What’s more, with over 10,000 species, ants are one of the most successful creatures on the planet. An ant colony begins when a new queen flies from her home, finds a mate, and begins laying eggs. Nearly all of these eggs grow to become female ants. Although each of these daughters has the genetic potential to become a queen in her own right, chemical secretions from the reigning queen, as well as diet and environmental factors, inhibit their development and keep them sterile.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe growing family of female ants comprises a colony, and it takes on the many tasks of the society such as building and defending the nest, foraging for food, and caring for young eggs and ants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the colony is finally large enough, the queen lays a few unfertilized eggs which will grow into male ants, or drones – and a few of the female eggs are permitted to mature into new queens. The drones and the new queens both have wings and in a chemically-coordinated mating ritual, all take to the air in a swarm of activity, competing for each other’s attentions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost of the males are quickly consumed by birds – and the lucky ones that succeed, having accomplished their purpose, quickly succumb to their own mortality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut the queens shed their wings, lay their eggs, and settle down to their ordained purpose of ruling the world!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDESCRIPTION:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince they thrive in a wide range of environments, they’re easy to grow and make great pets.

Vaccination programs have saved millions of lives. Your body’s immune system acts like a security system to protect you against invading viruses, bacteria and other microbes. When harmful microbes make it past your skin, mucous and other surface barriers, they trigger the immune response. This involves white blood cells and antibodies that target specific microbes. Antibodies tag the microbe so your immune system can recognize it. If this microbe attacks in the future, your body can destroy it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNatural immunization occurs when you become immune to a microbe due to infection. Active immunization employs a vaccine to stimulate the immune response. Vaccines cause your body to create and store away antibodies for microbes that have never infected you. Vaccines are truly amazing - they protect against a disease without causing the disease. So even if you have never encountered the coronavirus that causes Covid-19, SARS-CoV2, the vaccine will protect you from it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout the Covid-19 pandemic, scientists have been working at a record- breaking pace to develop a vaccine.

There are many types of vaccines. Some contain dead or weakened microbes, inactivated toxins or a piece of microbe. The first Covid-19 vaccines use a synthetic version of a genetic molecule called messenger RNA. This causes human cells to produce a harmless coronavirus spike protein, which then stimulates the body to make antibodies. This and other Covid-19 vaccine technologies train your immune system to destroy the actual coronavirus if it attacks your body later.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThanks to vaccines, humans have been able to obliterate deadly diseases such as smallpox and polio, as well as reduce the prevalence of measles, HPV, the flu and dozens of other illnesses.

It also performs hundreds of other important functions, such as protein synthesis, glycogen storage, and hormone production, as well as detoxifying the blood stream. And these are critical tasks. When the liver is compromised by infection or injury, pale stools, dark urine, jaundiced skin, swollen ankles and feet, and frequent bruising can occur. And unless you’re a Titan, liver failure is fatal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeracles ultimately rescued Prometheus from the bird.

(Most lice can't even survive for more than a day or so away from heat of the body.) In addition, lice can't fly or jump, so transmission most commonly occurs through direct bodily contact or through sharing of personal items such as combs, hats, sweaters, and towels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStill, close quarters can certainly contribute to the spread of lice. In the World War I trenches, lice was rampant and soldiers cropped their hair short to try to avoid the “cooties” (a term thought to derive from the Malay word kutu, or biting parasite – though how the word traveled to the trenches is unknown.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you do discover a lice infestation, there are special shampoos, and even chemical treatments, that can be used to address it.

Lungs rely on your rib muscles and the diaphragm to expand and deflate. Air travels down your trachea into two bronchi, dividing into bronchioles and then into the millions of lung cells called alveoli. These clusters of tiny airbags provide a tennis-court sized area to maximize gas exchange. This is where the magic happens, where oxygen from the air is absorbed and passes into your blood. Carbon dioxide, a waste product of metabolism, travels from the blood to the alveoli, where it flows out and is exhaled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlveoli is a word taken from Latin meaning “little cavity”. So the lungs are in effect an enormous cavity enabling us to breathe. The lungs are covered by a thin layer of tissue, the pleura, and by lubricating fluid which allows smooth expansion and contraction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are many types of lung cells. Type 1 epithelial cells, or squamous alveolar cells, form most of the alveoli. They are devoid of organelles, such as mitochondria and golgi bodies, and have incredibly thin walls for effective gas exchange. Type 2 epithelial cells are cuboidal in shape and produce a surfactant to keep the alveoli moist. The lungs also have alveolar macrophages that provide a defensive mechanism against microbes and other harmful substances we breathe into the lungs.

These little vampires can be as small as pinpoints or as large as grapes – but they have an uncanny ability to sense heat and carbon dioxide, and to identify the well-travelled paths that their victims are likely to traverse. When they sense the motion of a nearby host, they drop from the tips of grasses or leaves and plunge their barbed, fang-like hypostome into their victim’s neck (or any other convenient spot) and lap up to hundreds of times their body-weight until they are sated. Or removed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA kind of arthropod, ticks are not insects but arachnids related to scorpions and spiders. Hard ticks (such as deer ticks and dog ticks) have a plate-like scutum protecting their backs which gives them the comfort to feed for hours or days. Because diseases such as tularemia, Lyme disease, and Rocky- Mountain Spotted Fever tend not to be transmitted until dessert, there is often time to remove discovered ticks before lasting harm has been done. (Soft ticks, on the other hand, eat and run, dropping off after barely an hour.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo remove a tick, folk remedies involving heated pins, matches, or gasoline are best avoided – they can provoke the tick into regurgitating part of its meal, and infection along with it. Instead, the tick should be grasped with a tweezers as close to the skin as possible, flipped onto its back (slowly, so as not to dislodge the “head”, or mouthparts, in the skin), and then gently pulled until it is removed. But resist the temptation to drive a stake through its heart as that can help spread disease as well. A bath of alcohol should allow you to discard a tick safely – perhaps with a clove of garlic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNAME:\t\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIxodes means hard-bodied, and scapularis means shoulder.

While it can produce symptoms such as discharges, burning sensations, abnormal bleeding, pain, and nausea, these symptoms are easily confused with those caused by gonorrhea. In addition, in nearly three quarters of women and nearly half of men chlamydia produces no symptoms at all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUntreated, the infection quietly spreads until it can attack fallopian tubes and ovaries, causing permanent damage to the female reproduction system, and in some cases even infertility. (It can also lead to epididymitis in men, which can cause sterility.) Fortunately, affordable and reliable testing is available for chlamydia – and it is highly responsive to antibiotics. Unfortunately, treatment is often tragically delayed until it is too late.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to its venereal impact, Chlamydia trachomatis is also responsible for trachoma, the leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide. Repeat infections with the bacteria eventually cause the eyelids to invert, and untreated scarring ultimately destroys the vision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrachoma is primarily confined to the developing world where medical care is limited. However, because C. trachomatis bacteria can be transmitted from a mother to a child during birth, half of the children born to mothers with chlamydia enter the world with an eye infection – or worse: chlamydia has also been implicated in causing infant pneumonia, as well as premature- and still-births.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNAME:\t\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts name comes from the Greek words “khlamydos”, meaning cloak, and “trakhoma”, meaning rough.

Activities that cause the release of dopamine include exercising, cooperating, having healthy relationships, and eating or even just anticipating eating sweet foods. Along with its main job of regulating and influencing thinking, dopamine also controls production and release of many hormones, such as those crucial for your response to stress.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChronic stress or pain can deplete dopamine and decrease the sensitivity of neurons to stimulation. This may result in the inability to feel pleasure, a defining symptom of depression. Certain illicit drugs cause overproduction of dopamine. Such drugs can hijack your brain’s own pleasure-reward system. Other drugs work by neutralizing cells that normally reduce the production of dopamine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDopamine controls the information flow from one brain area to another and it is synthesized in many brain regions. One region helps initiate movement, so damage there can lead to Parkinson’s disease, characterized by the loss of muscle control. Another region regulates the release of the pituitary hormone.

When blood sugar levels rise, beta cells release insulin which causes fat and muscle cells to begin absorbing the excess sugar. As a result, glucose levels return to healthy levels – and the sugar is stored for later use as a cellular energy source.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, if the beta cells are damaged, insulin production can become impaired. Type 1 diabetes is believed to be the result of an autoimmune response where the body’s own immune system attacks the cells and destroys them. Because the body is no longer able to produce insulin and reduce its sugar levels effectively, glucose levels rise. Increased fluid ingestion typically results, as well as frequent urination as the body struggles to reduce sugar levels. (The excess glucose also imparts a sweet taste to the body’s aqueous excretions, which is how diabetes was historically diagnosed...)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven if the beta cells are still functioning, diabetes can still occur if the body’s fat and muscle cells become insufficiently responsive to insulin – or if insufficient quantities are produced. This Type II diabetes is far more common, and typically occurs in adults.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut fortunately, Type II diabetes can typically be managed with dietary modifications, exercise, and sometimes medication. And while Type I diabetes requires the regular injection of insulin, rapid developments in monitoring and delivery mechanisms have greatly improved the lives of those living with diabetes – and biological research is honing in on ways to restore damaged beta cells and cure diabetes for good.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDESCRIPTION:\t\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeta Cells are found in islets of Langerhans, which are patches of endocrine tissue in the pancreas.

The cornea, a transparent membrane covering the surface, first directs light through the pupil, which then funnels the light into the eye. The pupil is a muscular hole in the middle of the iris, the colored circle of the eye. The iris regulates the amount of light that enters by controlling the size of the pupil. This is the pupillary light reflex. The iris does its job using both circular and radial groups of smooth muscles. Whether your eyes are brown, blue, or green is determined by the amount of pigment in the iris.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce inside, light is then focused through a flexible lens and projected onto the retina. The retina is a nerve layer at the back of the eye. Here more than 100 million cells known as rods and cones do their thing, converting the light into electrical signals. Rods sense dim light, giving you night vision and allowing your peripheral vision to detect motion. Cones are less sensitive to light but allow you to see colors. Many cones detect red light, some detect green, and only a few detect blue. But by blending the varying response levels of different cones, your brain is able to conceive a spectacular rainbow of beautiful colors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe electronic signals generated by the rods and cones travel through the optic nerve to the visual cortex of the brain.

It acts as a bag to store and concentrate bile, a dark green to yellowish brown fluid produced by the liver. Bile flows from the gallbladder into the small intestine where it breaks up fats into droplets for better absorption.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe gallbladder is not very humorous, but from ancient Greek times and well into the 19th century yellow bile was considered one of the four humors that kept the human body in balance. The four humors were blood, phlegm, black bile and yellow bile, all linked to the four elements: air, water, earth and fire. Blood and phlegm being moist were considered the agents of air and water, respectively. Black bile was the dry melancholy humor and represented the Earth. Yellow bile was also a dry humor, but choleric and connected to fire. Hippocrates identified and wrote about these four bodily fluids. It was Galen who later theorized that humors were formed in the body rather than ingested. He thought warm foods tended to produce yellow bile, while cold foods produced phlegm. While today we might chuckle at the theory of the humors suggested by great thinkers like Galen, he did get some things right, such as recognizing that the liver and the gallbladder are the keys to bile production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterials:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlush from all new materials.

Blood then re-enters the heart through the pulmonary veins to the left atrium, then the left ventricle pumps it through the aorta out to the body.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe human heart pumps blood at a rate of 60 to 100 beats per minute through the 60,000 miles of blood vessels packed in your body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to your organs and cells.

The uterus is shaped like an inverted pear. The fallopian tubes are on both sides along with two ovaries containing thousands of human egg cells. The ovaries also secrete the female hormones estrogen and progesterone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe egg cell, or ovum, is the female reproductive cell. It is very large, unlike the tiny male reproductive sperm cell. The ovum contains cytoplasm and unwound DNA, which promotes internal movement and flow. While men produce millions of sperm during their lives, women are born with a lifetime trove of several million eggs. By adulthood, only about 400,000 remain. In fact, only about 450 of the millions of egg cells will ever even have a chance to become a baby.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery day of a woman’s fertile life several dozen eggs begin developing. Normally only one egg will mature each month and take the daring journey down a fallopian tube where it has the chance of encountering eligible sperm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen fertilized by a sperm, the egg becomes a zygote, which divides and moves into the uterine cavity. Here it implants itself in the inner membrane of the uterus. The cells keep dividing, growing and developing into a fetus lying snugly in amniotic fluid and nourished through the placenta. After nine months, the baby turns head down and departs into the world!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterials:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlush from all new materials.

This dinosaur had a giant skull reaching over seven feet, about one-third of its body. The biggest skull of all horned, frilled dinosaurs belonged to another species named Titanoceratops. Triceratops means “three horned face” with two great horns sprouting from its brow and a smaller snout horn made from the soft protein keratin, which is also found in your fingernails. As with a deer’s big antlers, the size of the frills may have denoted the alpha male. Triceratops was grouped with other horned dinosaurs called ceratopsids, all with large bodies, hooflike toes and massive hooked beaks and shearing teeth, efficient for eating huge amounts of plants every day. As one set of teeth wore down from constant chewing, they would be quickly replaced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany governments have joined the prehistoric fun with more than 40 states now having official state dinosaurs or fossils. Triceratops has been honored twice as the fossil of South Dakota and the dinosaur of Wyoming.

Today, approximately 2% of people are diagnosed with autism. The rate of diagnosis is rising, as the conditions often went undetected in the past.

For example, neutrophils race to the scene when bacteria attack. They suffer large casualties creating the pus that forms on infections. B cells hurl antibodies at virulent viruses to neutralize them so T cells can move in for the kill. (T cells are also the military historians: they remember old enemies and guard against repeat attacks.) And when the dust finally settles, monocytes help clean up the place by digesting microorganisms and their remains.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome leukocytes also try to track down any traitorous cancer cells that your body itself produces. This domestic police force attempts to maintain cellular order to keep you healthy. Unfortunately, terrorist cells are hard to spot because they can look almost like normal cells.
