Descriere:
Those hundreds of powerful suckers on octopus arms do more than just stick. They actually smell and taste. This contributes to a massive amount of information for the octopus’s brain to process, so octopuses depend on their eight arms for help. (And no, it's not 'octopi.')

And similar to our arms it uses them to grab things and move around. But that’s where the similarities end. Hundreds of suckers on each octopus arm give them abilities people can only dream about. “The suckers are hands that also smell and taste,” said Rich Ross, senior biologist and octopus aquarist at the California Academy of Sciences. Suckers are “very similar to our taste buds, from what little we know about them,” said University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, cephalopod biologist William Kier. If these tasting, smelling suckers make you think of a human hand with a tongue and a nose stuck to it, that’s a good start. It all stems from the unique challenges an octopus faces as a result of having a flexible, soft body. “This animal has no protection and is a wonderful meal because it’s all muscle,” said Kier. So the octopus has adapted over time. It has about 500 million neurons (dogs have around 600 million), the cells that allow it to process and communicate information. And these neurons are distributed to make the most of its eight arms. An octopus’ central brain – located between its eyes – doesn’t control its every move. Instead, two thirds of the animal’s neurons are in its arms. “It’s more efficient to put the nervous cells in the arm,” said neurobiologist Binyamin Hochner, of Hebrew University, in Jerusalem. “The arm is a brain of its own.” This enables octopus arms to operate somewhat independently from the animal’s central brain. The central brain tells the arms in what direction and how fast to move, but the instructions on how to reach are embedded in each arm. Octopuses have also evolved mechanisms that allow their muscles to move without the use of a skeleton. This same muscle arrangement enables elephant trunks and mammals’ tongues to unfurl. “The arrangement of the muscle in your tongue is similar to the arrangement in the octopus arm,” said Kier. In an octopus arm, muscles are arranged in different directions. When one octopus muscle contracts, it’s able to stretch out again because other muscles oriented in a different direction offer resistance – just as the bones in vertebrate bodies do. This skeleton of muscle, called a muscular hydrostat, is how an octopus gets its suckers to attach to different surfaces. --- How many suction cups does an octopus have on each arm? It depends on the species. Giant Pacific octopuses have up to 240 suckers on each arm. --- Do octopuses have arms or tentacles? Octopuses have arms, not tentacles. “The term ‘tentacle’ is used for lots of fleshy protuberances in invertebrates,” said Kier. “It just happens that the eight in octopuses are called arms.” --- Can octopuses regrow a severed arm? Yes! ---+ Read the entire article on KQED Science: https://www.kqed.org/science/1391513/if-your-hands-could-smell-youd-be-an-octopus ---+ For more information: The octopus research group at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gN81dtxilhE ---+ More Great Deep Look episodes: You're Not Hallucinating.

Pregătim opțiunile de descărcare
Site-ul http://unidownloader.com/ este cel mai bun mod de a descărca un videoclip sau o piesă audio separată, dacă doriți să faceți acest lucru fără a instala programe și extensii.
Extensia UDL Helper este un buton convenabil care este integrat perfect în site-urile YouTube, Instagram și OK.ru pentru descărcarea rapidă a conținutului.
Programul UDL Client (pentru Windows) este cea mai puternică soluție care suportă peste 900 de site-uri web, rețele sociale și site-uri de găzduire video, precum și orice calitate video care este disponibilă în sursă.
UDL Lite este o modalitate foarte convenabilă de a accesa un site web de pe dispozitivul mobil. Cu ajutorul său, puteți descărca cu ușurință videoclipuri direct pe smartphone.
Cele mai bune formate de calitate sunt FullHD (1080p), 2K (1440p), 4K (2160p) și 8K (4320p). Cu cât rezoluția ecranului dvs. este mai mare, cu atât mai mare ar trebui să fie calitatea video. Cu toate acestea, există și alți factori de luat în considerare: viteza de descărcare, cantitatea de spațiu liber și performanța dispozitivului în timpul redării.
Browserul/computerul nu ar trebui să se blocheze complet! Dacă se întâmplă acest lucru, vă rugăm să raportați acest lucru cu un link către videoclip. Uneori, videoclipurile nu pot fi descărcate direct într-un format adecvat, așa că am adăugat posibilitatea de a converti fișierul în formatul dorit. În unele cazuri, acest proces poate utiliza în mod activ resursele computerului.
Puteți descărca un videoclip pe smartphone-ul dvs. utilizând site-ul web sau aplicația PWA UDL Lite. De asemenea, este posibil să trimiteți un link de descărcare prin cod QR folosind extensia UDL Helper.
Cea mai convenabilă modalitate este să utilizați programul UDL Client, care acceptă conversia videoclipurilor în format MP3. În unele cazuri, MP3 poate fi descărcat și prin intermediul extensiei UDL Helper.
Această funcție este disponibilă în extensia UDL Helper. Asigurați-vă că "Show the video snapshot button" (Afișați butonul de instantaneu video) este bifat în setări. O pictogramă a camerei ar trebui să apară în colțul din dreapta jos al playerului, în stânga pictogramei "Setări". Atunci când faceți clic pe ea, cadrul curent din videoclip va fi salvat pe computer în format JPEG.
Nu costă nimic. Serviciile noastre sunt absolut gratuite pentru toți utilizatorii. Nu există abonamente PRO, nu există restricții privind numărul sau lungimea maximă a videoclipurilor descărcate.
