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. Neurons communicate by sending electrical signals, called action potentials, on axons. Each neuron has a cell membrane surrounding its nucleus. Inside the membrane are channels that allow ions such as sodium and potassium to enter and leave the cell. The neuron fires when there is ion movement.
When a neuron is activated, neurotransmitters release chemicals into the space between it and the next neuron. Neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the second neuron, opening ion channels so ions can pass in and out 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 to the receptors on the postsynaptic neural cell, which triggers the firing of that neuron.
Communication within the nervous system is possible thanks to neurotransmitters. They also coordinate activity between different brain parts.
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. It's true, we have more 50 parts of our body, but there is one thing missing. The heart.
The heart is a pump which circulates blood throughout the body. The blood travels through the veins and arteries, transporting oxygen and nutrients to cells. It also removes carbon dioxide.
The heart pumps about 5 liters blood per minute. This is equivalent of an adult drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee each day.
The blood flows throughout the heart 24/7, 365 days a calendar. While you sleep, your heart beats almost 100 times per minute.
Because of the color and texture of their skin, you can tell if someone is healthy or sick. The capillaries are tiny blood vessels that can be seen on the skin's surface. These small vessels carry blood from the large blood vessel in the skin back towards the heart. The skin turns blue or violet when blood flow becomes blocked.
People suffering from sickle cell disease have no red blood cells. Patients with sickle cell disease have their blood become sticky and harden, leading to severe illness.
If you cut yourself, a bandage is applied to stop the bleeding. The wound must remain open for blood to flow properly. Doctors insert a needle into the injured area through the skin. This allows the blood from the injured area to drain.
The doctor may also insert catheters (catheters), into the artery at the site of the blood clot. This keeps the patient alive until the clot breaks up naturally.
Why do actors get blacklisted?
If you are an actor, you will get more rejection than if you are a writer. You will likely be rejected many times if you are an actor. It doesn't matter, because you will eventually find someone you love.
Actors have a lot of talent, so they can make a decent living almost anywhere. Actors don't really care about making money. They love acting, and they love telling stories. You'll be an actor if you love acting.
Sometimes, auditions are cancelled because you are either too young or too old for the job. You might also lose your audition for a film role. It happens all the times.
You may be criticised once your casting is complete. People will tell you that you look terrible or shouldn't be wearing makeup. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes you'll be criticized because you're playing a character that isn't realistic or authentic. You could be a gay actor and everyone assumes you are straight. You might play a tough woman, but she is very emotional.
You might be asked to change the sound of your voice. Sometimes, they will ask you to sound more like a woman or a man. They usually want you sound better.
It is best to ignore these criticisms. Actors often feel like they've failed if they're told they did something wrong. They haven't done any wrong.
They were not born with the talent that would make them famous. They may not fit the bill sometimes, no mater how hard they try.
An actor can be blacklisted for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others think actors can be lazy. Some actors may be cheaters.
Whatever your reason, it doesn't matter. You won't get blacklisted for trying. There are many jobs out there and you'll be able to find them.
You will eventually succeed if you keep trying.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist?
There is an Hollywood blacklist.
The list is not made public. As far as we are aware, the names are not even known. Here's why this matters.
The secret is because the directors and actors on blacklist wouldn't have any job opportunities. So they'd go out of business, which means that the studios would lose money. This would mean that they would cut back on movie production. The blacklisted filmmakers would have fewer chances. They could go bankrupt.
This could 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. For any producer or director that wants to be nominated, the same applies.
Producers often pressure directors to cut scenes from their films. Directors might threaten to leave projects that don't reflect their vision.
This is why Hollywood has created a blacklist. If you are negative about your employer, you'll most likely go unemployed. This is not good news for anyone.
There are many people who have been falsely accused. They've had the toil to clear their name.
We need to stop this kind of thing before it starts happening again. Everyone should have the right to speak freely.
So we need to take down the Hollywood blacklist.

Hollywood scandals that shocked all of the world
Nothing is more shocking that seeing someone be famous for their wrong reasons. But there's also nothing worse than seeing them fall from grace.
It's amazing to see how the industry responds to their mistakes. We've all heard stories of celebrities who used drugs and alcohol excessively. Some even died young because of it.
But the worst part is when those same stars go public with their problems and are shunned by everyone. Last week, that's exactly where we were.
Heath Ledger gave up after a long career that was successful. He died after succumbing to prescription drugs.
His family and friends struggled to accept his passing, and the media had a field day bashing him publicly.
Heath was once considered one of the most talented actors working today. Two Academy Awards nominations were given to Heath for his role in Brokeback Mountain.
Heath did more than act. He also directed films including A Knight's Tale. Monster's Ball and Iron Man.
Hollywood loved Heath, but he became too big for his britches. He began to drink heavily and took drugs. He ended up in rehab and became 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 hit theaters this year. However, it won't until next year.
Every time Heath tried to get back into Hollywood, something happened. In fact, he was arrested twice on drug charges.
We don't believe Heath should have been allowed to go back into the entertainment industry. It would have been nice, however, if he had received some help before things got out of control.
We hope Heath's story will serve as a warning to others who may think they can still have everything.
