The Bones Of Human Body-WordsEnclave


1. Skeleton 
The Skeleton is a mobile framework made up of 206 bones, approximately half of which are in the hands and feet. Although individual bones are rigid, the skeleton as a whole is remarkably flexible and allows the human body a huge range of movement. The skeleton serves as an anchorage for the skeletal muscles, and as a protective cage for the body's internal organs. Female bones are usually smaller and lighter than male bones, and the female pelvis is shallower and has a wider cavity.

2. Skull
The skull is the most complicated bony structure of the body but every feature serves a purpose. Internally, the main hollow chamber of the skull has three levels that support the brain, with every bump and hollow corresponding to the shape of the brain. Underneath and towards the back of the skull is a large round hole, the foramen magnum, through which the spinal cord passes. To the front of this are many samller openings through which nerves, arteries, and veins pass to and from the brain. The roof of the skull is formed from four thin, curved bones that are firmly fixed together from the age of about two years. At the front of the skull are the two orbits, which contain the eyeballs, and a central hole for the airway of the nose. The jaw bone hinges on either side at ear level.

3. Spine
The spine has two main functions: it serves as a protective surrounding back bone of the skeleton. The spine consists of 24 separate differently shaped bones with a curved, triangular bone at the bottom. The sacrum is made up of fused vertebrae; at its lower end is the smal tail-like structure made up of tiny bones collectively caller the coccyx. Between each pair of vertebrae is a disc of cartilage that cushions the bones during movement. The top two vertebrae differ in appearance from the others and work as a pair: the first called the atlas, rotates around a stout vertical peg on the second, the axis. This arrangement allows the skull to move freely up and down, and from side to side.

4. Bones and Joints
Bones form the body's hard, strong skeletal framework. Each bone has a hard, compact exterior surrounding a spongy, lighter interior. The long bones of the arms and legs, such as the femur, have a central cavity containing bone marrow.  Bones are composed chiefly of calcium, phosphorus, and a fibrous substance known as collagen. Bones meet at joints, which are of several different types. For example, the hip is a ball-and-socket joint that allows the femur a wide range of movement, whereas finger joints that allow only bending and straightening. Joints are held in place by bande of tissue called ligaments. Movement of joints is facilitated by the smooth hyaline cartilage that covers the bones ends and by the synovial membrane that lines and lubricates the joint.

Discovery Of World Wide Web (WWW) - WordsEnclave

Berners-Lee creates the world's first website. Tim Berners- Lee (b.1955) known lots about changing the world. There was a time when his web page were the only pages on the World Wide Web Born to parents who had met while developing one of the earliest computer, Berners-Lee studied for a physics degree from Queen's College, Oxford, then headed straight for  the computer industry. By 1998 he was working in Geneva,Switzerland, at CERN, the European particle physics laboratory. CERN was interested in finding a way by which groups of researchers could share information more easily. Berners- Lee saw the potential for marrying hypertext-a technique for linking documents together using clickable words- with the Internet, which was already heavily used by CERN, Working with colleague Robert Cailliau, he proposed a system he called the World Wide Web. The first web server was up and running by the end of 1990. At the time, Berners- Lee's "NeXT" computer did not have a ...
