To test whether your eyes are swollen, gently press two fingers on the soft, cushy areas below your eyes, on either side of your nose. This is where the maxillary sinuses are located. Beneath the skin, these sinus cavities filter out dirt and bacteria through mucus drainage.
Corduroy is found in the construction of trousers, jackets and shirts. The width of the cord is commonly referred to as the size of the wale (i.e. the number of ridges per inch). The lower the wale number, the thicker the width of the wale (e.g., 4-wale is much thicker than 11-wale).orduroy is made by weaving extra sets of fiber into the base fabric to form vertical ridges called wales. The wales are built so that clear lines can be seen when they are cut into pile. The primary types of corduroy are:
The spinal cord is a long, fragile tubelike structure that begins at the end of the brain stem and continues down almost to the bottom of the spine (spinal column). The spinal cord consists of nerves that carry incoming and outgoing messages between the brain and the rest of the body. It is also the center for reflexes, such as the knee jerk reflex (see Figure: Reflex Arc: A No-Brainer). Like the brain, the spinal cord is covered by three layers of tissue (meninges). The spinal cord and meninges are contained in the spinal canal, which runs through the center of the spine. In most adults, the spine is composed of 26 individual back bones (vertebrae).
