Q1 How long does it take a gulp ofwater to go from your lips to your bloodstream? A1 Lucia Garcia Worked at Hospitals Tue Water accounts forabout 50 to 85% of a person's body weight depending on the age. The younger youare, the higher the proportion of water in your body. The water passesthrough the mouth into the esophagus, then into the stomach, and after a shortstay, the water enters the small and large intestines. Most of the wateris absorbed through the small intestine and into the bloodstream. Since watercan be directly absorbed and utilized without being digested, Water Goes from Mouth to Bloodstreamin Just 5 Minutes. The water contentof blood is as high as 90%, which provides water to our organs and tissues. Finally, the bloodcarries excess water and waste to the kidneys. The kidneys filter excess waterand waste and excrete it as urine. Under normalcircumstances, the water in the human body is completely renewed every 15 days. Q2 Were Homosapiens present all overAfrica by 300,000 years ago? A2 Claire Jordan Degree in biologyand folklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper Tue Probably not, no. The earliestsapiens skeleton we have is from 310,000 years ago, and after that I don’tthink we see many until about 200,000 years ago. Then we see them in both thefar north and far south of Africa, suggesting travel over a long trade or migration route,but not so much in the rest of Africa until more recently. Q3 Can water from the sea and oceanbe made drinkable for humans? A3 Henry Cooper , former FAA SafetyInspector at Federal Aviation Administration (1987-2015)Answered 3m ago Ask the Saudis, and the U. S. Navy! Q4 Are 100% efficient solar panelspossible? A4 Steven HaddockLives in Toronto, ON(1959–present)May 21 No.You need wires to pickup the electricity generated by the surface that’s generatingelectricity, and they have to touch the surface, which means they get in the way of the light.It’s a balancing act of making the wires thin enough so they don’t get in theway but thick enough that they can carry the current without turning intofuses. They also have to be as close together has possible but there can’t beso many of them as to block the light. There’s also inevitably going to be some heat loss as thecurrent is transmitted out of the panel unlessyou keep them in liquid nitrogen or something. Q5 Why do doctors have such highconsultation fees in India? A5 Sai Sriram MBBS survivor Updated3h I don't get a freeride in a cab or an auto because i am a doctor. Food isn't freeeither. Zomato doesn't give 50% off because i spent sleepless nights operatingon someone. My house ownerdoesn't waive off rent because i am a doctor. I spent 12 years asa student making roughly 5 rs for every hour i worked for the last 6 of them. i don’t do edits,but i just clarify certain points to thereaders. I am not sure how things work in the Hindi heartland, if there is anextreme scarcity of doctors making their service such a valuable commodity thatthey can charge a zillion bitcoins for a 5 minute consult, it is because yourstate didn’t invest enough in health. Ask the leaders you chose why they didn’tfocus on healthcare. i can say withcertainty that the ethical and moral compass of the doctors is in its rightplace in most situations and i d rather not have lawyers and CAs and start updudes advice me on what i need to do. yes. We can’t save everyone.I know several doctors, including me, who have waived off their fees for somany patients. What youpay to the hospital doesn’t end up in our pockets. So you should question thosewho own the hospitals and not the doctors who work there. finally, for allyour claims of emotions running wild, i am yet to see a cop in a police stationor a judge in a court get assaulted like a doctor in a hospital. That andseveral comments here show the mentality of the populace. But do remember when the pandemic waskilling ppl who came forward to risk their lives for you. There isno nobility when there is lack of civility. A soldier is expected to fight. Andyet we see heroism there. The same goes for most doctors. If you hate ourprofession so much, it aint our loss. My note- Many things told are true. Only a % ofhospital charging goes to the doctor. However there are exceptions. My family doctor whostarted career in a small room has built a three story hospital with dutydoctors and 24 hour emergency service and all facilities. Still hisconsultation charge is only Rs100-00(One hundred only) Q6 What is the 'Diamond Crossing' inNagpur? A6 Milind Joshi Studied at BirlaInstitute of Technology and Science, Pilani (Graduated 1979) Apr 26 Nagpur in fact isthe geographical Centre of the Indian subcontinent. The double lines crossingfrom the North to the South and those from East to West form a square shape and is calledthe diamond crossing. Q7 Why there is plastic insulationover the electricity wires? 1st ANSWER- Gopala Krishnan, former AssistantGeneral Manager 1996-2004 at Department of Telecom (1966-2004)Answered just now Not all electricity(electric current) carrying wires have plastic coverings. Thosewires carried through poles from transformers are not insulated. They are ACSRwires. Wires to transformers from substations, wires to substations via towersfrom power houses are also not insulated. Earlier power wiresfrom distribution poles to homes were rubber insulated with weather proofingover it. Now such cables are rarely used. Thick PVC insulated wires/ powercables are used nowadays. IN cities mostly power cables are used. The bare wire carrying electric current will give shock.Hence covering is done with PVC now. In future insulating material can change withstill better insulator if INVENTED. 2ND ANSWWR-KrisH Jodu, B Tech Electronics andCommunication Engineering & Android Application Development, Rajiv GandhiUniversity o…Answered Feb 14, 2018 Because of that plastic is a insulator which preventsfrom getting electric shock when we touch the wire.Plastics does not allow the flow of current through it because of lack of freemovable electrons.That’s it 3RD ANSWER- Ashwad Pandit, works at CumminsIndia (2018-present) Answered Jul 28,2018Let’s imagine a bucket filled with boiling water. What happens if you tryto touch it? Your hand gets burnt. All red with burns. Not desirable…So, whatdo you do to avoid this? Whatif you put a wooden plank on the surface of the boiling water? You can touchthe plank now and not scald yourself. You can even transport thisboiling water, provided you ensure it doesn’t spill. The plank acts as an insulation for the heat. When it comes toelectrical wires, you can think of them along similar lines. The wires carrythe fast rushing electrons through them. This is akin to our ‘boiling water’. If you touch those wires, youcould potentially get electrocuted. So, to avoid this, we cover the wires witha material that would prevent the electrons from traveling through your body.There are a variety of such materials that can be used, but plastic is usuallyused for its ease of availability. Q7 What is the effect of too muchintake of salt on the human body? A7 Simon Watson, Successful At LosingWeight (2020-present)Answered 26m ago Good simplequestion.

A8 Ken Saladin, Former professor ofhistology (microscopic anatomy)Answered Nov 12, 2018 Among many other things, “salt” (NaCl, KCl, others) iswhat makes your brain, nerves, heart, and muscles work.With no salts, these would all be inactive, dead. Salts in the bodyalso control the volume and distribution of fluids in the body. Disorders in salt balance causeedema, hypertension, stroke, heart failure, and kidney failure. Other importantfunctions could be added, but these should suffice to show why salt is vital tosurvival—so vital that it used to be used as money, and wars have been foughtover it. Q9 How does salt affect our health? A9 Nagesh Tallapragada, SeniorTechnician-Mechanical at Coromandel International (1989-present) Answered Apr3, 2018 Sodium deficiency : Hyponatremia is amedical term used to describe deficiency of sodium.When the body's balance ofelectrolytes becomes unstable, the person suffers from hyponatremia. This situation arises if there is too much fluid in thebody, as the fluid leads to dilution of sodium, or ifthe sodium levels are too low in the body. Sodium plays an important role in body waterdistribution.It helps maintain blood pressure and acid-basebalance.It is needed to stimulate muscle contraction, as it is the majorcomponent of nerves.Calcium and other minerals are kept in soluble form due tosodium.It also stimulates adrenal glands and helps prevent heat strokes. Sodium along with chloride and bicarbonate maintains thebalance of electrically charged particles in the fluids and tissues. Remedy: oneshould consume less than 1500 mg of sodium (3/4 teaspoon or 3.75 grams of salt)per day. Generally, everyoneconsumes more sodium than the recommended amount. So, they alsosuggest that daily consumption of sodium should not be more than 2300 mg. (oneteaspoon or 6 grams of salt). While the minimum intake of sodium chloride or NaCl is 3-4grams, an average person consumes 8-10 grams of NaCl or even more. Therefore, sodiumdeficiency is a rare disorder that affects a person in extreme cases orconditions only. One should follow a healthy diet, and consume healthy foodsand drinks to avoid any form of deficiency related illnesses. Q10 What are the health implications ofconsuming a lot of salt? A10 Sebastian Dädeby, Embedded SoftwareDeveloper Updated Nov 21, 2017 I actually consumedabout 100–200g of salt in a drink as part of a competition once. Not smart, butpeer pressure will make you do stupid things. Well, long story short, theresult was a dramatic expulsion of the salt, drink, and what was left of mylunch into the nearest container about 5 minutes after I consumed it. The body is remarkably good atdetecting when you have eaten something that you shouldn’t and will remedy itASAP. Q11 Howdoes consuming too little salt affect yourhealth? A11 Venkateswara Swamy Swarna, formerScientist, Metallurgist, Quality / NDT Manager at Department of Atomic Energy,India (1967-2008)Answered Oct 29, 2020 Most of us eat toomuch salt anyway in the food. See the ingredients label formany processed foods. They are high in salt. So, you don’t eatenough salt for some time, not a problem. Many natural foods contain enough salt. Other animalsdon’t eat salt but they are fine. If your sodiumlevel drops too low, that may result in some complications. Too little sodiumor too much ofpotassium or calcium can lead to various health problems.
