Virtual Memory Fundamentals
Virtual memory provides the separation of user logical memory and physical memory.
- Only part of the program needs to be in memory for execution; therefore, the logical address space is greater than the physical address space.
- It allows address spaces to be shared by multiple processes, which results in less swapping.
- It allows pages to be shared during
fork(), leading to faster process creation.

Essential Bioelements and Biomolecules
Primary Bioelements: Carbon (C), Oxygen (O), Hydrogen (H), Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Sulfur (S). These are highly abundant, making up 98% of living matter. Carbon is the most characteristic, as it forms the long chains that serve as the basic structure of living things.
Secondary Bioelements: Calcium (Ca), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Magnesium (Mg), and Chlorine (Cl).
Trace Elements: Also known as vestigial elements, these make up less than 0.1% of the

Mummification: Post-Mortem Drying
Mummification is the drying of the body through evaporation of water from its tissues, allowing external forms to persist for a long time. The essential factor in this process is the rapid drying of the body, which prevents the development of germs and inhibits ordinary putrefaction. Mummification can be natural or artificial.
Natural mummification begins in the exposed parts of the body: face, hands, and feet, later spreading to the rest of the body. These parts

Primary Visual Cortex
Q1: Why is the primary visual cortex called the striate cortex?
Question: 1) Why is the primary visual cortex often called the “striate” cortex?
Answer: It is called the striate cortex because, under the microscope, layer IV contains a visible stripe (the line of Gennari) formed by dense bands of myelinated axons arriving from the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). This distinct striation gives V1 its name and marks the major input layer that separates it from other cortical
