FAQ
How does your brain control your body's functions?
The brain communicates with other organs to ensure their cooperation. The brain controls everything that happens in your body. 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 of billions, or neurons, of nerve cells. Action potentials are electrical signals that neurons send to one another. Each neuron has its own cell membrane around its nucleus. There are channels within the membrane that allow ions such a sodium or potassium to enter and exit the cell. The neuron fires when there is 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 are able to bind to receptors in the second neuron. This opens ion channels that allow ions to flow in and out. The second neuron also fires.
Neurotransmitter release occurs when the presynaptic neuron receives an impulse from another neuron. The impulse travels along the synaptic pathway that connects both 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 coordinate brain activity among different parts.
These are five interesting facts about livers
The liver is responsible in breaking down toxins, storing vitamins and mineral, and for regulating blood pressure. It also regulates blood pressure, and maintains our body's temperature.
We hear it all the time: "I feel sluggish today" or "my head feels heavy". These symptoms could indicate liver problems.
Some common signs include dark urine, yellowing skin, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, stomach cramps, jaundice (yellow coloration), and itching. But these aren't the only warning signs. These are not the only warning signs. Make an appointment immediately with your doctor if they occur.
The liver, an essential organ, is vital. It plays a role in detoxification, digestion, metabolism, immunity, and reproduction.
-
The average adult liver weighs 1,400g.
-
The size of a baby's liver at birth is approximately half that of an adult. It can grow to four times the size of an infant's liver by the age 3.
-
The liver is located on the left side, just below your rib cage.
-
There are 16 main lobes in the liver, but many smaller lobules are inside the lobes.
-
The liver contains about 10 million individual red blood cells.
What dark secrets can Hollywood keep from you?
Hollywood is full of secret societies. Many secret societies are cult-like and follow rigid rules. Others are just clubs for people with common interests.
There are other nefarious entities that have a significant influence on the industry. These include the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), the organization that sets film ratings and RIAA(Recording Industry Association of America), the company that sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions/guilds also represent actors and directors as well as writers, producers, and so forth. Many of the major TV networks and movie studios are owned or controlled by large corporations.
The point is that no matter how secretive any group may seem, someone somewhere knows exactly what they do. But we don't have to fear them.
Instead, embrace them. Because they give us information that allows us to make better decisions.
These experts tell us which movies are most likely to succeed, which songs will be in demand, and what books will sell the best.
In short, they help us decide what we'll buy, watch, read, and listen to.
We can trust their advice and we can ignore it if it contradicts our values.
We choose to ignore them and they become even more powerful. They become the ultimate arbiters of taste.
And if you don't like what they say, you're free to ignore them.
Let's now take a look into some lesser-known but very real Hollywood secret societies.
You can see why they are so vital.
What is the most fascinating fact about the human body
Two eyes, two ears and two nostrils are part of our bodies. We also have four limbs: a mouth, nose, penis, and four limbs. You're correct, there are more than 50 parts in our bodies. But, one thing is missing. A heart.
The heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout your body. Blood travels through the arteries and veins, carrying oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removing carbon dioxide and waste products.
The heart pumps out approximately 5 liters of blood per minute. This is equivalent to a person drinking 2-3 cups coffee daily.
Blood flows throughout the heart 24 hours per day, 365 Days a 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. 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. If blood flow is blocked, skin can turn blue or purple.
People with sickle cell disease lack red blood cells. They become very sick when their blood becomes hardened and sticky.
To stop bleeding from a cut, you can apply a bandage to the wound. The wound must remain open for blood to flow properly. To do this, doctors will insert a needle through your skin into the vein adjacent to the injury. This allows blood drainage from the injury area.
Doctors can also insert catheters into the artery close to the area where the bloodclot has formed. This keeps patients alive until the clot has broken up naturally.

Hollywood scandals that stunned the world
Nothing is more shocking that seeing someone be famous for their wrong reasons. There's nothing more shocking than watching someone fall from grace.
It's fascinating to see how industries react to their mistakes. We've all heard about celebrities who took too much alcohol and drugs. Some even died young because of it.
But, the worst part? When those stars openly discuss their issues and are ignored by everyone. We found ourselves in that situation last week.
After a long and successful career, Heath Ledger finally succumbed to his demons. After a short battle with death, Heath Ledger succumbed to prescription pills.
His family and friends struggled to accept his passing, and the media had a field day bashing him publicly.
Heath was once considered to be one of today's most talented actors. Two Academy Awards nominations went to Heath for his performance on Brokeback Mountain.
Heath not only acted, but also wrote and directed films including A Knight's Tale. Monster's Ball. 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.
He wanted to make amends now that he was sober. He produced a documentary called Room 237 that documented the making process of The Shining. It was originally scheduled to release this year, but it won’t be available in theaters until next.
Heath tried many times to get back into Hollywood. Nothing worked. Heath was in fact arrested twice on drug charges.
We're not saying Heath should have been allowed back into show business. However, it would be nice if he could get some help before things spiral out of control.
We hope Heath's story will serve as a warning to others who may think they can still have everything.
