ANIMAL FARTS

Apparently cow farts are responsible for

burn off the methane as it comes out of the cow and turn it into the less
problematic carbon dioxide they could make millions of dollars from carbon
credits. Does anybody have any ideas?

URINE
Urine?
Liquid waste. The urine is a
clear, transparent fluid. It normally has an amber color. The average
amount of urine excreted in 24 hours is from 40 to 60 ounces (about 1,200
cubic centimeters). Chemically, the urine is mainly an aqueous (watery)
solution of salt (sodium chloride) and substances called urea and uric
acid. Normally, it contains about 960 parts of water to 40 parts of solid
matter. Abnormally, it may contain sugar (in diabetes), albumen (a
protein) (as in some forms of kidney disease), bile pigments (as in
jaundice), or abnormal quantities of one or another of its normal
components.

ANSWER
What would cause human urine to be
cloudy?
The kidneys have important functions in removing
nitrogenous wastes and maintaining the chemical and fluid balance of the
body. It does this by excreting/secreting into the urine water, urea, uric
acid, urate salts, carbonates,calcium, phorphorus, sodium, potassium,
ammonium ion and bicarbonate ion, etc. A cloudy urine can be caused by
precipitation of crystals and amorphous salts. Phosphates and carbonate
salts precipitate in alkaline urine and can be redissolved by acidifying
the urine with acetic acid. Uric acid and urates can be redissolved by
heating the urine to 60C. Urate salts also dissolve in acidified urine.
Other causes for cloudy urine are: leucocytes(pus), bacteria, red blood
cells, spermatozoa and prostatic secretions in men, in women contamination
of the collected urine specimen from vaginal secretions and finally, mucus
secreted from the urinary tract.

ANSWER
HICCUPS HICOUGHS
What are
hiccups and what causes them?
Hiccup: A hiccup is an
extraordinary type of respiratory movement involving a sudden inspiration
(intake of air) due to an involuntary contraction of the diaphragm
accompanied by closure of the glottis (the vocal apparatus of the larynx).
The abrupt inspiration is the result of a sudden contraction of
the diaphragm. Closure of the glottis then halts the incoming air. The
column of air strikes the closed glottis to produce the characteristic
sound: a hiccup.
Hiccups are often rhythmic. They are usually just
a minor nuisance, but prolonged hiccups can become a major medical
problem.
The word "hiccup" was in use by 1530. It is an instance
of onomatopoeia, the imitation of natural sounds by words. Alternative
forms of "hiccups" include "hiccough" and "hickup."
Singultus: A rarely used medical word for an ordinary
hiccup.

ANSWER
Can an unborn baby get the Hiccups?
Yes. It is thought by most obstetricians that the unborn
baby does hiccup. It cannot be definitely proven, but babies are often
observed prior to birth with real time sonography as well as fetal
electrocardiography and act as though they are having hiccups.
