Does anyone know what neurogensis is?:bugeye: How is it related to human memory function? ~Kitty

She probably could. ~Kitty

After how many divisions did the cells begin to differential themselves as distinctly human or plant? ~Kitty

I know a bit of ASL. OUabache, that's pretty cool. ~Kitty

I didn't mean superior as in it would work way better for them. I'm sorry if it came off that way. For us verbal and sign language is superior than grunting like chimps. I do agree with your statement about humans intruding in their lives. ~Kitty

This is true. SA brings up a good question of why didn't they develop it themselves if it is superior? They have demonstrated the brain capacity is there. ~Kitty

Thanks. ~Kitty

Ah. Do you know what they do to test for antigens? ~Kitty

Did you read my last question? ~Kitty

Nothing I was just paging you to see if you were still reading through the thread. Thats all. Sorry. ~Kitty

Mk I don't think he ment whole. Lol. I'm with Monique. Why would you want to do that? ~Kitty

Oh Mattara? Mattara where are you? :wink: That wasn't something I read. I heard about it though. I was just wondering. Yeah mixing outside the body for coagulation is a good idea. How do you go that without opening the bag and exposing the blood to air bourn infections? ~Kitty

Wait...is that if you receive the wrong blood type in a transfusion? What if you have already had a transfusion, but you're in the emergency room and they have to transfuse you but they don't know what blood type you are so they use O negative? Will it kill you? ~Kitty

Ah thanks so much. ~Kitty

Because of the Rh- factors and the antigens. (Could someone remind me what an antigen is please...I can't remember.) ~Kitty

Why can all bodies accept O negative blood? Can a person with O negative blood accept another blood type? ~Kitty

I haven't heard that quote before. Why would the mother teach the infant ASL in addition to their natural method of communication? ~Kitty

TRCSF's statement is accurate. ~Kitty

This isn't a correct statement since pain in the lower back is attributed to the fact humans used to walk on all fours, but when they became bipedal the spinal column did not advance as much as it should have. If it had the lower portion of the spinal column would much thicker and stronger than...

was a show that I watched last night on how humans attribute emotional characteristics to animals. In the show they featured a segment about a chimpanzee who was taught sign language to communicate with humans. This isn't something new and many of us have heard about it. However, what I did...

I do think Morris' statements are a bit farfetched. I don't think there is really any evidence to support his claims about abstaining form sex because it hurts. I think that can really be tossed out the window simply by looking at the typical sexual behavior of a teenager; there is a larger...

Where did the system of A, B, O and such come from? What blood type is the most rare? The article made sense, but it didn't describe how you find out if you are + or -. I'd assume you would take a blood test obviously, but what do they do to the blood to determine what it is? ~Kitty

Just to make sure I read carefully; humans and plants have a common ancestor. ~Kitty

It would make sense this would be encoded incase we had to use it. I don't know about the mass destruction part though. ~Kitty

Although aren't some gene mutations continued through natural selection because they are beneficial to the species? I would think it would. ~Kitty

If his body temperature is higher than 100 I would start to be concerned. However if he runs between 97 and 99 he probably is fine and just functions at a higher body temperature. ~Kitty

How do you know if you don't have wisdom teeth? Can they see them on an x-ray? ~Kitty

Not to be mean or anything...but I don't know many people around their late teens that are very wise. :rolseye:

Is it possible for one to not have wisdom teeth? And what does it mean for them to be impacted? Why are they called wisdom teeth in the first place anyway? Just a interesting quiery I've been thinking about. :) ~Kitty

Ah, well at least she knows that she is at risk. ~Kitty

Well yes considering that pressure and temperature has an affect on the concentrations of the lactase enzyme. One molecule would breakdown a gram of lactose if it was potent enough and had a long enough period of time and if the conditions for that to happen were good. ~Kitty

I would have thought that the discoverychannel.cm or wikipedia.com would have had some information about the cuttlefish. Did you check those sites? ~Kitty

Can't a body temperature of more than 104.7 degrees Fahrenheit cause brain damage in humans? ~Kitty

Sometimes the lactose doesn't always work. It has happened to me even when I have taken enough. Sometimes the lactase enzyme doesn't always break down everything even if you haven't pushed yourself over LI limit. Typically with the over the counter Lactaid it says if you are eating foods...

How great is your friend's risk of cancer? Does she know she is at such high risk? Sometimes not even knowing you are at risk can increase the chances of getting it because you aren't taking the precautions to lower your risk. I'll look up some other risk factors. ~Kitty

Thanks Moonbear. :smile: Enuma, cute! I've never seen a cat do something like stand in front of the A/C. I've wondered about the amount of body heat they produce with the amount of food they ingest. I would think their metabolsm is much different from ours, but I'm not sure by how much. ~Kitty

Makes sense. Still, why the interest in how much it will take to break down one gram of lactose? ~Kitty

Aren't cuttlefish strictly salt water animals? ~Kitty

Pre-eclampsia was it. :biggrin: Thanks Monique. So back to the original query. ~Kitty

Pardon me for being ignorant, but I haven't had any children yet. Doesn't large amounts of stress during the pregnancy increase the risk of high blood pressure (can't remember the name. Its right on the tip of my tongue!) and premature labour? ~Kitty

I'd like to know the answer to your question as well. It might help me manage better. Just out of curiousity, how are you making your calculations? ~Kitty

Huh, thanks Hitssquad. So the green tea is good at lowering the LDL? ~Kitty

So Salem's ears are supposed to be that hot during the summer when I pet her? ~Kitty

Guess I did get them confused (again.) Sorry. :redface: ~Kitty

I'm not sure how physics would come into this process. This is more of a chemical thing I would think. ~Kitty

It would have to depend on the level of specificity you are looking for I suppose. ~Kitty

It probably has to do with the dimished ability of your cells to heal because of the age factor mentioned earlier. ~Kitty

My kitten Salem, who is almost a year old now, is a vocal outdoor cat. An she loves to be petted. Especially when you pat her head and her ears. One thing I contimually notice is her ears are hot to the touch. I don't know if its normal or not. Does anyone know anything about this? ~Kitty

I find when I feel a cold coming on if I drink 5-6 servings of green tea that I feel better the next day. Could that be attributed to the antioxidents in the tea? I don't know of any other teas that work the way green tea does. Does anyone know of a tea with similar effects to green tea? ~Kitty
