Female and Male Dissection Movie Blog 11

The video on the human dissection really surprised me because I never would have thought that the surgeons would be so calm about it. I found it difficult to learn because the main guy that was speaking had a horrible accent. However I did find it beneficial by actually viewing body organs and certain parts instead of imagining them. When they did the dissection of the male reproductive system I was shocked to actually find out that the uretha was huge. Connected to the entire male reproductive organs. Overall I found the dissection to be quite astonishing.

Urine is a helpful diagnostic tool because urine protein patterns can serve as diagnostic tool for testing. Urine samples can detect a lot of dangerous things such as clamitia.

Blog 9 Pig Dissection

Out of all the dissections the class has done, I found the pig disecction to be the most easiest. My group really did a good job dissecting the pig, and I got a up close look at great examples of body organs. When I disecctd the mink, I really did not feel as if I got to see anything, but the pig was easy and clear. I even got the chance to see an example of a brain and the formation of the small and large intestine. I was not to disgusted with the dissection because I was to busy actually trying to view all organs possible. It was not a human disscetion but it helped create a more better idea of the different types of systems that the human body posseses.

Blog 8 Digestive System What I Learned

I learned that the digestive system is made up of the digestive tract or a series of organs that help break down and absorb food. Organs that make up the digestive tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. I learned the importance of the digestive system is to break down food into smaller molecules in order for it to be absorbed into the blood and carried throughout the body. Digestion is the process by which food and drink are broken down into their smallest parts so the body can use them to build and nourish cells and to provide energy. It is a very long and complicated process that involves many gastric juices.

Protect Yourself From Diseases #6

Disease are most common in poor undustrialized countries and because of lack funds, disease are inevitable for experiment and treatments. But since I live in the U.S, many diseases are shared by drug usage and sexually transmitted intercourse. For me I feel that my protection might slighly be different from others. For instance I can make sure I have all my shots and vaccines that will protect me from such disease like hepititus. I should not so drugs at all, or anything involving needles. I should also pay more close attention to the exchanges of fluid in intercourse or anything. Checking in with the doctor for any new vaccines is also a good way to protect myself. Basically I would say that any individual must be aware of themselves when it comes to infectious diseases. Make sure you are on the look out of others around you.

Blog 3 Mechanisms That Control Breathing

One major mechanism of breathing is Ventilation. The two are inhalation and exhalation whiach are controlled by the nervous system and respiratory muscles. In inhalation the air moves in causing the lungs and ribcage to expand. By doing this, the diaphram contracts downward because of inhalation. The mechanism of exhalation is Diaphram relaxes upward, the lungs and ribcage compress, and eventually the air is let our through the mouth. I would say that the lungs, oxygen and air ventilation are the major keys when it comes to controlling any humans breathing.

What Scares Me About the Plague Video Blog 4

The Plauge video that I saw in class was a very interesting video. Mainly what got me was how bacteria becomes resistant to certain antibiotics over time. Eventually, many of the antibiotics that are used to protect ourselves from diseases do not work anymore. This means that bacteria has evolutionized and have become stronger to resist the antibiotics. Yet at the same time, the video made me apprehensive because the video is stressing how antibodies are not working anymore. It makes mw wonder about my health issues as for everyone else.

Facinates and Confusion of Cardiovascular System Blog 2

First of all the cardiovascular system should facinate every human being. What I find amazing is how so many organs and different body parts work together and do lots of work just to keep your heart breathing. A heart beat seems so simple because we are living daily and breathing is easy. Then when the entire process is explained to me, there is a buzz as to how crazy the system works. What i find confusing is probably learning why things like the ventricles, veins, and vessels do what they do which is always the confusing part to me when it comes to the human body.
