Q3 What is something that most people don't know?
G While listening to music, your heart can sync to the rhythm.
KR Heart cannot nderstand but the brain and neurons and they in turn
create certain movements which is goog for heart as shown below by the
Harvard school of Medicine; sync is not right word; and one who questions
others do not know , must know first:
“Music can also alter your brain chemistry, and these changes may produce
cardiovascular benefits, as evidenced by a number of different studies. For
example, studies have found that listening to music may enable people to
exercise longer during cardiac stress testing done on a treadmill or
stationary bike improve blood vessel function by relaxing arteries help
heart rate and blood pressure levels to return to baseline more quickly
after physical exertion ease anxiety in heart attack survivors help people
recovering from heart surgery to feel less pain and anxiety (and possibly
sleep better).”
G Water makes different pouring sounds depending on its temperature.
KR” Dubious question pitching only wrt the temp. Temperature of water,
height water was poured from, rate that water was poured from one
receptacle to another, the type of vessel water was poured from and into,
and how the vessels affected the size of the stream of water that was being
poured. All these make diffrent sounds why?
The sound comes from the air bubbles produced when the stream of water
hits the surface of the water in the container. The air bubbles vibrate and
cause air molecules to vibrate and collide with other molecules. Sound is
a mechanical wave that is an oscillation of pressure transmitted through a
solid, liquid, or gas, composed of frequencies within the range of hearing
and of a level sufficiently strong to be heard, or the sensation stimulated
in organs of hearing by such vibrations. Water sounds — crashing waves, a
babbling brook, falling rain — tend to have just the opposite
characteristics, he says. They are rhythmic and usually build up or
dissipate gradually, rather than suddenly, which are qualities that the
brain finds inherently soothing. Disturbed or moving water has a frequency
content/distribution that approaches noise (think ocean waves lapping up
against the the shoreline/beach, which is close to white noise). Our
hearing system tends to tune out when presented with white noise, mainly
due to there being no discernible pattern in the sound for the hearing
system to focus on.
G Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.
KR Plus oozing blood.
G Hippos and whales are actually each other's closest living
relatives.
KR: If i write the right one with reasons Gopalkriahnan thing them
as thrash; but Goplakrishnan must analyse deep first. Since Quora are only
tme passers and so do not think to write the right. Now caught as 2 decades
back zLIVE SCXIENCE said it is a myth. WRONG ANSWER.
*Unlikely Cousins: Whales and Hippos *published January 25, 2004
The East African Hippopotamus. If the idea of whales being mammals has
always seemed a bit wild, then you'll probably be surprised to learn that
the giant aquatic beasts are pretty closely related to the hippopotamus.
Scientists have been wrangling over these relations for centuries. One
theory had been that hippos were related to pigs. Yet mounting evidence
suggested they are closer to whales. A new study concludes that a
four-footed semi-aquatic mammal that thrived for some 40 million years was
a common ancestor to both whales and hippos. "The problem with hippos is,
if you look at the general shape of the animal it could be related to
horses, as the ancient Greeks thought, or pigs, as modern scientists
thought, while molecular phylogeny shows a close relationship with whales,"
said Jean-Renaud Boisserie, a post-doctoral fellow at the University of
California, Berkeley. "But cetaceans - whales, porpoises and dolphins -
don't look anything like hippos." To complicate matters, there is a
40-million-year gap between fossils of early cetaceans and early hippos.
Boisserie and colleagues in France say they've filled in the gap with
fossils of a "water-loving animal" that evolved into two groups, early
cetaceans and a group of four-legged animals called anthracotheres. The
pig-like anthracotheres, which developed at least 37 distinct genera, died
out less than 2.5 million years ago, leaving only one line: the
hippopotamus. The analysis puts whales within a large group of
cloven-hoofed mammals called Artiodactyla. That makes them relatives of
cows, pigs, sheep, antelopes, camels and giraffes, too.!!!!1!1
Goosebumps developed to make our ancestors’ hair stand up, making them
appear more threatening to predators.
Gossiop in one sentence. KR Many organs are made of three types of
tissue: epithelium, mesenchyme, and nerve. In the skin, these three
lineages are organized in a special arrangement. The sympathetic nerve,
part of our nervous system that controls body homeostasis and our responses
to external stimuli, connects with a tiny smooth muscle in the mesenchyme.
This smooth muscle in turn connects to hair follicle stem cells, a type of
epithelial stem cell critical for regenerating the hair follicle as well as
repairing wounds.
The connection between the sympathetic nerve and the muscle has been well
known, since they are the cellular basis behind goosebumps: the cold
triggers sympathetic neurons to send a nerve signal, and the muscle reacts
by contracting and causing the hair to stand on end. However, when
examining the skin under extremely high resolution using electron
microscopy, the researchers found that the sympathetic nerve not only
associated with the muscle, but also formed a direct connection to the hair
follicle stem cells. In fact, the nerve fibers wrapped around the hair
follicle stem cells like a ribbon.“We could really see at an ultrastructure
level how the nerve and the stem cell interact. Neurons tend to regulate
excitable cells, like other neurons or muscle with synapses. But we were
surprised to find that they form similar synapse-like structures with an
epithelial stem cell, which is not a very typical target for neurons,” Hsu
said.
Next, the researchers confirmed that the nerve indeed targeted the stem
cells. The sympathetic nervous system is normally activated at a constant
low level to maintain body homeostasis, and the researchers found that this
low level of nerve activity maintained the stem cells in a poised state
ready for regeneration. Under prolonged cold, the nerve was activated at a
much higher level and more neurotransmitters were released, causing the
stem cells to activate quickly, regenerate the hair follicle, and grow new
hair.
The researchers also investigated what maintained the nerve connections to
the hair follicle stem cells. When they removed the muscle connected to the
hair follicle, the sympathetic nerve retracted and the nerve connection to
the hair follicle stem cells was lost, showing that the muscle was a
necessary structural support to bridge the sympathetic nerve to the hair
follicle. (Harvard science) And predators cannot know all these and tyhey
can hit you even woth ther goosbumps.
Spider webs were used as bandages in ancient times. Nth time KR
Some cars can run on used French fry oil. Nth time KR
G Thumbs have their own pulse.
KR Place your pointer and middle fingers on the inside of your
opposite wrist just below the thumb.
Don’t use your thumb to check your pulse, as the artery in your thumb can
make it harder to count accurately.
Once you can feel your pulse, count how many beats you feel in 15 seconds.
Multiply this number by 4 to get your heart rate. For instance, 20 beats in
15 seconds equals a heart rate of 80 beats per minute (bpm).
Humb pulse will not help you to count properly since wrist and pulse beats
are similar and not varied (as said above) thumb is avoided only for the
reasons of counting.
Stomach acid is strong enough to dissolve metal. Nth time KR
Raindrops don’t fall in the drip shape popularly conveyed. They fall in
the shape of tiny parachutes or hamburger buns. OMG nth time KR
