      Fun fact 5.2: we've decided it's illegal to pay someone for one of their kidneys, but we can still pay 10x more for the surgery itself than what someone would be willing to sell their kidney for.
      "Free Healthcare" advocates will chime in about this, however in a society with "free" Healthcare it of course isn't free, and you have no choices in who does your surgery. You also have to wait a lot longer, which leads to people needlessly dying.
      Both systems have flaws, but "free" Healthcare is absolutely not free. It ends up costing the same amount on average, leads to longer delay times for treatment because there's no value (monetary gain) for Healthcare providers to improve treatment times, and there's no choices available to the patients. (They can't choose to pay a little extra to improve their treatment quality or treatment time, unless they choose to completely give up their current benefits, making it only an option for the wealthy or the desperate)

    Hello,
    On your site you could put numbers like 11,12,13,15 then 21,22,23,24,25 to reflect the episode and the number (1 to 5) of that episode.

      ...not really. But bees do need to go inside the fig and die. Female bees try to find a male fig to lay eggs in, but every now and then they enter female figs, and die inside. These fig flowers that had a female bee die inside become fruits. I think the bees are digested in the fig or something, so you shouldn't be (at least directly) eating any bees in figs. Also, the process of getting inside figs is brutal. The bee will loose its wings, some limbs, or other bits of its body as it forces itself into the fig flower apparently.

    The placenta can rupture prematurely during pregnancy. This causes the fetus to experience the hostile environment directly, rather than through a protective membrane.
    Fortunately, we have treatments for this: there are immunosuppressants and other medications that prevent the mother's body from attacking and destroying the developing fetus.
    A friend of mine's sister was born through this scary experience. Fortunately, there doesn't seem to be any damage done as a result of the water breaking prematurely, and both mother and daughter are healthy today.

    The tape measure one was a light bulb moment. I'd always noticed it but I didn't know why and sort of guessed that it was so you didn't have to have the measure perfectly perpendicular to the face it's resting on. As soon as you pointed out that you measure inside and outside the light switched on. I should have worked this out for myself but now I don't need to. Thank you.

      We read about this in physics! There’s also a cool thing called magnetic declination, which is the difference between what a compass shows you is north and what’s actually north.

      Well, I'm not a native english speaker, but I'll try to explain... please excuse me if I make some spelling mistakes.
      When a woman is pregnant, her immune system become naturaly depressed, by the action of hormones and stuff, so isn't likely to her to have a immune response to the fetus proteins. Just think about that: If she is pregnant of a second baby of the same father, she also would had previous contact to that father foreign proteins, so the case is similar.
      But, in both cases could occour an exception, and it's about blood types. Blood is a big thing in terms of proteins composition, and the Rh factor is just a matter of it. The fetus's and the mother's blood become directly in contact, on the tissues of the placenta, and if her have a negative type of blood, and the fetus, a positive type, due to the paternal genetics, the immune system of the mother could atack the fetus blood cells, eventually killing the baby. This isn't likely to happen in the first pregnancy, because the immune response usually is very weak, but in the second time, the case become very serious, causing what the doctors called fetal erythroblastosis. This could cause an expontaneus abortion, or damage severely the nervous system of the baby, due to the lack of oxygen caused by fetal anemia and etc.
      The incompatibility in blood types could would already make the kidney donation impossible, but about the pregnancys, this is an important subject. A lot of cases of erythroblastosis could be avoided by simple knowledge about this facts.
      Greetings form Brazil.
      I hope my answer was helpful somehow.

    • @Steel0079

      @@thalesguirino so the erythroblastosis only occurs after the kidney donation or can it occur in couples who didn't have kidney transplants among each other? Is it related to blood types even if the kidney transplant between the couple didn't take place ? If it has high chance of occurring in second pregnancy regardless of kidney transplant between couples, does a couple who is about to get married need to check their blood compatibility before getting married so erythroblastosis doesn't occur once they get married?
      Sorry for lots of questions. My apologies if it's all confusing.

      @thalesguirino 3 года назад +2

      @@Steel0079 Hello, I'm glad somebody take the time to read my comment. I think you understood most of the points, that's nice.
      Well, yes, the fetal erythroblastosis can occour in multiple cases, independently of any kind of transplantation - it's related intrinsecaly to the negative Rh factor of the blood. So, if a Rh negative woman is pregnant of Rh positive baby (what could easily happen, because the positive Rh factor is expressed by a dominant gene), the erythroblastosis can occour during the pregnancy. If the mother has a positive blood type she is safe from that problem, even if the baby has a negative type of blood. (The negative reacts against positive, but the positive doesn't react agains negative).
      It's kind of similar to blood donations... the positive can hold Rh negative blood, but the negative can't hold positive blood, due to the presence of foreing (Rh) proteins. Actually, the negative can handle it, but just once - in the second time, the immune response can be potentially deadly.
      So, yes, it's smart to couples to check the blood compatibility before pregnancy, to prevent miscarriages due to fetal erythroblastosis, if the woman has a negative type of blood, of course. Some immunosuppressant medicine solves the problem entirely.
      I hope I was able to clear up your questions.

      We sense direction on sound, but we don't sense distance in the same way we do with vision.
      Each eye gives independent information on the angle of perception, and it's from both that we interpret distance.
      Angle in hearing is reconstructed from both ears, so there's less information and no accurate way to interpret distance.
      I'd suspect the same would happen with shark's electrical senses.

      Thx for response and ou I'll fact check for u... k so apparently when a person gets pregnant the endometrium of the uterus turns into a decidua (specialized uterine lining for pregnancy). Like any other cell in the body the decidual cells have genes that can make chemokine proteins (the proteins responsible for recruiting T cells and eliciting the 'rejection response' to foreign stuff). But unlike any other cell in the body the chemokine genes in decidual cell are inactivated!!
      Inactivated genes for chemokines -> No chemokines -> no T cells recruited -> No immune response to anything that contacts the decidua.

    Sharks have electroreceptors across their snout. Hammerheads feed on the bottom for buried fish including rays, the fish have evolved burying themselves as their survival strategy. A hammerheads wide heads lets them scan a larger area more effectively with more sensors for prey as they hunt along the bottom. You can see this behavior in the wild and shark electrosensory perception in hunting for buried fish has been tested in controlled experiments on wild sharks. It is a far more compelling explanation for the evolution of the hammerhead's wide head and is another example of the red queen hypothesis in evolution. In this case the hammerheads evolutionary response to burying prey.

    • @TheVenerableMrKrieg
      @TheVenerableMrKrieg 4 года назад

      Yep. Improved stereovision and field of view is certainly a factor, but much more likely an added bonus considering the animal's behaviors-- primarily hunting for buried prey, where such vision won't typically accomplish much, while the wider field of electrosensory receptors would be invaluable. Ah well, just a reminder to always look something up if it interests you.
