he use of the internet in teenagers

The Internet has now become an indispensable tool in the lives of people.

overflows everything that has happened up to now, it is becoming the "global communication
medium".

young people spend a large part of the day navigating pages, posting on social networks, or

Using the internet for entertainment is not a bad thing in itself. The bad is to abuse. The world of
the web is full of very useful knowledge, the ideal would also be used in that facet, and not just as
a way of leisure.
What are the damages that can lead to Internet addiction ?. Because the adolescent spends

friends "

THE HEART.
The heart is the main organ of the circulatory system. Its function is to propel the
blood to the whole body. Located in the mediastinum, it is made up of four cavities -
two atria in the upper region and two ventricles in the lower one - the aorta and
pulmonary arteries, the inferior and superior venae cavae, the bicuspid, tricuspid,
aortic and pulmonary valves and three protective layers: the pericardium, the
myocardium and the endocardium.

A thick partition separating the right and left areas prevents blood from passing
directly from one side to the other. To arrive at the place from which it started, the
blood flow must travel the general circuit and the pulmonary circuit. In general, the
blood, rich in oxygen, is sent from the left ventricle to the aorta and from there it is
transported to the whole body by other arteries and capillaries. Go back through the
veins cavas with plenty of waste to the right atrium. In contrast, in the pulmonary
circuit, the blood, laden with impurities and carbon dioxide, is conducted from the left
ventricle to the pulmonary arteries through which it reaches the lungs, is oxygenated
by these organs and undertakes its return to the left atrium .

When it pushes the bloodstream it contracts, and when it receives it, it dilates. These
movements are systole and diastole and its set is called cardiac cycle or heartbeat.
The movements of the heart valves to allow or impede the passage of blood are

"Poetry" by Eugenio Montejo (poem)

Poetry crosses the earth alone,

support your voice in the pain of the world
and nothing asks
-not even words.

It comes from far and without time, never warns;

He has the key to the door.
Entering always stop to watch us.
Then he opens his hand and hands us

but so intense that the heart beats
too fast. And we wake up.

EJEMPLO

The north of Chile could be hit again by a mega-earthquake, similar or even greater
than the one happened on April 1, 2014 of magnitude 8.3, warned scientists from the
United States Geological Survey (USGS for its acronym in English) in an
investigation published by the journal Nature.

The report states that despite the April earthquake, the risk of a major earthquake in
that region remains extremely high. With the theory of the seismic gap, an area of
dangerous seismic risk had previously been located in northern Chile with sufficient
potential to generate mega-earthquakes (+8.0).

Experts from the USGS and its associated agencies revealed that the April
earthquake did not break the entire seismic gap in northern Chile, so there is still
great seismic potential to generate a movement of similar or even greater magnitude
than occurred at the beginning of that. month.

"Despite the magnitude of the April earthquake, the risk in the area remains the same
or even greater," said seismologist Gavin Hayes.

When it pushes the bloodstream it contracts, and when it receives it, it dilates. These
movements are systole and diastole and its set is called cardiac cycle or heartbeat.
The movements of the heart valves to allow or impede the passage of blood are
fundamental. Under normal conditions, the heart rate of humans varies between
sixty-seven and seventy-four beats per minute. The beats can be perceived by
placing the hand on the left chest area, or by gently pressing other sectors such as
the fingertip or temple.
