FAQ
How does the brain control the functions in your body?
The brain relays messages to other parts of the body to ensure their functionality. Everything that happens within your body is controlled by the 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 composed of billions and billions 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. The cell membrane houses channels that allow ions, such as potassium and sodium, to enter and exit the cells. The neuron is lit by an electric charge created by the movement of ions.
Neurotransmitters are chemicals released when a neuron fires. 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.
When a presynaptic nerve receives an impulse, neurotransmitter release takes place. An impulse travels along a synapse that connects the two neurons. The transmitter binds to the receptors on the postsynaptic neural cell, which triggers the firing of that neuron.
Neurotransmitters are important for communication within the nervous system. They also coordinate activity between different brain parts.
Why do actors end up on the blacklist?
When you're an actor, there's more rejection than when you're a writer. If you're an actor, you'll probably get rejected a lot. 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. Most actors don't care about making money. Actors enjoy acting and telling stories. So if you're an actor, chances are you're going to put yourself out there.
Sometimes you may be told by the audition panel that you are too young, too old, or wrong for the role. Sometimes, you may lose an audition for a movie. It happens all too often.
You may be criticised once your casting is complete. Some people will say that you look awful or shouldn't wear makeup. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes, you might be criticised for playing a role that isn’t authentic or realistic. Perhaps you play a homosexual man and everyone thinks that you're straight. You might play a tough woman, but she is very emotional.
Maybe you are asked to change your vocal chords. Sometimes, they will ask you to sound more like a woman or a man. They usually want you sound better.
To ignore criticisms is the best way to respond. Actors often feel that they've failed if they are told they did something wrong. But they're not guilty of anything.
They didn't have the talent to make them famous. They may not fit the bill sometimes, no mater how hard they try.
There are many reasons an actor might be blacklisted. Some people don't like actors. Others believe actors are lazy. Others believe actors cheat.
No matter the reason, it is important to remember that you will not be blacklisted if there are other jobs available. There are many opportunities for you to find your role.
If you persevere, you will eventually succeed.
What is the most mysterious location on Earth?
Antarctica is the world's most mysterious place on Earth.
We find this place so fascinating. Because it is unlike anything else on Earth.
It is very remote and isolated. This site has more to it than meets your eye.
You will also find some of the oddest wildlife species in this natural wonder.
Let's see how this incredible destination became famous for its mystery.
Antarctica: The South Pole
It is not known why Antarctica was called Antarctica. Some believe it is "land of the ice". Others believe it comes out of Greek mythology.
Antarktis in ancient Greece was the name given the island where Zeus' twin brother brothers were born. According to one source, one of the twins was conceived in winter. Therefore, the name antarctic.
Others believe that the name is a combination of the Greek words anti and tropos which mean against and turn. This would be land turned away form the sun.
No matter the reason, Antarctica is a place that has always fascinated people.
It is also the lowest, windiest continent, driest, and highest. Because it is too frigid, there are no trees, animals, or plants.
Yet, life is abundant in this frozen wilderness.
About 90 percent of all living things on Earth live here. You can find approximately half the world's species of animal and plant plants here.
What makes Antarctica so special? Here, water freezes and becomes ice instead of evaporated into the air.
This causes large ice masses to rise above the ground.
These glaciers are responsible for covering 80% of the continent. They are growing in size every year.
The Antarctic Ice Sheet has grown 60 feet in the past 60 years.
The sea level could rise to 200 feet if the melting continues. This could lead to massive flooding across the globe.
Not everyone believes this is bad news. Some scientists think global warming might be beneficial. According to scientists, global warming could be good for us because the melting of the ice sheets will accelerate, which can lead to floods that release toxic chemicals into our soil and bodies.
Others cautioned that this theory sounds too science fiction.
What is the most surprising fact about your body?
We have two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, four limbs, a mouth, a nose, and a penis. We have over 50 parts of our bodies. However, one thing is missing. A heart.
The heart is a pump which circulates blood throughout the body. The blood moves through the arteries and veins to transport oxygen and nutrients into the cells, and remove 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 heart pumps blood 24 hours a days, 365 days per year. Your heart beats nearly 100 times a minute while sleeping.
Skin color can be used to determine if someone has a medical condition. You can see tiny blood vessels, called capillaries, when you look closely at the skin. These tiny vessels transport blood from the larger blood vessels to the heart. The skin turns blue or violet when blood flow becomes blocked.
People suffering from sickle cell disease have no red blood cells. Their blood becomes extremely sticky and hardened, which can lead to very serious illnesses.
If you cut yourself, a bandage is applied to stop the bleeding. 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 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.
Statistics
- "It is estimated that 75% of people have at least mild gum disease, with the most common symptoms being bleeding when brushing, bad breath, and dark and swollen gums," Dr. Ron Baise, a London-based dentist, tells Romper. (romper.com)
- A 2012 paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reported that people blink about 15 to 20 times each minute, meaning, if you do the math, you spend about 10% of the time that you're awake blinking. (romper.com)
- According to a 2018 study published in Free Radical Biology & Medicine, this is because blood pressure is regulated by our innate circadian rhythm and internal clock. (romper.com)
- The average human adult male heart rate is between 70 and 72 beats per minute, while the average for adult women is between 78 and 82 beats, which is significantly faster, according to 2014 published in the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research. (romper.com)
- In one 2014 study published in the Archives of Medical Science that sought to study the prevalence of these mites, research showed that 41% of the people had them hanging out in their eyelashes. (romper.com)

Hollywood scandals that stunned the entire world
Nothing is more shocking than seeing someone famous for wrong reasons. However, there is nothing worse than watching them fall from grace.
It is amazing to see how an industry handles its mistakes. We've all heard stories of celebrities who used drugs and alcohol excessively. Some even died young because of it.
The worst thing is when these stars are made public about their problems and shunned. That's where we found ourselves last week.
Heath Ledger, after a long and successful professional career, finally gave in to his demons. He overdosed on prescription pills, and after a brief battle with death, he passed away.
His family and friends struggled to accept his passing, and the media had a field day bashing him publicly.
Heath was once one of the most gifted actors currently working. Two Academy Awards nominations went to Heath for his performance on Brokeback Mountain.
Heath, in addition to acting, also wrote and directed films such as A Knight's Tale (Monster's Ball) and Iron Man (3).
Hollywood loved Heath but he grew too large for his boots. He began using drugs and drinking heavily. He ended up in rehab and became clean.
He was now sober and wanted to make amends. He made a documentary called "Room 237," that chronicled the making and release of The Shining. It was originally scheduled to release this year, but it won’t be available in theaters until next.
Heath attempted to get into Hollywood every time. 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. However, it would have been nice if he could have gotten some help before things spiraled out of control.
We hope Heath's story warns others who might think they can still have it all.
