KNOW YOUR BODY -HUMAN BRAIN

The   Brain  is  the  Major  Organ  of  the  central  nervous  system and the control  centre  for all the    body's  voluntary   and  in voluntary  activities.It  is  also  responsible   for  the complexities  of thought,memory,emotion,and language.In  adults  ,this  complex  organ  is  a  mere  1.4  kg  in weight.Containing  over 10  thousand  million  nerve cells Three  distinct  regions  can  be  seen -the  brain stem,the cerebellum, and  the large  cerebrum.The  brain stem  controls   the vital  body functions,such as breathing  and digestion.The   cerebellum's  main  functions  are  the maintenance  of  posture, and  the  coordination  of  body  movements.The  cerebrum      which  consist  of   the right  and left  cerebral  hemisphere. joined   by    the corpus    callosum, is  the  site  of most  conscious    and intelligent  activities.

CARNEVOURS PLANTS

CARNIVOROUS   (INSECTIVORES) PLANTS   FEED  ON  INSECTS   and  other   small    animals    to  producing  food    in  their    leaves  by  photosynthesis   The    nutrients   absorbed   from  trapped  insects    enable  carnivores   plants  to  thrive  in   acids,  boggy  soils   that  lack  essential  minerals  especially    nitrates , where  most   plants  could  not  survive .All   carnivores  plants   have  some  leaves   modified  as  traps  ;many  use  bright  colours     and  scented  nectar   to  attract  prey .There   are  three  types  of   traps  .Pitcher  plant , such as  the  monkey  cup   and  cobra  lily  , have   leaves   modified  as    pitcher-shaped    pitfall   traps,  half  filled  with   water  , once  lured  inside  the    mouth  of  the  trap  , insects  lose  their   footing  on  the  slippery   surface  ,  fall  into  the  liquid ,  and either  decompose  or  are  digested . Venus  fly traps  use  a  spring -trap  mechanism ,  when  an   inse

WHAT ARE ROCKS

ROCKS   ARE  BURIED   TREASURE-They   are  full   of    valuable    minerals   and  contain  metals,  gemstones,fossils    and  even  fuels  like   coal   and  petroleum.Every  type  of  rock contains   different    minerals.There  are  about   4,000  minerals   found  on  Earth.They    have   their   own  unique     shape  and  color. Broadly     rocks  are  of  three   types- Igneous &nbs p; rocks-  These  are&nbs  p; formed   when  molten  lava  comes   out  of  a  volcano.   When  it  cools  ,  it  crystallizes  into  solid  rock. Sedimentary    Rocks -     These  are   made  from loose  rocks   and  ancient   remains  of   animals  and  plants carried   by  wind  and  water,they  compact  and  hardened  into   solid  rock over  millions of  years.Most  fossils  are  found  in   sedimentary   rocks. Metamorphic  rocks  These  rocks  are  formed   when   Igneous    and   sedimentary  rocks   come  under   heat  and  pressure.Then   these  rocks chang

BULL FIGHTING IN SPAIN

  Bullfighting is the most traditional of Spanish Fiestas. The Spanish people consider them art forms which are intimately linked with their country’s history, art and culture.  Pressure groups attempt to lobby against bullfighting yet the King of Spain himself has allegedly stated that the day the EU bans bullfighting is the day Spain leaves the EU.  Bullfighting can be traced back to ancient days. They were popular spectacles in ancient Rome, but it was in the Iberian Peninsula that these contests were fully developed by the Moors from North Africa who overran Andalucia in AD 711. Bullfighting developed into a ritualistic occasion observed in connection with feast days, on which the conquering Moors, mounted on highly trained horses, confronted and killed the bulls.  Whilst bullfighting maintains strong support in its heartlands of Madrid, Andalucia and Extremadura it has been banned in Catalonia.    Bullfighting  Arena A Spanish bullfightin
