Digestive system inquiry Cows VS Humans

Cow's Digestive system

Cow:    http://youtu.be/svw5KA8YlAA
Human:   http://youtu.be/eWPKEZAzP3M



1.  Why did you choose this topic? A few years ago i watched a movie called food inc and they showed a little bit about a cow's digestive system and i wanted to learn more
2.  How does it relate to what we have learned about the digestive system?this shows us that not every creature in the world has the same type of digestive system
3.  What questions do you NOW have about this topic/digestion? why do some creatures have different ways to digest things than others

I got 5/5

Protein Activity

1. WHAT TYPE OF BOND IS FOUND IN THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE?(BETWEEN AMINO ACIDS) - The type of bond found is polypeptides
2. WHY DOES THE SECONDARY STRUCTURE FORM(ALPHA HELIX)? - The secondary structure forms an alpha helix because the negatives and positives of the bond attract to each other in a way that causes it to spiral
3. WHAT CREATED THE TERTIARY STRUCTURE? WHY DID YOUR PROTEIN LOOK DIFFERENT THAN EVERYONE ELSES? - The tertiary structure is created because the different 'R' groups react differently to each other. Everyone's proteins looked different because everyone had different combinations of 'R' groups acids.
4. HOW WAS THE 4TH STRUCTURE CREATED? - The fourth structure was created by 2 or more structures combining to create the bigger macromolecules
5. WOULD YOUR PROTEIN HAVE THE SAME SHAPE IF YOU CHANGED THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE? EXPLAIN. - yes the shape would change if you change the structure of the primary. All the structures rely on the primary structure!

Colon Cancer Surgery Post

What were you surprised by? -  i was surprised at how big the tumor was in size. i didnt realize that tumors can be that large

What was the most amazing part? -  the most amazing part was when the surgeon was pulling out the colon tumor from the patient

Could you relate the parts they are working on to the colouring sheet, diagrams, or notes we have taken? -  the colon is in the large intestine and we have been doing things like colouring sheet about the intestines and such!

What was the most interesting part? - it was probably when the surgeon was pointing out what part was actually the tumor.

 What did you learn from this that you didnt know before? - i didnt know anything about this before so i learnt everything, like how a tumor is removed and such things like that.
here is a link to the colon being removed!

Effects of Gymnastics on Joints and the Body

 Gymnastics:

Each year over 100,000 gymnastics-related injuries are treated in hospitals, clinics, emergency rooms, and doctors' surgeries in the US alone. On average gymnasts begin at age 4 or 5 and the retire around age 18 or 22. Girls retire earlier then guys because of how bodies are effected by the sport.


Gymnastics stunts growth - it is a sport the compresses the spine due to the pressures of tumbling and such. Most injuries caused by gymnastics that occur in early childhood usually last all through adulthood. Whether it be a fractured ankle, a hyperextended knee, or any other injury, a gymnast will feel the affects of the injuries for their whole lives.  http://youtu.be/k2zMeS5S7Cc  gymnastics injuries

Hyperextensions:

A hyperextension is the movement of joints/tendons/and, or muscles beyond their normal limits.

Hyperextensions can cause major injuries such as: torn ACL, or MCL in the knee, or torn cartilage/ or ligaments in elbows.

Some can cause bone fractures. These types of injuries can end careers. http://youtu.be/rtT3hZSETkE link to below hyperextension viewer discretion is advised you can not unsee this.

Effects of Chlorine/mustard/tear gas on the human lungs in World War 1

My great great great uncle was in World War 1 and he was actually attacked with gas and he survived but he suffered like crazy!My Uncle was a stretcher bearer in the war. he had to sometimes carry away his friends bodies off the battle field. 

In WW1, Germany used gas to try to either kill the enemy or to bring them out of the trenches to be killed.

Some of the symptoms of tear gas on the lungs:

• Coughing
• Burning sensation in the throat 
• Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
• Nausea and vomiting 

            *Skin contact can result in lesions similar to those from frostbite or burns 

• Following exposure to high concentrations of phosgene, a person may develop fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema) within 2 to 6 hours. Exposure to phosgene may cause delayed effects that may not be apparent for up to 48 hours after exposure, even if the person feels better or appears well following removal from exposure. Therefore, people who have been exposed to phosgene should be monitored for 48 hours afterwards.

 Delayed effects that can appear for up to 48 hours include the following:

• Difficulty breathing
• Coughing up white to pink-tinged fluid (a sign of pulmonary edema)
• Low blood pressure
• Heart failure
• Showing these signs or symptoms does not necessarily mean that a person has been exposed to phosgene.

  this is a picture shows how soldiers tried to protect themselves from the deadly gas attacks. 
 in some cases the gases could cause lung cancer. this it what a lung with cancer can look like!


After WW1, Mustard gas was not really used in WW2 but in other wars tear gas has been used and is still used today by police officers and some of the symptoms are very similar. Event ear gas can cause major harms to a human's lungs and body.

For those who were attacked there was no way to crue them so most of the soldiers hit with the gas died but a few survived because the quantity of the gas was to small to kill.

Find & Critique and App

Nike + training club app

Interim Report

Hi Mom and Dad!
This is my interim report for the Human Kinetics Coop.

So far, the highlights for me have been:
all the field trips have been my highlights especially the grouse grind.

I am the most proud of:
with my injured ankle my time on the grind was amazing

The most interesting things I have learned about are:
The circulatory system and what a heart looks like in real life

An example of when I really pushed myself in SuperFit is:
the fitness testing when i pushed myself to keep going on pushups and plank until everyone else was out or dying

I could make improvements in:
my efforts to focus more on task

I am really looking forward to:
all the new experiences we will have for all the fieldtrips we will do.

The Basics - WORK HABITS:

Attendance (classes missed and why) -
None
Participation in field trips (woo kim, grouse grind, rock climbing) -
i have been to all the fieldtrips and they have been awesome

Lates (how many & reasons) -
none

Preparedness for class (gym strip &/or supplies) -

VO2 Max

My VO2 max is 40.9, compared to the average of 35.0 for a female

Grouse Grind

It took me 1hr and 14mins to get to the top, by half way my legs were dying. The muscles in my legs started cramping up around half way.  My breathing rate was real fast same with my heart rate it was so fast I could not count my bpm. Even if I tried to go faster I couldn't my body was just yelling at me to stop, but I pushed through and made it all the way.


I believe we were using the two anaerobic energy systems. but I am not 100% sure.

Heart dissection

Observations and Pictures

 Size: 2 fists together, Shape: a diamond like shape with a rounded bottom, Colour: pinky, purpley, redish

Weight: maybe 2 pounds less when it was thawed

The pulmonary trunk and aorta were a salmon pink in colour, they were strong, thick tubes.

The walls of the VENTRICLES were different on either side on the left side the wall was a good 1-2 inches thick as the right side was only 1-2 cm thick. the left side was much harder to cut through.

The valves and chordae tendinae(looked like string) were very thin but very strong parts of the heart.

the inside of the atria and ventricles were a dark pink, the size of the ventricle was about twice the size of the atria.

 Questions:

1. What was the most surprising thing about dissecting the heart?  Describe what your expectations were and if they were met. Nothing really surprised me in this dissection because I had previously done the same one in grade 8.
2. Why are the atria and ventricles so different (compare their structure to their function)? i am a little unsure as to what is different other than size.
3. Why is the left ventricle more muscular than the right? the left ventricle is more muscular than the right because it pumps more blood to more places.
4. What are function of the heart valves?  Describe how the structure of the valves relates to their function (including chordae tendinae). the function of the valves and chordae tendinae are to stop blood from pooling in the ventricles and to stop blood from squirting back up into the atria
5. Use one of your pictures to trace the path of blood through the heart (add arrows?)

Heart strucure and functions

Structure	Function	DEOXY/OXY BLOOD
LEFT ATRIUM	Pumps blood into the left ventricle	Receives oxygenated  blood
LEFT VENTRICLE	Pumps blood to the whole body(tissue)	Oxygenated blood
RIGHT ATRIUM	Pumps blood into the right ventricle	Deoxygenated blood
RIGHT VENTRICLE	Pumps blood to the pulmonary valve to the lungs	Deoxygenated blood
PULMONARY ARTERY	Transports deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs	Deoxygenated blood
AORTA	The heart’s largest muscular chamber. Pumps blood from left ventricle to the aorta then the aortic valve	Oxygenated blood
PULMONARY VEINS	Carry blood from lungs to left atrium	Oxygenated blood
SUPERIOR VENA CAVA	One of the main two valves brings blood to the heart from the upper part of body, empties into the right atrium	Deoxygenated blood
INFERIOR VENA CAVA	Carries blood from lower half of body to right atrium of the heart	Deoxygenated blood
ATRIOVENTRICULAR VALVES	Separates the atria from the ventricles, allows blood to flow from the atria to the ventricles prevents flow in opposite direction	Both deoxygenated and oxygenated blood
CHORDAE TENDINAE	Protects the walls of the ventricles( fibrous strings)	Both deoxygenated and oxygenated
SEMILUNAR VALVES	Controls the blood from moving back into the ventricles	Both deoxygenated and oxygenated blood
SEPTUM	A wall of muscle that separates the left from the right of the heart	N/A

 

 

 

THE CORONARY ARTERIES AND VEINS

The aorta branches off into two coronary blood vessels (also called arteries). These coronary arteries branch off into smaller arteries, which supply oxygen-rich blood to the entire heart muscle.

The right coronary artery supplies blood mainly to the right side of the heart. The right side of the heart is smaller because it pumps blood only to the lungs.
The left coronary artery branches into the left anterior descending artery and the circumflex artery, supplies blood to the left side of the heart. The left side of the heart is larger and more muscular because it pumps blood to the rest of the body.

Emily's Life

Hey Ms. Phillips, it's Emily Carroll back and ready for your knowledge to be passed on to me! I am a 

competitive gymnast have been for many years. Above is a video my coach made me when she 

found out I was supposed to move to Kamloops,  I didn't end up moving but she still finished the

video any ways. I still do gymnastics today I train 16 hours a week just like last year. Earlier in the 

summer i injured my ankle doing stupid things at gymnastics, so i may not be able to do everything 

in Super Fit, right away because i am still recovering. Over the summer i didn't really do much but 

my dad went to Scotland and on this Friday he leaves for Nanning, China for three weeks to judge

world artistic gymnastic championships. 



I have an older brother, Nicholas, he is 22 and he attends University of Alberta he is going into his 5 year.

I love animals

  my favourite animal is a monkey!

  i also really enjoy movies.

 

i really love gymnastics
