Video: The Sensory System: Definition, Parts & Functions. This lesson will examine how the sensory systems are integrated and how they function as a whole. Instead of telling you ears hear and eyes see, we will examine how these systems are actually very similar in terms of reception, signals, and translations.
Mercury is a silvery-white metal element that is liquid at ordinary room temperature; it has no taste or smell. It occurs as metallic mercury (Hg), as cinnabar (HgS) and in perhaps 25 other in organic mineral compounds. The elemental form (Hg) vaporizes at any temperature down to almost 40Â° below zero. The vapor also has no taste or smell. The specific gravity of mercury is 13.546; therefore, it is heavier than lead and, like lead and other heavy metals, it is a potent poison. Exposure to metallic mercury or mercury compounds, even in small quantities over a period of time, can cause severe poisoning.
Mercury's most well known feature is The Great Red Spot   Answer   Since you spelled mercury with a small m. I'm assuming you are referring to the element and not theâ¦ planet.   The most notable thing about mercury is that it is one of only two (debatable three) metals that is a liquid at room temperature.
