How does Messi keep the ball close to himself

The science of how Messi keeps the ball close to himself photo credit: ZaleDesigns Messi is a magician with the ball at his feet. He's in my opinion the best player in the sense that he can control the ball so well, runs so fast with the ball & changes the direction at full speed like it's a walk in the park. For starters he started playing very early (at 3) which is crucial if you want to be a good player. In that aspect, he's God gifted as he had dribble skills which is genetic in my opinion. Height He is short which means a low center of gravity so it's difficult to push him off the ball. That's why we see that anyone rarely can topple him down, instead players much larger than him lose possession to him. So his short height suits his style of play & is a blessing in disguise. Change of pace Messi changes his pace really well. He starts slow and runs directly at the defender which means the defender has to stop & focus on him. When he reac...

what controls the body?

Biology - Control and Coordination

Introduction

  • In multicellular organisms, following the general principles of body organization, some specialized tissues are used to provide the control and coordination activities.

Nervous System

  • Nervous system is specialized system that provide control and coordination in animals.

  • All information, coming from our environment is detected by the specialized tips of some nerve cells, which are usually located in sense organs.

  • The information, acquired at the end of the dendritic tip (shown in the image given below) of a nerve cell, sets off a chemical reaction that creates an electrical impulse.

Structure of Neuron

  • This (electrical) impulse, which travels from the dendrite tip to the cell body, and then along the axon to its end of the axon, sets off the release of some chemicals. These chemicals cross the gap, or synapse, and create a similar electrical impulse in a dendrite of the next neuron (see the image given below).

Neuromuscular Junction

  • Likewise, the nervous tissue is made up of an organized network of nerve cells or neurons, and is dedicated for carrying information via electrical impulses from one part of the body to another.

Reflex Actions

  • If the nerves that detect heat, cold, or any such kind of more sensational element move muscles in a simpler way; so, the process of detecting the signal or the input and responding to it by an output action, is known as reflex action and such connection is known as a reflex arc (see the image given below).

Reflex Arc

Human Brain

  • The communication between the central nervous system and the other parts of the body is established by the peripheral nervous system.

  • Peripheral nervous system consists of cranial nerves, which arise from the brain and spinal nerves.

  • The brain (shown in the image given below) facilitates us to recognize, think, and take actions accordingly.

Human Brain

  • The brain is categorized into three major parts or regions, namely the fore-brain, mid-brain, and hind-brain.

  • Among these three parts (of the brain), fore-brain is the main thinking part of the brain; further, fore-brain are specialized for hearing, smell, sight, etc.

  • When brain gives command, muscle moves – it happens because muscle cells have special proteins that change both their (muscle’s) shape and arrangement in the cell in response to nervous electrical impulses.

How to predict exam and text questions

                How To Predict Exam/Text Questions how to predict exam questions Predicting the questions that will be on the test is an efficient approach to study for tests. Predicting exam questions can help you concentrate on the most crucial topics to know before taking the test. Identifying the most likely sources of knowledge from which your teacher will generate exam questions is the key to predicting test questions. The following are likely source of a test question Any textbook portions that your teacher discusses in class Your teacher may supply information that is not included in your textbook. questions your teacher ask in class. The information that your teacher writes on the whiteboard Your teacher's PowerPoint presentation contains information that you need to know. Anything your teacher reads out loud to you.

what is gravity

Physics - Gravitation Introduction All celestial bodies those found in the universe attract each other and the force of attraction among these bodies is called as the  gravitational force . Universal Law of Gravitation Every object in the universe has the property to attract every other object with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them (see the image given below). F  = force of attraction between two the objects ‘A’ & ‘B’ M  = mass of ‘A’ m  = mass of ‘B’ d 2  = the square of the distance between ‘A’ & ‘B’ G  = is the constant of proportionality and is known as the universal gravitation constant. The SI unit of G is  N m 2  kg –2 . It is obtained by substituting the units of force, distance and mass (as given in the following equation − $$G = \frac{Fd^2}{M \times m}$$ Henry Cavendish had calculated the value of  ‘G’  as  6.6...

What is hereditary and evolution

Heredity and Evolution Introduction evolution The principle of heredity determines the process by which traits and characteristics of an organism are reliably inherited. There are some organisms (especially plants) in which there are very less variations and sometimes difficult to establish the differences, but in some other organisms (especially human beings), there are comparatively greater variations. This is the reason that offspring do not look similar. Rules for the Inheritance of Traits – Mendel’s Contributions Johann Mendel is known as " father of modern genetics ." In human beings, the rules for inheritance of traits and characteristics are related to the fact that both the father and the mother equally contribute the genetic material to their child. Further, each trait of an offspring is usually influenced by both paternal and maternal DNA. Johann Mendel, who was an Austrian scientist, had experimented on peas and gave the “ laws of inheritance .” Mendel used a vari...
