What is the function of a synovial joint?
There are two major types of joints including freely movable joints which slide over each other easily and semi-movable joints, such as those in the spine, that are more stable but far less flexible. A few joints, such as those that make up the skull have no mobility at all. The human body has an astounding 300 different joints.Read more: http://skeletalmuscularsystem.suite101.com/article.cfm/human_skeletal_joints#ixzz0S1gj0nViEquine; The synovial joint consists of two bone ends covered by articular cartilage. The articular cartilage is smooth and resilient and enables frictionless movement of the joint. The joint stability is maintained by a fibrous joint capsule, which attaches to both bones and collateral ligaments, which are at the sides of most joints. Collateral ligaments are important in maintaining stability in joints such as the fetlock, carpus, elbow, hock and stifle. There are also intra-articular ligaments, the best example of which are the cruciate (cross) ligaments maintaining integrity of the femorotibial compartments of the stifle joint. In addition, there are other ligaments (outside the joint cavity) that also support the integrity of joints. The best examples are the distal sesamoidean ligaments and suspensory ligament that together with the sesamoid bones make up the suspensory apparatus and hold the fetlock in its correct position. Disruption of any of these structures leads to a failure of support of the fetlock joint (one of the common catastrophic injuries in the racehorse
How do you get gratification while during sex?
If you are the athletic type, the more in shape you are, the longer you will be able to keep moving during sex. Cardio exercises will help increase your ability to keep going. Running every day, aerobics, and so forth are all cardio exercises. To prolong sex before achieving an orgasm, there are a few tricks you could do. For her, if she is about to reach orgasm, you could just back off for a minute and let the tension leave without reaching climax. But why would you want to do that? Women can have multiple orgasms and continue without a hitch. For men, however, it's a different story. You can try the same method as above - backing off just before orgasm until the need leaves if you want to. There's also an area, called the perineum, that has been reported that by using your thumb and placing pressure on it just before an orgasm will help stifle it until he climaxes again. The perineum in the skin between the scrotum and anus between his legs.
What is the central dogma and who challenged it?
The term "central dogma" of molecular biology is often taken to mean the flow of information from the DNA in the nucleus of the cell, into messenger RNA via transcription, and thence into proteins (more correctly, polypeptide chains) via translation at ribosomes in the cytoplasm.1. The DNA replicates its information in a process that involves many enzymes: replication.2. The DNA codes for the production of messenger RNA (mRNA) during transcription.3. In eukaryotic cells, the mRNA is processed(essentially by splicing) and migrates from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.4. Messenger RNA carries coded information to ribosomes. The ribosomes "read" this information and use it for protein synthesis. This process is called translation.* * *If this question is taken to refer to the above sense of "central dogma", and the "challenge" therefore to the "reverse" flow of information: from RNA to DNA, that was found to be routine in retroviruses (such as HIV, which causes AIDS), using the enzyme reverse transcriptase. The names of David Baltimoreand Howard Temin are particularly associated with the discovery of this enzyme.In fact, this question opens a can of worms! It's all to do with what people take the term "central dogma" to mean.In 1958 Francis Crick coined two terms for two ideas that were then considered fruitful in guiding future research. This was five years after the publication of Watson and Crick's double-helix model for DNA, and three years before the genetic code began to reveal itself through experiments by Nirenberg and Matthaei ("polyU" coding for phenylalanine, etc.) and by Crick and Brenner (the code consisting of three nucleotides).The two ideas were:1The sequence of residues in DNA informs the biosynthesis of proteins (we would now say polypeptides), specifically the sequence of residues (amino acids). Logically enough, Crick called this idea the sequence hypothesis.2Once information (about the sequence of residues) has passed into a protein, it does not come out; in other words, the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide chain does not influence the synthesis of DNA, RNA, or other polypeptide chains. Crick called this the central dogma.In later years, among other things:Watson published a book, Molecular biology of the gene, in which he confused Crick's two points, using the term "central dogma" in a way that relates it to the sequence hypothesis. Watson did not use the term "sequence hypothesis". There has now developed a widespread myth, especially associated with the United States, that the idea of the sequence hypothesis was calledby Crick the "central dogma".Some people who had not read Crick's paper, and knew little of his mind and modus operandi as a scientist, accused him of trying to stifle research, by being "dogmatic" that information could flow only from DNA to RNA to protein, and never in the reverse direction. Crick never said that, as a read of his 1958 paper confirms.Crick wrote a note, published in Nature in 1970, trying to put the record straight. He particularly mentioned by name Barry Commoner as someone who had misquoted him (and, implicitly, someone who had used the misquotation to draw false conclusions about Crick's reasoning and motives).Crick much later admitted that when he chose the word "dogma" he thought it was more or less close in meaning to "hypothesis".Does Crick's central dogma hold true? NO. 1.) A viruses genome consists of RNA. 2.) The process of DNA to RNA to protein can actually be reversed (aka complementary DNA).Prions do not challenge Crick's dogma. The modifications to proteins that prions effect are to secondary structure (coiling and so on), not to the primary structure (the amino acid sequence).***Crick's "Central Dogma" has been contradicted by countless experimental facts. However, "facts don't kill theories - only more advanced theories kill obsolete theories". "The Principle of Recursive Genome Function" (Pellionisz, 2008) showed that by retiring the old mistaken axioms of BOTH JunkDNA and Central Dogma we accomplish the theoretical breakthrough towards "Recursive Genome Function".
