Stomach Flu

The stomach flu is also known as Viral Gastroenteritis. I choose this because I always hear of people having a stomach flu, but I never knew why it happened and how it was caused. This relates to what we've been learning because when you get a stomach flu your stomach, small intestine and large intestine lining is inflamed. My only main questions now are how they get inflamed and what is the main cause of the inflammation.

The main symptoms of viral gastroenteritis are

• watery diarrhea
• vomiting

Other symptoms include

• headache
• fever
• chills
• abdominal pain

Symptoms usually appear within 12 to 48 hours after exposure to a gastroenteritis-causing virus and last for 1 to 3 days. Some viruses cause symptoms that last longer.

Digestion Animation Quiz

I got 5/5 

Heart Disection

Questions:


1. I was most surprised about how all the veins and arteries were weaving by each other and all in close corridors. It felt how I expected it to and was really cold, I was surprised with the amount of ice in the heart as well.
2. They are different because the atria are smaller and just pushing the blood down into the ventricles and in the ventricles it builds up and gets pumped out to where it has to go.
3. It is more muscular because it is getting oxygenized blood and it has to pump the blood out further.
4. The valves are suppose to control the blood flow in the heart and make sure no blood goes back up from where it came from. The structure is very strong because the chordae tendinae were able to provide control of the valves.
5. I have lost my pictures.

Biological Molecules Lab

These are all my observations/pictures I took during yesterday's labs. 

Balloon Lung

Protein Lab

Primary - 

Secondary - 

Tertiary - 

Quaternary - 

Questions:

1. Polypeptides are found.

2. They form because of polar peptide bonds.

3. It formed from the R groups covalent bonds, H bonds and repulsion. 

4. It's formed by 2 or more polypeptides stuck together because of their bonds.

5. It would be similar but the bends where the bonds connect would be in different places on the primary structure.

Spinal Cord Injuries

It can either be a complete or incomplete injury if it's complete spinal cord injury it can't send signals below the level of the injury. That's when you become paralyzed. If it's incomplete you have some movement and sensation below the injury. Spinal cord injuries are medical emergencies, immediate treatment can reduce long term effects. Some treatments may include medicines, braces or traction to stabilize the spine and surgery. Later treatments usually include medicines and rehabilitation therapy. Most people end up with mobility aids and assistive devices. I chose this injury because I was really interested in finding out what happens to cause someone to be partially or fully paralyzed.

Interview

Biology- I believe that I've learned and caught on to lots of the work in this class and that I understand it well, but I know that I'm not very good at getting the blogs done and staying focused in class. I feel like I would be around the 75% mark for this class.
 
Exercise Science- This class is very much similar to Biology just the only difference is that I don't feel like I get as much of the in class work sheets done, but I do get more of the blogs done. In this class I feel like I would be around the 78% mark.

Super Fit- For this class I believe that I've done very well and that my fitness has improved a lot, but I still believe I haven't given it my all for some of the fitness testing a and believe that I can do better. Also I have missed some blogs for this class so I believe I would be around the 90% mark for this class.

25 Minute Run

 I was able to get 7 laps in in 25 minutes and felt like I could run forever !
