Biological clock
Biological Clock, a popular term for an internal regulator responsible for various cyclical responses in living things. Both plants and animals show yearly, monthly, daily, and other rhythmic changes that appear to be genetically programmed. Daily rhythms are called circadian rhythms (from the Latin circa dies, "about a day"). Research suggests that mammals have a biological clock that it is located in the hypothalamus of the brain, in a small area called the supra-chiasmatic nucleus.
Various circadian rhythms can be observed in people. The most obvious is the alternation of wakefulness with sleep. Disruption of the human circadian rhythm can temporarily upset the body. For example, when a passenger flies across many time zones in a few hours, the discomfort called "jet lag" results. In a few days, however, the person's biological clock adjusts to the new time.
Most cyclical responses occur at approximately the same time as changes in such external factors as light and temperature, suggesting that they are somehow caused by these external changes. Many of the seasonal changes in animals and plants are influenced by changes in day length. For instance, the decreasing amount of daylight in the fall triggers internal changes in some species of birds, causing them to migrate. Germination and flowering of plants generally occurs in the spring and summer when there is more daylight. However, experiments have shown that external factors are not always involved. For example, fiddler crabs in their natural habitat become darker in the morning, lighter in the evening. Yet when they are placed under constant environmental conditions (such as constant light) the daily rhythm of their color changes persist.
Scientists generally believe that various circadian rhythms are controlled by different mechanisms. For instance, many cycles respond to both external and internal stimuli, some cycles respond to external stimuli only, and a small number respond to internal stimuli alone.

Biological clock
Relógio biológico
Biological Clock, a popular term for an internal regulator responsible for various cyclical responses in living things.
Relógio Biológico, um termo popular para um regulador interno responsável por várias respostas cíclicas nos seres vivos.
Both plants and animals show yearly, monthly, daily, and other rhythmic changes that appear to be genetically programmed.
Tanto as plantas como os animais apresentam alterações rítmicas anuais, mensais, diárias e outras que parecem ser geneticamente programadas.
Daily rhythms are called circadian rhythms (from the Latin circa dies, "about a day").
Os ritmos diários são chamados de ritmos circadianos (do latim circa dies, “cerca de um dia”).
Research suggests that mammals have a biological clock that it is located in the hypothalamus of the brain, in a small area called the supra-chiasmatic nucleus.
A pesquisa sugere que os mamíferos têm um relógio biológico localizado no hipotálamo do cérebro, em uma pequena área chamada núcleo supraquiasmático.
Various circadian rhythms can be observed in people.
Vários ritmos circadianos podem ser observados nas pessoas.
The most obvious is the alternation of wakefulness with sleep.
O mais óbvio é a alternância da vigília com o sono.
Disruption of the human circadian rhythm can temporarily upset the body.
A interrupção do ritmo circadiano humano pode perturbar temporariamente o corpo.
For example, when a passenger flies across many time zones in a few hours, the discomfort called "jet lag" results.
Por exemplo, quando um passageiro voa através de vários fusos horários em poucas horas, ocorre o desconforto denominado “jet lag”.
In a few days, however, the person's biological clock adjusts to the new time.
Em poucos dias, porém, o relógio biológico da pessoa se ajusta ao novo horário.
Most cyclical responses occur at approximately the same time as changes in such external factors as light and temperature, suggesting that they are somehow caused by these external changes.
A maioria das respostas cíclicas ocorre aproximadamente ao mesmo tempo que mudanças em fatores externos como luz e temperatura, sugerindo que são de alguma forma causadas por essas mudanças externas.
Many of the seasonal changes in animals and plants are influenced by changes in day length.
Muitas das mudanças sazonais em animais e plantas são influenciadas por mudanças na duração do dia.
For instance, the decreasing amount of daylight in the fall triggers internal changes in some species of birds, causing them to migrate.
Por exemplo, a diminuição da luz solar no outono desencadeia mudanças internas em algumas espécies de aves, fazendo-as migrar.
Germination and flowering of plants generally occurs in the spring and summer when there is more daylight.
A germinação e a floração das plantas geralmente ocorrem na primavera e no verão, quando há mais luz do dia.
However, experiments have shown that external factors are not always involved.
No entanto, experiências mostraram que fatores externos nem sempre estão envolvidos.
For example, fiddler crabs in their natural habitat become darker in the morning, lighter in the evening.
Por exemplo, os caranguejos violinistas em seu habitat natural ficam mais escuros pela manhã e mais claros à noite.
Yet when they are placed under constant environmental conditions (such as constant light) the daily rhythm of their color changes persist.
No entanto, quando são colocados sob condições ambientais constantes (como luz constante), o ritmo diário das suas mudanças de cor persiste.
Scientists generally believe that various circadian rhythms are controlled by different mechanisms.
Os cientistas geralmente acreditam que vários ritmos circadianos são controlados por mecanismos diferentes.
For instance, many cycles respond to both external and internal stimuli, some cycles respond to external stimuli only,
and a small number respond to internal stimuli alone.
Por exemplo, muitos ciclos respondem a estímulos externos e internos, alguns ciclos respondem apenas a estímulos externos e um pequeno número responde apenas a estímulos internos.

- Embora 'to bother' e 'to pester' possam ser traduzidas como "incomodar" em português, elas têm nuances distintas.
- A palavra 'to bother' é usada para descrever uma situação em que alguém causa um incômodo leve ou perturbação, mas sem ser excessivamente insistente ou irritante. Pode-se dizer que 'to bother' é um incômodo mais suave, que não causa grande desconforto. Veja o exemplo:
- Could you please turn down the music? It's bothering me. (Você poderia abaixar o volume da música? Está me incomodando.)
- Por outro lado, 'to pester' é usado quando alguém está sendo persistente, insistente ou irritante de forma repetitiva. É um incômodo mais intenso e pode causar frustração ou aborrecimento. Veja o exemplo:
- Stop pestering me with your constant questions! (Pare de me incomodar com suas perguntas constantes!)
- Em resumo, 'to bother' é um incômodo mais leve e 'to pester' é um incômodo mais persistente e irritante.

Another reason to choose a mate wisely
By Nicholas BakalarHappily married people tend to have lower blood pressure than their single peers, but being single may be healthier than being unhappily married, a new study suggests. The study, published on March 20 in The Annals of Behavioral Medicine, sampled 303 generally healthy men and women, 204 married and 99 single. Each responded to questions about marital quality, social support and mental health. Scales were used to rate stress and life satisfaction.
Then each subject wore a portable blood pressure monitor for 24 hours while performing their
normal activities. The groups had little difference in waking blood pressure, but married people had significantly larger dips in blood pressure during sleep. People whose blood pressure does not dip during sleep are at higher risk for cardiovascular disease, according to Julianne Holt-Lunstad, the lead author and an assistant professor of psychology at Brigham Young University.
normal activities. The groups had little difference in waking blood pressure, but married people had significantly larger dips in blood pressure during sleep. People whose blood pressure does not dip during sleep are at higher risk for cardiovascular disease, according to Julianne Holt-Lunstad, the lead author and an assistant professor of psychology at Brigham Young University.
On average, the unhappily married had higher daytime and 24-hour blood pressure readings than single people. Having a wide social network had no effect on the trends for either married or single people. But marital satisfaction was significantly associated with satisfaction with life, lower stress, less depression and lower waking blood pressure. “Just being married per se isn't helpful,’’
Dr. Holt-Lunstad said, “because you can potentially be worse off in an unhappy marriage. So, choose wisely.’’
