab.
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 tried unsuccessfully to get into Hollywood again, but nothing happened. In fact, Heath was twice arrested on drug charges.
We don't believe Heath should have been allowed to go back into the entertainment industry. However, it would have been nice if he could have gotten some help before things spiraled out of control.
We hope Heath's story will serve as a warning to others who may think they can still have everything.
