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 is control and coordination?

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.

Bill gates makes strange toilets

Watch the Throne At long last, the successor to the porcelain throne has arrived. Well, maybe. The project began in 2011, when the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation issued the "Reinvent the Toilet Challenge." Samsung and the Gates Foundation joined up in 2019 to create the new product, which doesn't use a typical sewage system. Instead, according to a Samsung blurb about the toilet, it recycles pee through a purification process — while solid waste is dehydrated, dried, and "combusted into ashes." And they say only Apple comes up with the cool hardware! Clean Water It doesn't sound like serious stuff, but waste disposal is a significant global issue. The United Nations says that 2 billion people lack access to safe drinking water services, and 3.6 billion lack safe sanitation services. And if that's not enough, more than 700 children under the age of five die every day from diarrheal diseases because of unsafe water and sanitation conditions....

How can I classify living Organism

Biology - Diversity in Living Organisms Introduction Biodiversity term is used to define the diversity of life forms. Biodiversity is a word more often used to refer to the variety of life forms found in a particular geographic region. Diversity of life forms of a geographic region provides stability in the respective region. Base of Classification Greek thinker Aristotle first classified animals based on their place of residence whether they lived on land, in water, or in the air. Later, all the living organisms are identified and categorized on the basis of their body design in form and function. The idea of evolution was first described by Charles Darwin in 1859 in his book namely – The Origin of Species.’ Charles Darwin first described this idea of evolution in 1859 in his book, ‘The Origin of Species.’ Hierarchy of Classification Groups Some biologists, namely Ernst Haeckel (1894), Robert Whittaker (1959), and Carl Woese (1977) have attempted to classify all living org...

understanding Coal and petroleum-Chemistry

Chemistry - Coal and Petroleum Introduction The resources, which are present in unlimited quantity in nature and are not likely to be exhausted by human activities, are known as  Inexhaustible Natural Resources . E.g. sunlight, air. The resources, which are present in limited quantity in nature and are likely to be exhausted by human activities, are known as  Exhaustible Natural Resources . E.g. forests, wildlife, minerals, coal, petroleum, natural gas etc. Exhaustible natural resources were formed from the dead remains of living organisms (fossils); therefore, these natural resources are also known as  fossil fuels . E.g. coal, petroleum and natural gas. Coal Coal is hard as stone and black in color. Coal is one of the fuels used to cook food. Coal is used in thermal power plants to produce electricity. Under high pressure and high temperature, the dead plants those got buried inside the Earth, got slowly converted into coal. Coal contains mainly ...
