Underneath.the.Underneath

something else they dont tell you about bullets: the lower the caliber, the more damage it can actually do to your whole body. a 9mm bullet shot at close distance(roughly 20 meters) entered into a subjects upper torso, and played pinball in his body, exiting out of the back of his thigh

As far as #2 goes, in cases of severe bleeding that won't stop under direct pressure, a compression band can help slow blood flow to a limb without cutting it off completely

-
Basically, a compression band is just a loose tourniquet. Ideally, you should be able to fit 2-3 fingers between the band and the limb, to ensure it isn't so tight as to cut bloodflow completely.

-

Botulinum toxin- endospore of bacterium very heat resistant

Bacterium (Clostridium botullinum) can survive several hours (212 F/100 C) or 10 mins (248 F/120 C)

-

Diseases have distinguished smell (doctors can detect them)

-

Eye muscle have a special from of rapidly contracting myosin

^ blinks about 100,000 times a day

Equivalent to leg muscle work= 50 miles

-

Cerymen- ear wax-oily fatty substance

Special enzyme (lysozyme) break down cell walls of bacteria

-

Persons field of vision (200 degrees)

-

pH of blood

arterial blood 7.4

veneous blood 7.35

due to arterial having less Carbon dioxide

-

veins are blue because blood in It lacks oxygen gas, which makes blood appear deep, dark-red, almost purplish

seeing blue blood is the a combination of light passing through skin and the oxygen poor blood.

-

-

1 cube in of bone can stand 19,000 lbs (8,626 kg)= 5 standard size pickup trucks

4x the strength of concrete

Bones resistance= aluminum and light steel. Ounce for ounce, bone is stronger. Steel 5x as heavy in same dimension

-

Muscles

White (arm)

-less blood to them

Built for speed (not endurance)

Fast contractions

And movements

Tires faster than dark muscles

Dark (leg)

Dark b/c of ink supply supply of blood with myoglobin content

Dark muscle for endurance

-

Anatomy of hand

Hands <-> all tendons, no muscle

Muscle in forearm controls hands

-

Muscle cramps

Prevention

-take minerals (sodium, calcium, magnesium)

-stop fatigued muscle

-prevent cold muscles
