FAQ
What is the most interesting fact about the human body?
Two eyes, two ears, 2 nostrils, 4 limbs, 1 nose, 1 penis and one mouth are all there. You're correct, there are more than 50 parts in our bodies. But, one thing is missing. A heart.
A heart is the pump that circulates blood throughout a body. The blood travels through the veins and arteries, transporting oxygen and nutrients to cells. It also removes carbon dioxide.
The heart pumps out approximately 5 liters of blood per minute. This is equivalent to an adult consuming 2-3 cups of coffee per day.
The heart pumps blood 24 hours a days, 365 days per year. While sleeping, your heart beats close to 100 times per minute.
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. When blood flow is blocked, the skin turns blue or purple.
People with sickle cells lack red blood cell. Their blood becomes sticky and hardens, causing them to become very ill.
If you cut yourself, a bandage is applied to stop the bleeding. The wound must remain open for blood to flow properly. Doctors will insert a needle under the skin to access the vein near the injury. This allows the blood to drain from the injured area.
A doctor can also insert tubes (catheters), into an artery in the vicinity of where blood clots form. This keeps the patient alive till the blood clot dissolves naturally.
What is the most secretive location in the entire world?
The answer to that question may shock you. This may make you feel uncomfortable as it challenges your perception of reality and the way we live. But there is a reason why this place exists. And it is not what you would expect.
It was called the City of God by ancient Greeks. It was called the City of Destruction by the Bible.
In India, it's called Kashi (Kashmir). In Russia, it's called Novgorod.
But here in America, it goes by another name - The Town That Disappeared.
One tiny town in western New York State lost its 1,200 inhabitants without trace. With the exception of a road marker pointing to its former site, there were no remains: cars, bodies, houses.
This little community vanished and no trace remains to indicate where or when it disappeared. Some believe it was swallowed by the earth. Others believe it was destroyed by a meteorite. Some believe that it was taken 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.
Even a website exists to help track down the disappearances of the lost city Zugspitz.
So, where exactly did this town go? 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. Why do some disappear while others survive? I decided to investigate.
I wanted more information about the mysterious disappearing of towns. What causes a town to disappear? What makes a place disappear?
It turns out that there are several theories about the phenomenon of vanishing towns. One theory is that a city disappears after all buildings have been demolished. Another theory says that the town just moves. A third theory holds that the town did not exist.
No matter what theories you may have, there is no doubt that many towns across the globe were swallowed by the ground. This video examines both the history and current status.
How does the brain regulate the functions of the body?
The brain communicates with other organs to ensure their cooperation. Your body's functions are controlled by your brain. It tells your stomach to digest food and your lungs to breathe air; it tells your arms and legs to move.
Your brain is made of billions, or neurons, of nerve cells. Action potentials, which are electrical signals sent by neurons to each other via axons, allow them to communicate with one another. Every neuron has a cell wall around its nucleus. The membrane contains channels that allow ions like sodium and potassium to enter the cell and leave it. Ion movement is what causes the neurons to fire.
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. This causes the second neuron to fire too.
When a presynaptic nerve receives an impulse, neurotransmitter release takes place. The impulse travels along the synapse connecting the two neurons. The transmitter binds to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, triggering the firing of the postsynaptic neuron.
They are vital for the communication between nerve cells. They also coordinate activity between different brain parts.
Why do actors get blacklisted?
When you're an actor, there's more rejection than when you're a writer. An actor will probably be rejected quite often. You will find someone who loves and accepts you eventually.
Actors can often make a living from acting because they are very talented. Actors aren't always interested in making a living. Actors love to act and tell stories. It's likely that you will be acting if your passion is acting.
Even worse, you might be told you are too young or too old to play the part. Sometimes, you may lose an audition for a movie. It happens all too often.
After you've been cast, there may be criticism. Many people will tell you you look horrible or that you shouldn't be wearing make-up. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes, your performance as a fictional character can be ridiculed. Perhaps you play a homosexual man and everyone thinks that you're straight. You might play a tough woman, but she is very emotional.
Or maybe you're asked to change your voice. Sometimes they ask for you to sound like a male or female. They will usually ask you to sound better.
It is best to ignore these criticisms. Actors sometimes feel like failures when they hear they were wrong. The truth is they haven’t done anything wrong.
They didn't have the talent to 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 feel that actors are lazy. Still, others say that actors are cheaters.
It doesn't matter what reason it may be, you won’t be banned if you keep trying. There are plenty of roles out there, and you'll find them.
If you persevere, you will eventually succeed.
