FAQ
How does your brain control the functions within your body?
The brain sends messages to other organs and muscles to ensure they work together. Everything in your body is controlled and managed 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 consists of billions of nerve cells connected in groups called neurons. Action potentials on Axons are an electrical signal that neurons send to each other. Each neuron is covered by a cell membrane. There are channels within the membrane that allow ions such a sodium or potassium to enter and exit the cell. Ion movement creates the electric charge that causes the neuron to fire.
When a neuron is activated, neurotransmitters release chemicals into the space between it and the next neuron. Neurotransmitters attach to the receptors of the second neuron and open ions channels for ions to pass in and out. As a result, the second neuron fires too.
Neurotransmitter releases occur when a presynaptic neurons receives an input from another neuron. The impulse travels along an synapse between the neurons. The transmitter binds at the receptors of the post-synaptic Neuron and triggers its firing.
Communication within the nervous system is possible thanks to neurotransmitters. They also coordinate activity between different brain parts.
Five interesting facts about your liver.
The liver is responsible both for breaking down toxins as well as storing vitamins, minerals. It helps to regulate blood pressure and keep our bodies temperature stable.
What number of times have you heard someone say that they feel sluggish or heavy? These symptoms could indicate liver problems.
You may notice symptoms such as dark urine, yellowing skin and fatigue. These aren’t the only warning signs. If you are experiencing any of these signs, it is important to consult your doctor right away.
The liver plays a crucial role in our lives. It plays a role in detoxification, digestion, metabolism, immunity, and reproduction.
-
The average adult human liver weighs approximately 1,400 grams.
-
At birth, a baby's liver is half the size of an adult. It is four times larger by the time an infant turns three.
-
The liver can be found just below the rib cage, on the left side.
-
There are 16 main lobes in the liver, but many smaller lobules are inside the lobes.
-
About 10 million red blood cells are found in the liver.
What is the most interesting fact about the human body?
We have two eyes and two ears, two nostrils each, four limbs, four limbs and a penis. Yes, more than 50 parts to our bodies. But one thing is missing. A heart.
A heart is a pump, which circulates blood throughout our bodies. Blood travels through the arteries and veins, carrying oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removing carbon dioxide and waste products.
Each minute, the heart pumps approximately 5 liters. This amount is equivalent to an adult drinking 2-3 cups of 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.
Because of the color and texture of their skin, you can tell if someone is healthy or sick. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels visible on the skin's surface. These small vessels carry blood away from the large blood vessels in the skin back to the heart. The skin turns purple or blue when there is a blockage in blood flow.
Red blood cells are not available to sickle cell patients. Their blood becomes very sticky and hardened, leading to serious illness.
Bandages are used to stop bleeding after you have cut yourself. For the wound to heal properly, blood must continue to flow. Doctors will insert a needle under the skin to access the vein near the injury. This allows blood to drain from the area.
Doctors may also insert catheters (catheters), in an artery to treat a blood clot. This keeps patients alive until the clot has broken up naturally.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist of actors?
There is an Hollywood blacklist.
The list is not made public. According to our knowledge, the names of these people aren't known. This is why it matters.
The secret reason is that directors and actors who are on the blacklist would not be able to find employment. 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. This could lead to them going bankrupt.
This could lead to 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. This applies to any producer or director who wishes to be nominated.
You hear stories of directors being pressured to remove scenes from films. Directors may threaten to quit projects that don’t align with their vision.
This is why Hollywood keeps a blacklist. You'll likely become unemployed if you say bad things about your employer. That's bad for everyone.
Many people have been wrongly accused. It's been a struggle to get their names cleared.
We need to stop this kind of thing before it starts happening again. We need to ensure everyone has the right of expression.
Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the Hollywood blacklist.
