The brain makes the heart function, but without a heart nothing else functions. In fact, in the absence of brain function, a human body can be kept alive for a surprising length of time as long as the heart can be made to beat....

Without sight, we would be little more than slugs. Yet most people take sight for granted; until something happens...

The structure itself is called the cranial vault. A cranium without facial bones is c...

With more than 100 billion neurons processing and storing information, it has a greater processing capacity, in a smaller space, than even modern supercomputers, including the worlds fastest – the IBM Roadrunner located at Los Ala...

Though basically nothing more than a ball and socket joint created by the intersection of the humerus (upper arm bone) and scapula (shoulder blade), evolution has transformed the human shoulder into an intricate fulcrum and lever th...

Poor dental, or oral, health has been linked to diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, stroke, low birth weight and even premature birth. Contrary to popular belief, teeth are not dead bits of bone.

For example, within the layers of the retina immediately behind the lens, light impulses are converted into electrical signals which proceed through the...
