Structure of the Human Eye; Anatomy Overview and Functions
The eyes are a major organ in Humans similar to every other organism. It has a highly complex structural orientation which produces a sense of vision. It has complex receptors of light that can gather the surroundings and convert them into electrical signals/nerve impulses, which the brain processes and interprets to produce vision. Humans have binocular vision. It is the method by which both eyes can produce a single enlarged and wide image.
NASA’s Bennu asteroid sample delivered by the OSIRIS-REx mission contains building blocks of life
The initial analysis took place within weeks using X-ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and infrared measurements. These produced the 3D computer model of the particles which gave an idea about internal and external structure. This analysis gives the initial data about carbon content and water.
Russell’s Viper – Hemotoxic Venom | Details – Types, Effects, and Pharmacology
Russel’s Viper is highly venomous and possesses hemotoxic venom (RVV – Russel’s Viper Venom) which is highly lethal. A small jab with the fangs can transfer a large amount of venom, which can cause coagulopathies, internal bleeding, tissue damage (necrosis), and acute kidney injury.
