Venous return is the flow of blood back to the heart. This process is achieved by five mechanisms. The Pressure Gradient, now this mechanisms work via the heart generating pressure even though the pressure is weaker in the veins than in the arteries it is still the most important force in the venous flow. Gravity, but only when you are sitting or standing anywhere above the heart simple gravity is at work in returning blood back to the heart, not to say that very thing isn’t still working…

Why the Crusades were started Crusades began as a series of some religious wars which the Latin Church sanctioned between the periods of 11th to 16th centuries. The aim of coming up with crusades was to save Jerusalem from the Islamic rule at that time. As much as crusades were for advancing the cause of Christ, they began as a way to free the Christians from the Islamic rule and force. This research paper explains all the crusades that started in Europe and determines if the crusades signify…

Rome was alluded to as the “mother of the world” because it was a center of civilization, erudition and administration, but the Western Roman Empire fell because of many reasons, such as poor administration in the 2nd and 3rd century, disease, foreign protectors, reduced Roman population and foreign invasion. After it fell in 410 A.D., the empire went into a time period known as the Dark Ages, where there were many downshifts in society. Some examples of the downshift in society’s progress…

Grey. The walls of the Tower were all a very monotonous, dull grey. The particular wall I was staring at had a class symbol on it, albeit not attuning to my own. The symbols were mentally etched into every class, so having them painted on the walls of our home reminded us of the pride we carry. But as of late, I can’t say there has been much self-pride for me to bathe in. Being the Tower’s recon scout meant that I was assigned all the mundane chores while my other fellow Guardians got to…

with the thumb (Estrella Mountain). In addition to grasping humans forelimb can be used for carrying, holding, using objects, and defense (Saladin 2003). Human’s forelimbs are shortened and are decreased in strength compared to apes (Ruff 2003). That is due to being bipedal, having short forelimbs and long hind limbs give humans the ability to walk upright (Saladin 2003). Having the ball and socket shoulder joint gives them the ability of 360 range of motion (PBS…

Throughout centuries, The Byzantine Empire was a center for arts, architecture and religion. Under the leadership of The Patriarchate of Constantinople, the Byzantines stood still as the cornerstone of the Orthodox world. While many churches were built during the empire’s 1120-year life, but most of them vanished over time either getting destroyed or being converted. However, one of them, an old tiny church overshadowed by the mighty Hagia Sophia, stayed where it was despite the powers against…

figures (such as his own brother), Sybilla was actually madly in love with her husband Guy and never had an affair with Balian, Godfrey was not a real person, and Baldwin V was not murdered by his mother. The only redemption (for me at least) was how Saladin was portrayed in this film, in the film he is portrayed…

They are known as the Crusades of the Thirteenth century and they pick up after the death of Saladin in 1193. I am not going to go into too much detail about these following crusades but they all did play a large part on European civilizations in some people’s eyes. However the Crusades have arguably created very important side effects that tormented…

The Crusades was a very important time for Europe's medieval period. It caused very significant changes to Europe. The first Crusade was in 1096. One of the most obvious and leading factors that lead to the first Crusades was the role of religion, specifically Christianity. During the Crusades, the economic system in Europe was in the state of transition. Another factor that led to the Crusades would be the defeat of the Byzantine by the Seljuk Turks in 1071. The Crusades opened up a lot of…
