NEW MYSTERY
I am stiff and straight when I'm cold
I am feeble when I'm warm
I cause a great deal of pain if you pull me
Some people have a lot of me
Some people have a little of me
What am I?
MYSTERY SOLVED -
NEW MYSTERY
I am down, way down
Yet I still support you no matter who you are
I am often neglected
But I am protected
I don't like people who have too much weight
It causes me distress
But if you don't care
I can give you a great deal of pain
I have a friend on top of me
I have more friends in front of me
I have no friends behind me
What am I?

NEW MYSTERY
Some people use me to tease
Many like to look at me
Though I may stink a little
I am the muscle that can turn the neck
I can be big, but I can also be small
I protect some important nerves
I help you to sit comfortably
What am I?

NEW MYSTERY
In an island of red
I am the sheep
Along with my friends
All of different kinds
We follow the master
Who does not stay with us
But visits us every morning and night
To make sure our wool is white as ever
What are we?

SPECIAL MYSTERY QUESTION
I like rock and roll
I move with the beat
Every beat counts
I have 3 little friends who loves dancing
One of them is my girlfriend
She holds on me so tightly
So that I don't fall off
I am in the band as well
You can find me in the percussion team
What am I?
MYSTERY SOLVED (alfagal)
The answer is the EARDRUM or medically termed as the tympanic membrane (the handle of malleus is seen to project on the central portion of this small organ and as the membrane vibrates from sound waves, it is easily transmitted towards the ossicular chain)...
Well done! -

Well done!Originally posted by renorenal:Nasal route > Oral route (first past effect in the liver) but nasal route has the ability to bypass it hence gets absorbed faster into the bloodstream and into the blood brain barrier...

Correct!Originally posted by renorenal:1) Maximize visual field
2) Ability to measure distance of objects precisely (depth perception)
3) Faint objects detection are enhanced, as binocular vision has an overlapping field of sight for both eyes
but more of point 1 and 3, cause, you can still perceive depth even with one eye (monocular cues). -
Correct again!Originally posted by renorenal:Having both ears help to localize the direction of the sound.
Any idea what are the two main ways? -
