What is the largest bone in the human body?
The femur, also known as the thigh bone, is the largest bone in your body. It is also the heaviest, and the strongest bone in the entire human body. All of the body's weight is supported by the femurs.Thus aiding the body during the activities, such as running, jumping, walking, and standing.
Do snakes eat human flesh?
Snakes can eat mammals that are smaller or even equal to the their size (including humans). You can read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reticulated... there are few cases reported, these pythons come from many parts of asia including in my country (indonesia) I've heard some people say that snakes can't eat people because of our wide shoulders. Anyway, but how about if a particular person doesn't have a big enough shoulder ( a kid maybe) or if the snake has huge jaws. Well i don't wanna prove it for sure ;p
How much damage can a 15 foot fall cause?
It can kill you if you land wrong.A fall from a height of 15 foot is considered a "major fall" or "significant fall" to medical personnel- doesn't matter so much what you land on as how you land on. Land directly on your feet, you're likely to fracture ankles, tib/fib or jam the head of your femur up into your pelvis cracking it. Can you fall from that height and walk away with nothing but a good jarring? Sure- but it's a big risk.Fall and land in any other position, and the very least you're going to do is crack (closed fracture) bones or wrench joints. Land on your head, shoulders or upper back, and your cervical vertebrae can break- which is deadly- or you, literally, rattle your brain and never recover.
What is the electrical resistance of human body?
There are a lot of factors involved and every person does not have the same electrical resistance. For instance, men tend to have lower resistance than women. Just like for the resistors used in electronics, the resistance of a person's arm depends on the arm's length and diameter. Resistance goes up with length and down with diameter. Since men tend to have thicker arms and legs (more muscle), they usually have lower resistance. (An implication of this is that .) A rough value for the internal resistance of the human body is 300-1,000 Ohms. Naturally, the resistance also depends on the path that electricity takes through the body - if the electricity goes in the left hand and out the right foot, then the resistance will be much higher than if it goes in and out of adjacent fingers.Within the body, the tissues with the greatest resistance are bone and fat - nerves and muscle have the least resistance. That said, the majority of the body's resistance is in the skin - the dead, dry cells of the epidermis (the skin's outer layer) are very poor conductors. Depending on the person, the resistance of dry skin is usually between 1,000-100,000 Ohms. The skin's resistance is much lower if it is wet or burnt/blistered. This means that when a person is electrocuted in real life, the body's resistance drops as the skin is burned. To determine a person's total resistance, just add together the resistance of each part of the body - remember that the electricity must pass through the skin twice (on the way in and on the way out), so the total resistance is:Rtotal = Rskin(in) + Rinternal + Rskin(out)Source: EEE COMMUNITY: Typical Body Resistance & Current Flow & Q & A: The Human Bodys ResistancePlease read my other answers related to transformer core, diff. b/w power & distribution TX, EHV lines, Lightning & airplanes, transformer testing, AC vs DC, Buchholz relay, 3ph vs 1 ph, grounding, reason for power trip, MCB vs MCCB, DC motors, electrocution of birds by power lines etc on Vijay Belekar.
What i want to know about the .22 rifle bullet?
since the bullets are small, can they still pierce through a human stirnum? knowing that the stirnum is very strong. because i was on a rifle range, and i thought that i would just shoot the target stand which is made of wood. and about half an inch to an inch thick. is that equivalent to a human stirnum and can still penetrate the heart?
Is there any credible evidence of a hominin called Gigantapithecus, within the past 2 million years?
Their height range was believed to have been between 7' & 9' (2.2-3m)... The bibical Goliath was purported to be of this clan, measuring in at 8'...
On balistic gel, how many inches of penetration would you consider over penetrating?
i always wondered, because a 32 long penetrates about 18 inches at 10 feet. i would imagine 18 inches is a little much because nobody that is under 200LB should be more then 18 inches to their vital organs.between what and what do you consider deep but not too deep. (i am ready for many sex jokes on this question.) example: i think from 10- 15 inches is perfect. this is a subject i am clueless on. and please explain why you think thats penetrating enough
From how high could a cat fall onto hard ground and not be injured?
I'm assuming you mean house cats, and by falling hard you mean not a controlled fall. Cats are natural daredevils.They are pros at controlled falls. It's quite possible for a cat to survive at her terminal velocity of 60 miles per hour, as demonstrated by a study done on 132 cats falling an average of 5.5 stories, published in The Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association. 90% survived, albeit many requiring medical attention. The study suggested cats often have a better survival rate above a certain height due to their ability to relax and spread out more. In fact, only one of the 13 falling more than 9 stories broke a bone, and the cat that survived the longest fall, of 32 stories, was good to go in two days.However, many a cat fall without the opportunity for "righting reflex". I remember the worst such fall my cat Luna has made...... was when she was lost in a cloth bag atop a 6 foot cabinet. I saw her rolling to the edge and shouted across the room (during a party) "Nooooooo!!!!" But she fell. Straight down. Onto a wood floor.Was she screaming and crying in pain?No, she was not...She seemed a little dazed, but still cat-shaped. I patted her around, looking for some form of reaction, knowing cats instinctively hide injury. She seemed to check out fine, everywhere.There's a realization that I made over time. Cats have evolved to better survive accidents than other species. When a cat hunts prey, they are not trying to go for the jugular. They're just looking to trip their prey up, whether or not they go down with it. They know they're good at recovering very quickly. This ability also helps when they go down with nothing.However, that does NOT mean it's a good idea to facilitate such accidents, or even large falls at all, controlled or not. Cat bones still break, even from smaller heights than Luna fell from. While cats do appreciate height, those perches should be sturdy, with an easy way down. Keep Luna's pals safe!EDIT:There was concern in a comment that this "ground breaking research with cats" was done like this:Noooo... this was a study done on cats that were brought in for medical care. They were just studying accident reports, and not actually inducing "accidents".
