That's it. I give up. Sad Crying or Very sad

Kidding.

Heavier people can drink more because the alcohol is spread over a larger body mass. Skinny people surface area to volume ratio lower ma. So that's why skinny people get drunk easily.

Fatigue as in muscle fatigue like for example when you are straining your eyeballs for a magnificent period of time either in a computer or a microscope, your eye muscles are maintained at a single posture to allow you to strain your eyes. Hence without relaxation, the muscles are stressed upon (in cellular level, vital ions get screwed up all over the place which leads to an imbalance of sufficient ions in and outside of the cell). This will lead to an irregular and involuntary muscular contraction which is known as spasm or twitching to us. Any muscles, not only the eye muscles can be involved as well. Wink

MYSTERY SOLVED

heavenscloud SG

izzit bcoz smaller people haf smaller blood volume?? so for the same amount of alcohol, thin people are likier to have a higher alcohol concentration in the blood compared to fat man. tio bo??

renorenal SG

You've got it right, just that your way of putting it is not so organized... Laughing

Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is higher in thin individuals compared to fat people because of rapid absorption to the bloodstream and then into the brain. Fat individuals are able to retain and resist this because they have a higher blood volume amount and water content which dilutes out the alcohol. But they often suffer from severe hang-over which may lead to coma and even death if severe.

Master -_- SG

How does spontaneous combustion occur? Laughing

renorenal SG

Shocked what has it got to do with medicine? Laughing

hisoka SG

erm neuronal stimulus?

hisoka SG

if humans undergo spontanoues combustion confirm got to do with medicine one lah Laughing

renorenal SG

Stimulus is correct... emotions stimulates an increment of tear production from the tear film and the increased tear production is evacuated by the nasolacrimal duct, however with the increasing amount of the tears, the duct gets blocked at one time, and that explains why when you cry, you experience a nasal block phenomenon and start sniffing... Laughing

Amazing isn't it how our body works... Mr. Green

heavenscloud SG

oooooh.. Laughing

hisoka SG

the sniffing is pretty obvuos lah sicne the duct is connected.but i never understood what is this response for like no purpose one
