         The human brain is a grayish-pink,jellylike ball with many ridges and grooves on its surface.It is the control center for movement,sleep,hunger,thrist,emotions such as love,hatred,fear,anger,elation and sadness,and other important activities necessary for survival.It also receives and interprets the countless signals sent to it from other parts of the body and from the external environment.

        The largest part of the brain is the cerebrum,making up about 85 percent of the weight of the entire brain.A thin layer of nerve cell bodies  called the cerebral cortex forms the outermost parts of the cerebrum.Most of the cerebrum beneath the cortex consists of the nerve cell fibers.Some connect parts of the cortex;others link the cortex with the cerebellum,brain stem,and spinal cord.The cerebrum is divided by a fissure(large groove)into halves called the left cerebral hemisphere and the right cerebral hemisphere.These are connected by bundles of nerve fibers,the largest of which is the corpus callosum.Each hemisphere is divided into four lobes and and each lobe is named after the bone of the skull that lies above it.

        The second part of the brain,the cerebellum,is located below the back part of the cerebrum.It is responsible for balance,posture,and the coordination of movement.The cerebellum consists of a large mass of closely packed folia,leaflike bundles of nerve cells.It has right and left hemispheres that are joined by a finger-shaped structure called vermis.Nerve pathways connect the right half of the cerebellum with the cerebral hemisphere and the right side of the body.Pathways from the left half connect with the right cerebral hemisphere and the left side of the body.

        The brain stem,the third part of the brain,is a stalk-like structure located at the front part of the cerebellum.It links the cerebrum to the spinal cord and controls various autoatic as well as motoric functions.Lying between and below midbrain,pons and modula ablongata.Those three are connected to the cerebellum by nerve bundles called cerebellar preduncles.

             Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10,the Apollo 11 astronouts made their historic landing on the surface of the moon.This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study;from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon,scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its composition.               The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon.The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil.Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.               In addition to the Moon soil,astronauts gathered two basic types of rocks from the surface of the Moon:basalt and breccia.Basalt is a cooled and hardened volcanic lava common to the E

             During the heyday of the railroads,when Ameria's rail system provided the bulk of the country's passenger and freight transportation,various types of railroad cars were in servive to accomplish the varied tasks handled by the railroads.One type of car that was not available for public use prior to the civil War,however,was a sleeping car,ideas for sleeping cars abounded at the time, but these ideas were unworkable.It unfortunately took the death of a president to make the sleeping car a viable reality.               Cabinet-maker George M.Pullman had recognized the demand for sleeping cars and had worked on developing experimental models of sleeping cars in the decade leading up to the Civil War.However,in spite of the fact that he had made successful test runs on the chicago and Alton Railroads with his models,he was unable to sell his idea because his models were too wide and too high for existing train stations and bridges.In 1863,after spending time working as

         Today ,the most universally known style of both men and women is jeans;these trousers are worn throuhout the world on a variety of occasions and in diverse situations.Also called levis or denims,jeans have an interesting history,one that is intermixed with the derivation of the words jeans,denims,and levis.               The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of plants developed.In the sixteenth century,sailors from Genoa,Italy,wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers.In the French language,the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes;this name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the descendents of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.               Similar to the word jeans,the word denim is also derived from a place name.In the seventeenth century,French tailors began making trousers out of a specialized t
