After counting the rings, we can assess the age of the tree.</li>
<li>404 How does the rotation and revolution of the earth affect our lives? The earth rotates on its axis even while it revolves around the sun. The rotation results in night and day. As the earth revolves around the sun, it also tilts on its axis. This tilt causes changes in the earth’s position, which results in the seasons.</li>
<li>405 Who found out that oxygen is present in both water and air? Antoine Lavoisier.</li>
<li>406 Which Vitamin is important for the health of bones? Vitamin D.</li>
<li>407 Why do animals like rats and squirrels keep gnawing at things? Gnawing helps wear down their teeth. If they did not gnaw at things their teeth would keep on growing.</li>
<li>408 Who was the first woman of Indian origin to travel in a space vehicle? Kalpana Chawla.</li>
<li>409 Why does a snake flick its tongue so often? To smell the surroundings.</li>
<li>410 What is the scientific name for man? Homo Sapien.</li>
<li>411 Who is considered to be the father of modern experimental science? Galileo Galilei.</li>
<li>412 What is the name of our galaxy? Milky Way.</li>
<li>413 How is petroleum formed? Remains of plants and tiny animals that lived millions of years ago remain buried and turn into petroleum.</li>
<li>414 What is a mirage? How is it caused? A mirage is a reflection, caused by the bending of light rays. When we ride along highways particularly in arid regions, we see a reflection ahead, which looks like water. This is caused by a dense layer of warm air near the surface of the earth. Light rays from the sky are reflected toward one’s line of vision – what one sees is a reflection of the sky and not water.</li>
<li>415 How is oxygen formed in the atmosphere? In the presence of chlorophyll, a chemical reaction takes place in the leaves using carbon dioxide in the air and water transported from the roots. As a result of the chemical reaction, starch is produced. Oxygen is the by-product of this reaction.</li>
<li>416 Which is the juice secreted in die liver which helps digestion? Bile.</li>
<li>417 What is meant by the word ‘frequency’ of a sound? Frequency is defined as the number of vibrations per second. It must be noted that sound is caused as a result of vibrations in air columns or strings or objects. Sound travels in waves.</li>
<li>418 Which is the longest poisonous snake in die world? King Cobra</li>
<li>419 What is the tendency of plants to grow towards sunlight called? Phototropism.</li>
<li>420 Why do snakes shed their skin? Unlike human beings, whose growth stops around 20 years, snakes keep on growing. This becomes possible because they keep casting off old skin and develop new skin, when the old one is shed.</li>
<li>421 Why does it take longer to cook food at high altitudes? The atmospheric pressure at high altitudes is much lower than at sea level. The greater the pressure, the faster the cooking.</li>
<li>422 What is the use of the ozone layer in the earth’s atmosphere? It bounces off ultraviolet radiation.</li>
<li>423 How do we get heat and light from the sun? Through radiation.</li>
<li>424 How do insects breathe? Insects breathe through the tiny holes in their body.</li>
<li>425 Why doesn’t ice sink in water? Ice is lighter than water. After the temperature of water cools down to 4° Celsius (instead of contracting) water keeps on expanding till it reaches 0° Celsius and becomes ice.</li>
<li>426 Apart from earth on which other planet in the solar system does life exist? Nowhere else. As we know it.</li>
<li>427 What is meant by the Water Table? Water filters down the surface of the ground and is absorbed and stored by soil and rocks in a zone of saturation. The top of this zone is called Water Table. During drought, the Water Table too goes down.</li>
<li>428 Who is known as the father of computers? Charles Babbage.</li>
<li>429 Why do we feel hungrier in winter? In winter we need energy to maintain the body temperature in addition to sustaining normal activities of the body. To meet this requirement of energy we eat more.</li>
<li>430 Can you give ah example of reflex action? Knee jerk. It is the involuntary kick caused by a blow on the tendon just below the knee.</li>
<li>431 What is an electrocardiograph? The electrocardiograph is an electrical instrument, which records the activity of the heart muscle. As the heart beats, several activities take place in a regular! order. The electrocardiograph records changes that occur in a regular order, during a complete heartbeat.</li>
<li>432 Which bird can rotate its head by 180 degrees on either side? The Owl.</li>
<li>433 Man, dogs, cats, horses have lungs through which they breathe. How do smaller animals like fish, earthworm, etc obtain their requirement of oxygen? Earthworms also respire. They use their moist skin to exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen. The fishes use their gills to respire. Even frogs in the tadpole stage use their skin for respiring. Reptiles such as snakes and turtles and even birds breathe through lungs.</li>
<li>434 What are the uses of snake venom? It is helpful in curing many ailments affecting the nervous system.</li>
<li>435 What is the major element a star is made of? Hydrogen</li>
<li>436 Where does a female butterfly lay its eggs? Under side of leaves.</li>
<li>437 Who invented the miner’s safety camp? Sir Humphry Davy.</li>

<span style="font-weight: 700;">Cardiovascular System</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px;">
Heart and circulatory system make up your cardiovascular system. Your heart works as a pump that pushes blood to the organs, tissues, and cells of your body. Blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to every cell and removes the carbon dioxide and waste products made by those cells. Blood is carried from your heart to the rest of your body through a complex network of arteries, arterioles, and capillaries. Blood is returned to your heart through venules and veins. If all the vessels of this network in your body were laid end to end, they would extend for about 60,000 miles (more than 96,500 kilometers), which is far enough to circle the planet Earth more than twice!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
The one-way circulatory system carries blood to all parts of your body. This process of blood flow within your body is called circulation. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from your heart, and veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to your heart</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, blood vessels, and the approximately 5 liters of blood that the blood vessels transport. Responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and cellular waste products throughout the body, the cardiovascular system is powered by the body’s hardest-working organ — the heart, which is only about the size of a closed fist. Even at rest, the average heart easily pumps over 5 liters of blood throughout the body every minute</div>

<b>Cardiovascular System Anatomy</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b>The Heart</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
The heart is a muscular pumping organ located medial to the lungs along the body’s midline in the thoracic region. The bottom tip of the heart, known as its apex, is turned to the left, so that about 2/3 of the heart is located on the body’s left side with the other 1/3 on right. The top of the heart, known as the heart’s base, connects to the great blood vessels of the body: the aorta, vena cava, pulmonary trunk, and pulmonary veins.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b>Circulatory Loops</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
There are 2 primary circulatory loops in the human body: the pulmonary circulation loop and the systemic circulation loop.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
1.Pulmonary circulation transports deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs, where the blood picks up oxygen and returns to the left side of the heart. The pumping chambers of the heart that support the pulmonary circulation loop are the right atrium and right ventricle.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
2.Systemic circulation carries highly oxygenated blood from the left side of the heart to all of the tissues of the body (with the exception of the heart and lungs). Systemic circulation removes wastes from body tissues and returns deoxygenated blood to the right side of the heart. The left atrium and left ventricle of the heart are the pumping chambers for the systemic circulation loop.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b>Blood Vessels</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
Blood vessels are the body’s highways that allow blood to flow quickly and efficiently from the heart to every region of the body and back again. The size of blood vessels corresponds with the amount of blood that passes through the vessel. All blood vessels contain a hollow area called the lumen through which blood is able to flow. Around the lumen is the wall of the vessel, which may be thin in the case of capillaries or very thick in the case of arteries.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
All blood vessels are lined with a thin layer of simple squamous epithelium known as the endothelium that keeps blood cells inside of the blood vessels and prevents clots from forming. The endothelium lines the entire circulatory system, all the way to the interior of the heart, where it is called the endocardium.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
There are three major types of blood vessels: arteries, capillaries and veins. Blood vessels are often named after either the region of the body through which they carry blood or for nearby structures. For example, the brachiocephalic artery carries blood into the brachial (arm) and cephalic (head) regions. One of its branches, the subclavian artery, runs under the clavicle; hence the name subclavian. The subclavian artery runs into the axillary region where it becomes known as the axillary artery.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
1.<b>Arteries and Arterioles</b>: Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. Blood carried by arteries is usually highly oxygenated, having just left the lungs on its way to the body’s tissues. The pulmonary trunk and arteries of the pulmonary circulation loop provide an exception to this rule – these arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs to be oxygenated.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
Arteries face high levels of blood pressure as they carry blood being pushed from the heart under great force. To withstand this pressure, the walls of the arteries are thicker, more elastic, and more muscular than those of other vessels. The largest arteries of the body contain a high percentage of elastic tissue that allows them to stretch and accommodate the pressure of the heart.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
Smaller arteries are more muscular in the structure of their walls. The smooth muscles of the arterial walls of these smaller arteries contract or expand to regulate the flow of blood through their lumen. In this way, the body controls how much blood flows to different parts of the body under varying circumstances. The regulation of blood flow also affects blood pressure, as smaller arteries give blood less area to flow through and therefore increases the pressure of the blood on arterial walls.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
Arterioles are narrower arteries that branch off from the ends of arteries and carry blood to capillaries. They face much lower blood pressures than arteries due to their greater number, decreased blood volume, and distance from the direct pressure of the heart. Thus arteriole walls are much thinner than those of arteries. Arterioles, like arteries, are able to use smooth muscle to control their aperture and regulate blood flow and blood pressure.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
2<b>.Capillaries:</b> Capillaries are the smallest and thinnest of the blood vessels in the body and also the most common. They can be found running throughout almost every tissue of the body and border the edges of the body’s avascular tissues. Capillaries connect to arterioles on one end and venules on the other.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
Capillaries carry blood very close to the cells of the tissues of the body in order to exchange gases, nutrients, and waste products. The walls of capillaries consist of only a thin layer of endothelium so that there is the minimum amount of structure possible between the blood and the tissues. The endothelium acts as a filter to keep blood cells inside of the vessels while allowing liquids, dissolved gases, and other chemicals to diffuse along their concentration gradients into or out of tissues.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
Precapillary sphincters are bands of smooth muscle found at the arteriole ends of capillaries. These sphincters regulate blood flow into the capillaries. Since there is a limited supply of blood, and not all tissues have the same energy and oxygen requirements, the precapillary sphincters reduce blood flow to inactive tissues and allow free flow into active tissues.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
3.<b>Veins and Venules:</b> Veins are the large return vessels of the body and act as the blood return counterparts of arteries. Because the arteries, arterioles, and capillaries absorb most of the force of the heart’s contractions, veins and venules are subjected to very low blood pressures. This lack of pressure allows the walls of veins to be much thinner, less elastic, and less muscular than the walls of arteries.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
Veins rely on gravity, inertia, and the force of skeletal muscle contractions to help push blood back to the heart. To facilitate the movement of blood, some veins contain many one-way valves that prevent blood from flowing away from the heart. As skeletal muscles in the body contract, they squeeze nearby veins and push blood through valves closer to the heart.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
When the muscle relaxes, the valve traps the blood until another contraction pushes the blood closer to the heart. Venules are similar to arterioles as they are small vessels that connect capillaries, but unlike arterioles, venules connect to veins instead of arteries. Venules pick up blood from many capillaries and deposit it into larger veins for transport back to the heart.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b>Coronary Circulation</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
The heart has its own set of blood vessels that provide the myocardium with the oxygen and nutrients necessary to pump blood throughout the body. The left and right coronary arteries branch off from the aorta and provide blood to the left and right sides of the heart. The coronary sinus is a vein on the posterior side of the heart that returns deoxygenated blood from the myocardium to the vena cava.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b>Hepatic Portal Circulation</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
The veins of the stomach and intestines perform a unique function: instead of carrying blood directly back to the heart, they carry blood to the liver through the hepatic portal vein. Blood leaving the digestive organs is rich in nutrients and other chemicals absorbed from food. The liver removes toxins, stores sugars, and processes the products of digestion before they reach the other body tissues. Blood from the liver then returns to the heart through the inferior vena cava.</div>

<b>Blood</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
The average human body contains about 4 to 5 liters of blood. As a liquid connective tissue, it transports many substances through the body and helps to maintain homeostasis of nutrients, wastes, and gases. Blood is made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and liquid plasma.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
•<b>Red Blood Cells</b>: Red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, are by far the most common type of blood cell and make up about 45% of blood volume. Erythrocytes are produced inside of red bone marrow from stem cells at the astonishing rate of about 2 million cells every second. The shape of erythrocytes is biconcave—disks with a concave curve on both sides of the disk so that the center of an erythrocyte is its thinnest part. The unique shape of erythrocytes gives these cells a high surface area to volume ratio and allows them to fold to fit into thin capillaries. Immature erythrocytes have a nucleus that is ejected from the cell when it reaches maturity to provide it with its unique shape and flexibility. The lack of a nucleus means that red blood cells contain no DNA and are not able to repair themselves once damaged.</div>

Erythrocytes transport oxygen in the blood through the red pigment hemoglobin. Hemoglobin contains iron and proteins joined to greatly increase the oxygen carrying capacity of erythrocytes. The high surface area to volume ratio of erythrocytes allows oxygen to be easily transferred into the cell in the lungs and out of the cell in the capillaries of the systemic tissues.</div>

<b>•White Blood Cells:</b> White blood cells, also known as leukocytes, make up a very small percentage of the total number of cells in the bloodstream, but have important functions in the body’s immune system. There are two major classes of white blood cells: granular leukocytes and agranular leukocytes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
1.<b>Granular Leukocytes:</b> The three types of granular leukocytes are neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. Each type of granular leukocyte is classified by the presence of chemical-filled vesicles in their cytoplasm that give them their function. Neutrophils contain digestive enzymes that neutralize bacteria that invade the body. Eosinophils contain digestive enzymes specialized for digesting viruses that have been bound to by antibodies in the blood. Basophils release histamine to intensify allergic reactions and help protect the body from parasites.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
2.<b>Agranular Leukocytes:</b> The two major classes of agranular leukocytes are lymphocytes and monocytes. Lymphocytes include T cells and natural killer cells that fight off viral infections and B cells that produce antibodies against infections by pathogens. Monocytes develop into cells called macrophages that engulf and ingest pathogens and the dead cells from wounds or infections.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b>•Platelets :</b> Also known as thrombocytes, platelets are small cell fragments responsible for the clotting of blood and the formation of scabs. Platelets form in the red bone marrow from large megakaryocyte cells that periodically rupture and release thousands of pieces of membrane that become the platelets. Platelets do not contain a nucleus and only survive in the body for up to a week before macrophages capture and digest them.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b>•Plasma:</b> Plasma is the non-cellular or liquid portion of the blood that makes up about 55% of the blood’s volume. Plasma is a mixture of water, proteins, and dissolved substances. Around 90% of plasma is made of water, although the exact percentage varies depending upon the hydration levels of the individual. The proteins within plasma include antibodies and albumins. Antibodies are part of the immune system and bind to antigens on the surface of pathogens that infect the body. Albumins help maintain the body’s osmotic balance by providing an isotonic solution for the cells of the body. Many different substances can be found dissolved in the plasma, including glucose, oxygen, carbon dioxide, electrolytes, nutrients, and cellular waste products. The plasma functions as a transportation medium for these substances as they move throughout the body.</div>

Cardiovascular System Physiology</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 700;">Functions of the Cardiovascular System</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
The cardiovascular system has three major functions: transportation of materials, protection from pathogens, and regulation of the body’s homeostasis.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
•<b>Transportation:</b> The cardiovascular system transports blood to almost all of the body’s tissues. The blood delivers essential nutrients and oxygen and removes wastes and carbon dioxide to be processed or removed from the body. Hormones are transported throughout the body via the blood’s liquid plasma.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b>•Protection:</b> The cardiovascular system protects the body through its white blood cells. White blood cells clean up cellular debris and fight pathogens that have entered the body. Platelets and red blood cells form scabs to seal wounds and prevent pathogens from entering the body and liquids from leaking out. Blood also carries antibodies that provide specific immunity to pathogens that the body has previously been exposed to or has been vaccinated against.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b>•Regulation:</b> The cardiovascular system is instrumental in the body’s ability to maintain homeostatic control of several internal conditions. Blood vessels help maintain a stable body temperature by controlling the blood flow to the surface of the skin. Blood vessels near the skin’s surface open during times of overheating to allow hot blood to dump its heat into the body’s surroundings. In the case of hypothermia, these blood vessels constrict to keep blood flowing only to vital organs in the body’s core. Blood also helps balance the body’s pH due to the presence of bicarbonate ions, which act as a buffer solution. Finally, the albumins in blood plasma help to balance the osmotic concentration of the body’s cells by maintaining an isotonic environment.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b>The Circulatory Pump</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
The heart is a four-chambered “double pump,” where each side (left and right) operates as a separate pump. The left and right sides of the heart are separated by a muscular wall of tissue known as the septum of the heart. The right side of the heart receives deoxygenated blood from the systemic veins and pumps it to the lungs for oxygenation. The left side of the heart receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumps it through the systemic arteries to the tissues of the body. Each heartbeat results in the simultaneous pumping of both sides of the heart, making the heart a very efficient pump.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b>Regulation of Blood Pressure</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
Several functions of the cardiovascular system can control blood pressure. Certain hormones along with autonomic nerve signals from the brain affect the rate and strength of heart contractions. Greater contractile force and heart rate lead to an increase in blood pressure. Blood vessels can also affect blood pressure. Vasoconstriction decreases the diameter of an artery by contracting the smooth muscle in the arterial wall. The sympathetic (fight or flight) division of the autonomic nervous system causes vasoconstriction, which leads to increases in blood pressure and decreases in blood flow in the constricted region. Vasodilation is the expansion of an artery as the smooth muscle in the arterial wall relaxes after the fight-or-flight response wears off or under the effect of certain hormones or chemicals in the blood. The volume of blood in the body also affects blood pressure. A higher volume of blood in the body raises blood pressure by increasing the amount of blood pumped by each heartbeat. Thicker, more viscous blood from clotting disorders can also raise blood pressure.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b>Hemostasis</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: open_sansregular, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; padding: 7px 0px; text-align: justify;">
Hemostasis, or the clotting of blood and formation of scabs, is managed by the platelets of the blood. Platelets normally remain inactive in the blood until they reach damaged tissue or leak out of the blood vessels through a wound. Once active, platelets change into a spiny ball shape and become very sticky in order to latch on to damaged tissues. Platelets next release chemical clotting factors and begin to produce the protein fibrin to act as structure for the blood clot. Platelets also begin sticking together to form a platelet plug. The platelet plug will serve as a temporary seal to keep blood in the vessel and foreign material out of the vessel until the cells of the blood vessel can repair the damage to the vessel wall.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are some general knowledge facts about the Bermuda triangle.</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">The Bermuda Triangle is an undefined region located in the western part of the Atlantic ocean A large number of aircrafts and ships are reported to have disappeared in the triangle.It is also known as devils triangle</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">First of the reported disappearance was on December 1945 when five navvy planes which took off from Florida was never seen again.Since then there have been many incidents reported .</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">Many theories have been put forward to explain the mystery relating to Bermuda Triangle which include both natural as well as supernatural. Natural explanations include compass variations , violent weather,human error,presence of large fields of Methane Hydrates etc. whereas the supernatural explanations are those like the lost continent of Atlantis,presence of UFOs ,etc.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">Larry Kusche a research librarian from the Arizona university researched about the topic and concluded in 1975 that the number of ships reportedly missing in the area was not higher compared to other regions in the ocean and also said that the Bermuda Triangle was a planted mystery .</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">The US navvy has not yet recognized the triangle ,according to them it does not exist .The Bermuda Triangle was not included in the list of 10 most dangerous waters for shipping created by the WWF.</li>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The word University is obtained from the Latin Word “universitas magistrorum et scholarium” which means a community of scholars and teachers. It is a highest educational institution which provides the undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate education in several types of subjects and after clearing the academic session provides the degrees in the concerned subjects. But in Top ten universities the level and quality of education is much higher as compared to formal schools. actually most of these top institutes are research centers which invent new concepts , ideas and more importantly new discoveries , their scholars are successful professionals in the society. as Finland has the best education system in the world but it didn’t come in the list. out of more than 160 countries in the world and thousands of universities worldwide, the united states of America is at peak of the list of top ten universities and UK comes at the second place. </div>

The google searches for Abraham the Old Testament prophet are not as reliable as those for Moses or Adolf Hitler, since quite a few famous historical or fictitious people have been named Abraham. The top three most famous are Abraham of the Bible, Abraham Lincoln, and Abraham van Helsing. But if you were to go, say, the Philippines, and ask the first passerby who Abraham Lincoln was, they might actually not know. Among well over 99% of the world’s cultures and societies, you will not have that problem when asking about the prophet called Abraham.</div>

He is revered by all three monotheisms, as well as Baha’i, as a prophet, and one of the first, if not the first, persons of the Middle East to believe in a single God. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are referred to as “the Abrahamic religions.” In the Bible, God makes a covenant with Abraham because of his devout, unswerving faith in God, while everyone around him follows the newest god to take everyone’s fancy. This covenant is marked by circumcision. God then tests the conviction of Abraham’s faith in him by demanding that he kill his firstborn son, Isaac, to glorify God. Abraham does not hesitate, but takes Isaac up to the top of a mountain and is about to kill him when an angel arrives and tells him to stop. God is immensely impressed and blesses Abraham with fruitfulness: he will be the father of many nations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today, Abraham is precisely that. Muslims believe that it was not Isaac, but Ishmael, his other son, whom God told Abraham to sacrifice, and Muslims believe that Ishmael’s lineage led to the next entry. The site of the near sacrifice is traditionally deemed to be where the Dome of the Rock sits today. This shrine is sacred to all three Abrahamic religions.</div>

There’s really no need to explain just what the four Gospels say Jesus did to become famous, but in the interest of fairness, here are the claims: he was born to a virgin, died at about the age of 33 sometime around the year A.D. 33 (plus or minus 5), the most famous victim of crucifixion, and rose from the dead on his own power 3 days later, ascended into Heaven and now sits at the right hand of God the Father as a manifestation of that God’s only offspring. You can look up the various miracles attributed to him. There are just over 7 billion people on Earth as of this list, and just about one-third precisely, 33.32%, of them, worship Jesus as “the Christ of God.” We may fairly say that these 2.33 billion people know very well who he was/is, and specifics about his life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is also indisputable that those followers of Islam and Judaism both know perfectly well who he was. There are some 1.75 billion Muslims on Earth today, or 25% of the global population, and since Jesus is venerated as a very important prophet of their religion, to whom they say Muhammad spoke when he sprang to Heaven on a horse, Jesus is certainly not unknown to them. There are about 1.3 billion atheists the world over, and at least 98% of those people certainly know all about Jesus. It is highly possible that the only people on Earth who have no idea who he was, or anything about him, are those people who belong to the 100 or so primitive, uncontacted tribes remaining around the world, the most well known across the Internet of which are the Envira people of the Brazilian-Peruvian border area, deep in the Amazon Jungle. They have been photographed from helicopter. It is doubtful they know of Jesus, or Muhammad, or anyone else on this list, as they are 100% isolated from the rest of the world’s societies.</div>

Google claims that 129,864,880 books have been written and bound throughout human history and which still survive in book form in some library in the world. That is not as high a number as you might have expected, but we are speaking of different volumes, so only one of the 25 million copies of the Bible printed every single year counts toward this total. Out of these c. 130 million books, it is estimated that 40% are about Jesus. This percentage includes books about Christianity in general, whether evangelical (or anti-evangelical) or historical. Richard Dawkins’s The God Delusion focuses on God in general, but pays special attention to Christianity, as any atheist apology must, since Christianity is the most popular religion, and thus Dawkins’s book counts as 1 book about Jesus, as it counts as 1 book about Muhammad. So there are some 52 million different books circulating the world right now that are in some way concerned with Jesus, the man who may have lived, who may have walked on water, and risen from the dead. The Gospel of John, one of the 52 million books written about Jesus, ends with this passage: “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.”</div>

Insurance of one's life or possessions is haraam and is not permitted, because it involves gharar (buying/selling something where it is not known whether what is being bought/sold will actually be achieved/delivered, or in what specific quantity, thus putting one�s money at undue risk to being lost) and riba (usury, interest). Allaah has forbidden all transactions that are based on riba, and all transactions which involve deceit, as a mercy to this ummah, and to protect them from that which may harm them. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
whereas ALLAH has permitted trading and forbidden Ribaa[al-Baqarah 2:275] </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And it was narrated in a saheeh report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade deceit. And Allaah is the source of strength. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Abdullah b. Dinar narrated that he heard Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with them) saying : A man mentioned to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) that he was deceived in a business transaction, whereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said : When you enter into a transaction, say : There should be no attempt to deceive. </div>

Book 10, Number 3663: (Kitab-Al-Buyu- Book of Transactions) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If what is meant by submitting your papers to the insurance company is that you have health insurance, or intend to take out health insurance, you should note that this insurance is haraam, as is so-called life insurance, because the insurance policy in both cases involves ambiguity and a kind of gambling. This has been stated by the scholars in their fatwas. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It says in Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa�imah (15/297): </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A � It is not permissible for the Muslim to insure himself against sickness, whether that is in a Muslim country or in a kaafir country, because that involves ambiguity and a kind of gambling. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
B � It is not permissible for a Muslim to insure his life or all or some of his physical faculties, or to insure his wealth, possessions, cars and the like, whether that is in a Muslim country or in a kaafir country, because these are kinds of commercial insurance, which is haraam because it involves ambiguity and a kind of gambling. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Insurance means that a person pays a certain amount to the company each month or each year against an accident that may happen to the thing insured. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is known that the one who pays insurance is losing in all cases, and the insurance company may win or lose, because if the accident is very serious and costs more than the money paid by the customer, the company will lose, but if it is minor and costs less than the money paid by the customer, or if no accident happens at all, then the company will win and the customer will lose. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Based on this, this kind of insurance is haraam. I do not know of any kind of insurance based on ambiguity that is permissible, rather all kinds are haraam, because of the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade transactions based on ambiguity. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen said: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Life insurance is not permissible, because if the angel of death comes to the one whose life is insured, he cannot refer him to the insurance company. So this is a mistake and foolish misguidance, and it involves depending on this company instead of Allaah, because the person is depending on the company, if he dies, to take care of his heirs, which means depending on someone other than Allaah. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is akin to gambling, indeed it is gambling in a real sense, and in His Book Allaah mentions gambling alongside shirk, divination with arrows and alcohol. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the case of insurance, a man may pay money for years and years, and he may lose it, but if he dies soon the company may be the loser. All contracts in which there may be gains or losses are kinds of gambling. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From Fataawa �Ulama� al-Balad al-Haraam, p. 652, 653. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are forced to take out insurance and there is an accident, it is permissible for you to take from the insurance company the same amount as the payments you have made, but you should not take any more than that. If they force you to take it then you should donate it to charity. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We advise you to fear Allaah and to turn to Him and make a lot of du�aa�, for anyone who turns to Him will never be disappointed. And we remind you of the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): �Whoever is stricken with poverty and turns to people for help, his needs will never be met, but whoever is stricken with poverty and turns to Allaah, Allaah will send him provision sooner or later.� </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This tutorial is about ISSB bio data form filling tips/how to fill issb bio data form.At ISSB Pakistan after arrival at the selection center You will be given a bundle of Bio data forms to fill.Actually the Bio data forms are about your daily life,interests,activities,hobbies,your father and mother occupation you family and friends.You need to be sharp while filling the forms ok.Here is a look of what they ask in Bio data forms filling at ISSB.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bio data form is the first thing you encounter when you go for ISSB. Bio data form is a multi sheet form which requires different personal information regarding you. Donot forget to Download the pictures of Bio data form ISSB and see it once before going to ISSB pakistan at the end of post.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SF9R90orUQ4/Uv-1X5amHCI/AAAAAAAAB34/CuI6hHiJdSw/s1600/BioData_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SF9R90orUQ4/Uv-1X5amHCI/AAAAAAAAB34/CuI6hHiJdSw/s1600/BioData_1.jpg" height="151" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">ISSB BIO DATA FORM</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<h2>
This form is very important.</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div>
This form is with the interviewer on the third day of I.S.S.B. and he asked questions related to you by reading from that form.</div>
<div>
This form contains some general questions which you need to answer. But there are some questions about which most of the candidates dont know about, and they face difficulty while filling that form, I' ll jot down some of those important questions here.</div>
<h4>
CAST and SUB CAST question:</h4>
<div>
One question is related to your CAST, which means your "zaat" and its second part is SUB CAST. What Cast means is whether you are "Raja" "Malik" "Chohadry" etc. and subcast means "Awan", " Janua", " chandio". For example if there is a candidate who'se name is "Raja Waqar Ali Awan" This means that RAJA is his cast and Awan Sub cast. If any of you dont know about your cast and sub cast its recommended that you ask your father and prepare the answer .</div>
<h4>
About your Date Of Birth:</h4>
<div>
Another question that is a bit tricky is related to your date of birth, you are asked to calculate your age to the day your are at ISSB. Meaning how may years, months, and days old are you today?</div>
<div>
For instance my date of birth is 6th May 1982 and today its 4 April 2008, how should i calculate my Age? The answer is simple . Do simple subtraction</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4 - 4 - 2008 (minus)</div>
<div>
6 - 5 - 1982</div>
<div>
gives you 25 years 10 months 28 days. This is what you have to write over there.</div>
<h4>
About your relatives in Armed Forces:</h4>
<div>
Another question asked is about your relatives who are in the armed forces of Pakistan. Now thats a bit tricky one, that not only ask for names and ranks, they also ask where they are posted now, and what is their current address, you have to prepare and ask them before going for ISSB what is their current address so that you are not worried over there and scratching your head.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A frequent reader of my blog couple of days ago asked a very important question that previously slipped my mind. The question is related to the bio data form, This question is about writing some event in your life. The title of the event is written and you have to write one based on it from your life.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The topic can be <b>"write about the most tragic event of your life" , "write about the unforgettable incident of your life" "the most happiest event of your life" "the most shocking event of your life" </b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The main purpose of this question is to get to know you better, to see your emotional level, to see what kind of things you can bear, and how eventful your life has been, and if the event is life changing, then how has it influenced your life.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I would highly recommend you to prepare all of these topics in a way that they truely are from your real life, and also off course positive. Tragic event can be the death of some close loved one, unforgettable incident can either be tragic or happy event, the word "unforgettable" has the meaning that its something that was so startling that you just cannot forget about it for the rest of your life, so it can be some happy event, like for example you met someone you take as hero, or you got a chance to be on live TV or something like this. Most shocking as the title says can be both positive or negative but again positive shock and happy shock is advised.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The reason why am I saying is the event should be from your real life is that they might ask you questions related to that event, especially the interviewer if he finds it interesting or has the suspicion that its a made up fake event, if its such an unforgettable event and it really happened then you might give a hint of it in any of the psychological tests, thats natural. You can only defend it if it actually happened, it cant be a mega event, it can be a simple event, like getting first position in 7th grade, or getting something really interesting as winning a debating compitition in your school or college, anything that is appealing and real can be written.</div>
<div>
You have to right at most 7 to 10 lines which are more then enough, but it plays a key role in your I.S.S.B</div>
<div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are people who love the<b> iPhone</b> and then there are those that hate it. Yes, the iPhone isn’t perfect and sure, it isn’t as powerful as some of the top-notch <i>Android</i> smartphones these days. But having said that, I guess it would be obvious to accept that the iPhone brought a sort of a revolution in the smartphone market that led to Samsung copying almost everything from the <b><i>iPhone</i></b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are some cool things about the iPhone that people would probably never know but this <i><b>infographic</b></i> almost nails it. We just stumbled on it and it’s such an interesting thing that there’s a lot of stuff that the iPhone really innovated. At a time when Apple’s being tossed around for not producing something really innovative in almost two years, it’s a good thing to take a look back at the history.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Here’s the infographic. Take a look:</span></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a6vOy1ouTT8/UpJW824cd5I/AAAAAAAAB0k/zzgIP_5857Y/s1600/iPhone-Fun-Facts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Facts About the iPhone" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a6vOy1ouTT8/UpJW824cd5I/AAAAAAAAB0k/zzgIP_5857Y/s1600/iPhone-Fun-Facts.jpg" title="iphone information" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Some of the most interesting things from the Infographic:</b></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>iPhone kind of changed the way we text. Off-topic, without iPhones, you’d never laugh your lungs out the funny autocorrects in the world.</li>
<li>The <b><i>iPod </i></b>changed the way people listened and carried their music and the iPhone gave an extension to this. But with not enough memory (in 8 or 16GB models), the iPhone still lacks the kind of storage an iPod provides but if it did, the iPod line would be long dead.</li>
<li>Apps on the iPhone! Oh boy! At last call, several billion dollars have been spent on apps. Apple’s market share of app downloads is enormous despite the relative popularity of Android smartphones. And there’s just one thing that I can attach to that: <i><u>iOS</u></i> apps are far better than most Android apps. May be it’s got to do with the kind of strict rules that Apple enforces. Or may be it’s the kind of design aesthetic that app developers have. It’s both, I guess.</li>
<li>About 49% of the people sell their old iPhones before purchasing new ones! That’s something amazing because you don’t see that for any other phone in particular. Sure, people sell their old phones almost always but for a particular smartphone, the number’s huge. What it shows is that people are willing to get their hands on used iPhones too just because of the name/brand. Of course, that’s because of the quality.</li>
<li>Photos: One of the other things that iPhone revolutionized is photos. With progressively powerful iSight cameras, iPhones simply put strong cameras into people’s hands. And apps like Instagram just changed the face of the world of cellphone photography.</li>
</ul>
The iPhone also changed the way we do video chat. FaceTime has almost become a standard and I guess “Let’s Facetime” is one of the most popular phrases right behind “Let’s Skype!” Or may be the latter’s behind the former!</div>
