Based on a recent Twitter discussion

Gular glands in crocodiles are one thing, but many are also not aware of the facial and movable glands in muntjacs.

These structures aren't really sexy so they are often omitted from documentaries. Here a video of them in action that made it's rounds some time ago.

Utterly bizarre when you are not familiar with them. It often makes me wonder what kind of glands we might miss in paleoart. Uropygial glands in birds for example, when did they evolve? Did non-avian dinosaurs already have then or did they use another, analogous structure during preening?

Another example are enlarged skin glands like the poison glands in many amphibians. Could temnospondyls already have something like this?

Just remembered, duikers are a good example of large preorbital glands as well, often appearing as prominent slits and pouches in front of the eyes. Some oreodonts like Eporeodon might had have similar structures.

CBUM / SEBUM

You know Cbum is not only the nickname of the Canadian bodybuilder Chris Adam Bumstead .

Sebum is also an oily substance that protects your skin from drying out. The difference between this is the spelling Cbum the bodybuilder / Sebum the oily substance for locking moisture in our skin.

Cable Gland in Outdoor Lighting Equipment

The protection grade of the cable glands can reach IP68, which makes cable glands are widely used in outdoor lighting equipment and other electric equipment.

 And especially large cable glands are often used in outdoor lighting equipment and other electric equipment.

 The rapid development of urban functional lighting has aroused people's attention to life threats caused by safety accidents such as leakage of lighting facilities.

 The importance of cable gland

 In outdoor lighting systems, the distance from the power supply to the lamp holder is generally relatively large. If the power supply to the lamp holder is connected from start to finish, each line will cause unnecessary trouble to the construction and will cause wire waste, which can be avoided by using metric strain relief connectors.

 Some people will doubt that it is  ok to cut a gap directly from the live wire, connect the conductive parts of the wire together, and then wrap a few layers of insulating glue and there it is not necessary to use connectors. Is that true ?

 The benefits of the cable gland

 Firstly, most insulating tapes are prone to aging, and there are potential safety hazards. Secondly, the mechanical properties of the joints directly connected together with wires are very poor. The slight vibration and stretching of the line can easily cause disconnection, and the poor contact of the interface can easily cause heat, which can lead to fire. ; Moreover, the outdoor environment is harsh, and the requirements for waterproof, salt, and aging will be relatively high, and the insulating glue is far from the requirements. However, if high-performance waterproof connectors are used in outdoor lighting, not only simplifies the installation of the power grid, but also all the hidden safety risks will be reduced to a very low level.

 It makes the design and production process more convenient, more flexible, safer, and reduces production and maintenance costs. The appearance of the connector improves the production process.

 The cable gland simplifies the assembly process of electronic products, and also simplifies the mass production process.

 It is easy to repair. If an electronic component fails, the failed component can be quickly replaced when the connector is installed.

 It is easy to upgrade. With the advancement of technology, When the connector is installed, the component can be updated, and the old component can be replaced with a new and more complete component. Increasing the design flexibility. Using the connector allows engineers to design and integrate new products, and when using the component to form a system, there are More flexibility.

 Especially for industrial connectors, sometimes used in harsh environments that require plugging and unplugging, flexibility and safety are even more important.

 In lighting components, in addition to having to adapt to tight spaces, they must also meet various environmental specifications, such as temperature, humidity, and vibration. In addition, they need to provide simple assembly and secure connections. Space and cost savings are also an advantage of these designs.

 The cable glands produced by Saichuang connectors are widely used in outdoor lighting systems. While ensuring a stable and reliable circuit connection, it can also reduce material costs and installation time, while being environmentally friendly and durable.

Halloween prompts year 2 day 10

Danny groaned, blearily raising his head from the nest of blankets and pillows he had made in his apartment. He had smelled something strange.

Something strong enough to wake him from his sleep. Danny got up and stumbled to the front door, cursing his luck for getting a fever so soon into his interdimentional road trip.

Peering out of his open doorway he saw a little kid shivering in the cold, badly hidden behind two trash cans in the mouth of an alley. Danny didn't think twice. In fact he didn't think at all. It wasn't uncommon for an Omega to smell a child who didn't have the scent of another Omega on them and immediately claim that child as thier own, and seeing as his home dimension had exclusively Omegas...let's just say there's a lot of drama in family court and a lot of laws pertaining to this.

So of course the next thing Danny knows is that the kid was bundled up inside his very soft and comfy makeshift nest before Danny passed out.

For the next week Danny had this mysterious fever and he acted like a parent on autopilot, barely conscious as he instinctually cared for the little boy. He made them food and cut them up into tiny bits to feed his baby and if it was handfoods like pizza rolls or sandwich triangles, Danny would hold him in his arms and rock his back and forth, humming softly as his child ate.

Eventually his heat ended (note that omegas from his world don't have heats, they don't have alphas and so they don't even know what a heat is) and Danny was very surprised he has a child in his house. But he and the baby are very emotionally attached to one another. When Danny asked what the little kids name was (and man this kid was little) the kid stared at him in the way little kids do before muttering the world "Clone" followed by what sounded suspiciously like a serial number.

Danny decided, nah. His kid now. Sucks to be the bioparent cause Danny doesn't wanna share.

Somewhere in the city, the bats were freaking out. They had raided a lab and discovered not only had one of them been cloned, but the clone had escaped and no one knew where it was. Cue panicked parental frenzy.

👉👈 what about Omega!Steve turning to cuddle Alpha!Eddie. But Steve is pupped up, heavily pregnant, and it takes him awhile to turn. He would huff, and sure maybe he's breathing a bit heavier then normal, but that's his pup!! His and Eddie's!! He loves being pregnant!!!

But then he goes to wraps his arms around Eddie who's half asleep and-

His stomach is so round and full he can no longer be flush against Eddie's back, can no longer cling to him and wrap his limbs around him. And he doesn't mean to tear up, he really doesn't.

Eddie can immediately sense the shift in Steve's scent and hears him sniffling. He turns wide eyed, heart beating fast out of concern," What's wrong?!" And Steve is just staring at him with the saddest pout and the biggest wettest eyes.

"I-" "is it the pup? Are you in pain? Whats-" "I can't hold you!" Steve whines.

And Eddie....

Eddie laughs. Steve clicks his tongue and glares, which Eddie is immediately apologizing between chuckles. "I thought something was wrong!" Eddie smiles, hand on Steve's cheek. "It is!" Steve scowls.

"Roll over Hot Mama," Eddie taps Steve's hip. "I wanted to lay on this side.." Steve sighs. Eddie shrugs," No issue."

Eddie gets up and walks to the side Steve is on, lightly pushing and helping Steve go to Eddie's side of the bed. Eddie crawls in behind him and wraps his arms around Steve, pulling him back so he's flush with Eddie's front. Steve can't and doesn't want to stop the chirp he lets out. "Better?" Eddie whispers, kissing Steve's cheek. "Better."

Sparks of Life Electrical Activity in Glands?

introduction

Have you ever wondered about the mysterious workings of your body? We often hear about organs like the heart, lungs, and brain, but there's a whole other set of important players called glands that work behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly. In this article, we'll explore the fascinating world of glands, what they are, how they function, and their crucial role in maintaining our health and well-being.

What are Glands?

Let's start with the basics: what exactly are glands? In simple terms, glands are specialized organs in our bodies that produce and release substances necessary for various bodily functions. These substances, known as secretions, Glands electrical can include hormones, enzymes, oils, sweat, and saliva, among others. Glands are found throughout the body, from the head to the toes, and they come in different shapes and sizes.

Types of Glands

Glands are broadly classified into two main categories: exocrine glands and endocrine glands.

Exocrine Glands: These glands secrete their substances directly into ducts, which then carry the secretions to specific locations within the body or to the body's surface. Examples of exocrine glands include sweat glands, salivary glands, and oil glands (sebaceous glands).

Endocrine Glands: Unlike exocrine glands, endocrine glands release their secretions, such as hormones, directly into the bloodstream. These hormones then travel throughout the body, affecting various organs and tissues to regulate processes like metabolism, growth, and reproduction. Major endocrine glands include the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal glands, and pancreas.

How Glands Work

Now that we know the types of glands, let's delve into how they work, particularly focusing on the electrical aspect, as per the remember keyword.

Glands function through a complex interplay of chemical and electrical signals within the body. While many glandular secretions are primarily regulated by chemical signals, such as hormones, the process itself often involves electrical impulses.

In the case of endocrine glands, for instance, the secretion of hormones is triggered by electrical signals originating from the nervous system. These signals prompt the gland to release specific hormones into the bloodstream in response to various stimuli, such as stress, changes in the environment, or the body's internal needs.

Similarly, exocrine glands may also be influenced by electrical signals, particularly in processes involving muscle contractions or nerve stimulation. glands electrical For example, when you eat food, your salivary glands receive electrical signals from nerves in your mouth, prompting them to release saliva to aid in digestion.

Importance of Glands

Glands play a vital role in maintaining homeostasis, which is the body's ability to regulate its internal environment despite external changes. Whether it's regulating body temperature through sweat glands, Glands electrical aiding in digestion through the secretion of digestive enzymes, or controlling metabolism through hormone release, glands are indispensable for overall health and well-being.

Common Glandular Disorders

When glands malfunction or become imbalanced, it can lead to various health problems. Some common glandular disorders include:

Hypothyroidism: A condition where the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough thyroid hormone, resulting in symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and cold intolerance.

Diabetes: A disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels due to insufficient insulin production (Type 1) or the body's inability to use insulin effectively (Type 2).

Hyperhidrosis: Excessive sweating beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature, often due to overactive sweat glands.

Cushing's Syndrome: Caused by prolonged exposure to high levels of cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, leading to symptoms such as weight gain, high blood pressure, and fatigue.

Conclusion

In conclusion, glands are remarkable organs that play a crucial role in maintaining the body's overall function and balance. glands electrical From regulating metabolism and growth to facilitating digestion and temperature regulation, glands are involved in almost every aspect of our health. Understanding how glands work, including their electrical aspects, can help us appreciate the intricate mechanisms that keep our bodies functioning optimally. So, the next time you marvel at the wonders of the human body, remember the unsung heroes working tirelessly behind the scenes – the glands.
