How Your Tongue Works - HowStuffWorks - 0 views

  • There's a famous myth that the tongue is the body's strongest muscle. It's not really true -- and not by any definition of strength. But that shouldn't make the tongue any less impressive.
    • Isabel Herrera
       
      Everybody says that the tongue is the strongest muscle that you have, but that's not exactly true. But that can't tell you that the tongue is not impressive, because it is. 
  • The tongue is an accessory digestive organ which, along with the cheeks, keeps food between the upper and lower teeth until it's sufficiently masticated, or chewed.
    • Isabel Herrera
       
      The tongue is a "accessory digestive organ" that helps food stay between all your teeth until it's entirely chewed.

Jupiter Facts - The Planet Jupiter - Jupiter For Kids - 0 views

  • Although Jupiter’s orbit, and therefore its year, is so much longer than the Earth’s, its day is much shorter.  The Earth turns on its own axis, turning away from the Sun and so giving us day and night, once every 24 hours.  Jupiter spins round much faster, turning on its axis once every 9.84 hours!
    • Esteban Cantu
       
      Jupiter orbits every 9 hours, while earth takes much more, jupiter's year is longer than earth's.
    • Esteban Cantu
       
      The first human that discovered the  moons of jupiter was a man named Galileo, that lived from 1564-1642.

Taste, Information about Taste - 0 views

  • An individual's unique sense of taste is partially inherited, but factors such as culture and familiarity can help determine why one person's favorite food made be hot and spicy while another just can't get enough chocolate.
    • Isabel Herrera
       
      Taste can also depend on your culture or family traditions and that's why some people love spicy food while other people hate it and prefer chocolate instead.
  • Taste occurs when specific proteins in the food bind to receptors on the taste buds.
    • Isabel Herrera
       
      Taste can happen when the protein in the food your eating joins with the receptors in your taste buds.
  • Taste buds for all four taste groups can be found throughout the mouth, but specific kinds of buds are clustered together in certain areas. Think about licking an ice cream cone; taste buds for sweetness are grouped on the tip of our tongue. The buds for sour tastes are on the sides of the tongue and saltyon the front.
    • Isabel Herrera
       
      The taste buds for all "four taste groups" are usually placed all over the mouth, but taste buds for specific kinds are found in a little group somewhere in the mouth. For example, the taste buds for sweetness can be found in a tiny group in the tip of your tongue. The taste buds for sour are found on the sides.

  • People constantly regenerate new taste buds every 3-10 days to replace the ones worn out by scalding soup, frozen yogurt, and the like. Unfortunately, aspeople grow older, their taste buds lose their fine tuning because they are replaced at a slower rate.
    • Isabel Herrera
       
      A lot of people change taste buds every 3-10 days to avoid the taste buds that had been used for hot soup and frozen yogurt. But as people grow older their taste buds starts losing their ability to taste that's why they're replaced.
  • (The number of taste buds varies in different animal species. For example, cows have 25,000 taste buds, rabbits 17,000, and adult people approximately 10,000.)
    • Isabel Herrera
       
      Different animals have different amount's of taste buds, Fore example cows have 24,000 taste buds, rabbits have 17,000 taste buds and adult people have 10,000 taste buds.

How the Human Eye Works - 0 views

  • The cornea is a transparent structure found in the very front of the eye that helps to focus incoming light. Behind the cornea is a colored ring-shaped membrane called the iris. The iris has an adjustable circular opening called the pupil, which can expand or contract depending on the amount of light entering the eye. [The 7 Biggest Mysteries of the Human Body]
    • guzman5862
       
      Here is how your eye works. There is a part of your eye named cornea and that is something that you can not see because it is transparent and that is located in the very front of your eye, and it is helpful because it makes stay in the thing your concentrated in. In the back of that there is a shaped important system in the eyes that it is named iris. The iris its very special and decorative but it also has another thing in it it is the pupil, and that its controlled by the light because when there is little light it is little and when there is more light it is more bigger.

Solar System - Facts and Information about the Planets and Solar System - 0 views

  • At the heart of the solar system is our sun. The four planets nearest it are rocky, terrestrial worlds — Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. After that are four gas giants — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter lies the asteroid belt, which includes the dwarf planet Ceres. Beyond the orbit of Neptune one finds the disk-shaped Kuiper belt, in which dwarf planet Pluto resides, and far beyond that is the giant, spherical Oort Cloud and the teardrop-shaped heliopause. See the structure of the solar system (infographic).

Introduction to Dolphins Dolphins are very intelligent and they seem to be well loved by humans. This aquatic mammal has been able to fascinate us in a variety of ways.

    • lopez5891
       
      Dolphins can do such things. It is really bad that dolphins are in captivity. Because they separate them from their family. And they feel the same as if someone separated us from our family. So it is really sad because a dolphin's life with out their family is really dissapointing. And they feel that something is missing they're whole life.

Why We Divide the Day Into Seconds, Minutes, and Hours - 0 views

  • The concept of needing to divide up the day seems second nature to even the smallest kid who asks, “is it snack time”.   The reality is, even though we’ve decided that there is a need to divide up time, the actual process and the way we go about it has been changing for millennia.  The cruel irony is that even though we know we need to measure time, there has never been a consensus on what time really is.
    • marino5856
       
      The day is divided into minutes, seconds, and hours because of snack time so it all depended in how many times would we eat. That is equal to 12 hours plus the night so another 12 hours. Thats why there are 24 hours in a day.

How the Human Eye Works | Cornea Layers/Role | Light Rays - 0 views

  • Light rays pass through a dense, transparent gel-like substance, called the vitreous that fills the globe of the eyeball and helps the eye hold its spherical shape.
    • guzman5862
       
      When light pass to inside of your eye it is called a light ray and they travel hard, it is something that you can not see and if you touch it its like jelly but it stays there because it contacts with some part of your body, and that is named a vitreous and it puts allot of things inside the eyeball and that is important because its helpful for the so that it can keep his original form not for the eye to change of shape like (Rectangle, Square).

The Planets in Our Solar System in Order of Size - 0 views

  • What also is amazing is the sheer size difference of planets. While humans think of Earth as a large planet, in reality it is dwarfed by the massive gas giants lurking at the outer edges of our Solar System. This article explores the planets in order of size, with a bit of context as to how they got that way.
    • Diego Hinojosa
       
      Earth can be thought by us people. By a giant planet but in reality it is really little. In our solar system. The biggest planets on the whole solar system are Jupiter and also saturn they both are "gas giants."
  • No human was around 4.5 billion years ago when the Solar System was formed, so what we know about its birth comes from several sources: examining rocks on Earth and other places, looking at other solar systems in formation and doing computer models, among other methods. As more information comes in, some of our theories of the Solar System must change to suit the new evidence.

Your Eyes - 0 views

  • Your eyes are at work from the moment you wake up to the moment you close them to go to sleep. They take in tons of information about the world around you — shapes, colors, movements, and more. Then they send the information to your brain for processing so the brain knows what's going on outside of your body.

"Missing Links" Found between Birds and Dinosaurs - Scientific American - 0 views

  • "Dinosaurs became ever more 'birdy' over time," Brusatte said, but there was no single missing link, he added. Birds and dinosaurs are like two colors in a rainbow, he said — you can recognize each, but they bleed into each other at their borders.
    • jaime5789
       
      Scientists think that dinosaurs and birds were connected, not only because they look alike, but because their blood is identical... 
  • The new pedigree of carnivorous dinosaur evolution is the most comprehensive one ever assembled, the researchers say. The findings show that birdlike features such as wings and feathers developed slowly over tens of millions of years.
    • jaime5789
       
      Dinosaurs evolved to birds, and it happened slowly, it took millions of years for dinosaurs to evolve into birds... Even though they were always changing, they grew feathers, then developed flying skills!
  • The label of "bird" is somewhat arbitrary, but scientists consider the feathered fossil Archaeopteryx to be the first of the group, Brusatte said. "What probably distinguishes birds is the ability to have powered flight," he said, though it's possible that other dinosaurs could fly too.
    • jaime5789
       
      We predict that  Archaeopteryx a very early bird, that looks like a dinosaur, and lives with the dinosaurs is what made the birds of today fly!

Animal Habitat Requirements of Wildlife - 1 views

  • Habitat for any wild animal must provide: cover (shelter) from weather and predators; food and water for nourishment; and space to obtain food, water, and to attract a mate.
    • morales5853
       
      Animals of course decide to live were they know they have all the necessary things. Once they are adapted to their habitat, they certainly know there are beasts they should protect from.
  • South Carolina does not have pronghorn antelope because we do not have the wide-open spaces that these animals require.
    • morales5853
       
      All animals only live were they have their own space and security thats why elephants don' t live in the forest were there are many trees instead they live in Africa in the open space.
  • Wildlife do need things in their environment to hide under, but cover also includes having something to hide behind, or some type of obstruction between the animal and a potential predator.
    • morales5853
       
      If a animal is being chased by his predator, he can cover itself with the predator of the animal that is chasing him and he can be safe only if the animal that he is hiding with doesn't eat him.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • If a landowner removes or changes the amount or specific type of cover available to wildlife in that area, the local wildlife population may be affected. If a landowner decides to allow a forested property to mature, bobwhite quail populations may decline because feeding, nesting, and brood cover have been removed.
