Listen especially to the point when Richard
Dawkins utters what has to be described as only 'laughable' -- which is what
the audience is forced to do when he exposes his foolishness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC5PzoXxRc0
The pituitary gland is separated into two sections – the anterior pituitary and the posterior pituitary. The gland is located at the base of the brain and secretes many different hormones. One – from the posterior gland – is called Vasopressin. It is also called anti-diuretic Hormone (ADH). When specialized cells in the body sense an increase in the blood ratio of particles such as sodium, urea, and glucose to the water content, the posterior pituitary gland secretes ADH to normalize that ratio. Too many particles cause water within the cells all over the body to dehydrate. Too few particles, and cells in the body will swell and burst. Depending on circumstances such as the ambient humidity and temperature, exercise, and diet, when ADH works properly, the kidneys of the healthy adult excrete approximately one to two quarts of water each day through urination. When ADH does not work properly – things go terribly wrong. Diabetes Insipidus (not to...
According to medical research, an average of 250 million sperm are released every time a man ejaculates. 250,000,000 sperm in EACH ejaculate. And each one of the 1/4 million has its own unique DNA coded into it. That means n o two sperm have the same DNA code. As most every adult knows, DNA directs our formation in the womb regarding our gender, basic intelligence, eye, hair, and skin color, our eventual height, what medical issues we will be susceptible to – and an uncountable number of other elements unique to each individual man and woman. And, of the hundreds of millions of sperm cells racing toward the mother’s ova (egg), only ONE will successfully break through the ova’s coating and bring about what we know as the conception of a singularly unique person. In other words, you and I are each a one-in-a-quarter of a million possibilities. When we take the time to think that remarkable bit of biological science through to its logical conclusion, we are faced with on...
(As always in these posts, my presentation of the facts about our body’s physiology is purposely brief. I do hope, however, that my posts will stir the reader to independent research). Fixing a Lethal Fluid Overload Problem There are several reasons our blood vessels can become overloaded with fluid – blood products and water, primarily. The reasons for the overload are beyond the scope of this post, but the point is, unless the body compensates for the fluid overload, we will die. Two body mechanisms which help the body compensate are found in the heart muscle itself – specifically the atria (the top left and right chambers of the heart), and the ventricles (the bottom two chambers). In response to atrial or ventricular filling, the heart muscle secretes specific hormones. The atrial hormone is called the ‘atrial natriuretic polypeptide’ (ANP). The ventricular hormone is called the ‘brain natriuretic polypeptide’ (BNP). Why it is called ‘brain natriuretic poly...
