Earthing: Health Implications of Reconnecting the Human Body to the Earth's Surface Electrons
Feynman said that when the body potential is the same as the Earth's electric potential (and thus grounded), it becomes an extension of the Earth's gigantic electric system. DOMS is a common complaint in the fitness and athletic world following excessive physical activity and involves acute inflammation in overtaxed muscles
Bones, Muscles, and Joints
When you decide to move, the motor cortex sends an electrical signal through the spinal cord and peripheral nerves to the muscles, causing them to contract. Skeletal muscles are called striated (pronounced: STRY-ay-ted) because they are made up of fibers that have horizontal stripes when viewed under a microscope
Brain foods: the effects of nutrients on brain function
In humans, VNS failed to produce improvements in depression patients who participated in a short-term open trial (lasting 10 weeks)6; however, in a longer-term study (lasting 12 months), VNS produced beneficial effects that were sustained after 2 years7. Overall, the evidence seems to indicate that the act of feeding can itself modulate cognitive processes on two levels, through neural circuits that connect the gut and the brain and through the release of gut peptides into the bloodstream (FIG

Data repository management was provided by the National Center for Biotechnology Information and the Intramural Research Program of the NIH National Library of Medicine. Even with respect to the single Streptococcus mitis strain B6, gene losses associated with these events were common, for example differentially eliminating S
Cardiovascular System - Human Veins, Arteries, Heart
These again divide as they descend from the end of the aorta and each divides, between the last lumbar vertebra and the sacrum, into the external iliac artery, which supplies blood to much of the lower limbs, and the internal iliac artery, which supplies the viscera and the walls of the pelvis. It takes in deoxygenated blood through the veins and delivers it to the lungs for oxygenation before pumping it into the various arteries (which provide oxygen and nutrients to body tissues by transporting the blood throughout the body)
The best studied detoxification machinery is the xenobiotic metabolizing system, which includes receptors, metabolizing enzymes, and transporters, and which tends to prevent absorption, increase water solubility, or decrease reactivity of xenobiotic chemicals, thus leading to their detoxification and elimination from the body (Barouki 2010). We have recently shown, in a human model of preadipocytes and adipocytes, that the primary effect of TCDD on gene expression was the induction of the inflammatory pathway (Kim et al
Once the long bone parts have fused together, the only hyaline cartilage left in the bone is found as articular cartilage on the ends of the bone that form joints with other bones. Many strong thigh muscles attach to the femur and pull on the femur during movements of the hip and knee joints.At the proximal end of the femur is a rounded prominence known as the head of the femur
