Digestive system/The gift of taste!!!!!

Hey do you like sandwichs, hamburgers, and cheese burgers and pizza right? Well you wouldn't like any of that stuff if you didn't have taste buds(Papillae)and when ever you eat something little signals to your brain to tell it it what it taste like.Foods tasted on the tongue can be  grouped into four categories.Sweet,sour,salty and bitter.There is another thing that makes you chew and that is your saliva and what it does it moistens the food before it goes down so you don't choke!!!
This is the tongue and the categories of the taste buds...


Next were going to talk about the(Esophagus)The esophagus is the tube that goes from the mouth to the stomach it can be found behind the the windpipe and the heart.The esophagus is made of muscular walls and is about ten inches long in an adult.That was kinda a boring video but it gives you an idea.


              
   Know we are going to talk about the stomach and it looks like this..
The stomach is what your food goes to after you chew an swallow it.The stomach has acid in it called hydrochloric acid and the acid has a mucous lining if it weren't for the mucous lining your stomach would of burned up that would have not been fun anyway the acid that is in your stomach can burn a hole in your carpet!!!!!!!!!!!!!WOW. The stuff that stays in your stomach the longest is your fats.If you eat to much fast food you can get obsessed and that means that it is harder for your stomach to take in the food.




  This is an example of food we shouldn't eat.


This is an example of food we shouldn't eat.
I  know it looks good but it is hard for our stomachs to take that in.It is ok to eat it sometimes but not every day because you could become fat.





Now we are going to talk about the small intestine and it is the thing that finishes the presses of digestion and absorbs the neutrinos and passes the residue to the large intestine(WOW)!!!!!!!!!! That is alot for a intestine.



This is the small intestine



Now I'm going to talk about the large intestine the thing that receives residue like I said at the top if you were paying attention anyway large intestine um well its the thing that extends from the ileocecal junction GOSH what a word.............. It also takes the body's unwanted food and then well it comes out!!!!!





          


I hope you enjoyed my blog and hope you had a good Christmas and New year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our Awesome over night feild trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to tell you about my schools over night field trip to Florida for the space shuttle launch but it didn't blast off boooooooooooooo!!But it was still a good trip because on the way up we got to listen to our ipod and hang out with friends.Me and my friend chase could not go to sleep on the first night till like twenty minuets before we got there then one of our friends woke us up.When we got our rooms we got our room mates mine were Kenneth,Chase and Zak.Our teacher in our room was Mr.Sellers and he was fun cause he lets us watch movies on his projector.When we got un packed we had some down time to rest then we rode our coach bus to the Kennedy Space center and it was cool because we could see the rockets that were used before they started using the NASA Space Shuttle.Let me show you guys a pic of the rockets they used to use and the new space shuttle.

The last one is NASA'S new shuttle.All of those are in order in when they were used the small ones the people did not go in it was to test to see if they would go in space.The larger ones had tiny capsules and 1 to three astronauts can fit in there.The rockets fell to the ground and the capsule would orbit around the earth the shuttles stay with you and both of the rockets on the side of the shuttle would fall off then when you got into space the fuel tank will fall off the rockets that fall of before you get into space land in the ocean and are meant to be used again but the fuel tank id the only thing that is not used again.


 A caosule orbiting around the earth.
That is what we were going to see but it was cannceled so we went to the beach and had fun and made some memories.Then after we played at the beach we went back to the Keenedy Space center and went on the shuttle simulater again and it was so much fun.The night before that we ate pizza at pizza hut wich was fun.Then the next night we had dinner at the motel.The next morning we got up at 6:30 and took our showers and we drove home on the way we stoped at micdonalds for breakfast and wendys for lunch it was good.We had a good ride back hanging out with our friends and when we got back to the school all of the parents were there and happy to see us and then we went home so it was a good trip I hope to do it again thanks teachers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you guys enjoyed!!

The awesome circulatory system!!!!!!




Today I will be telling you a little about the circulatory system the circulatory system is made up of the heart,and your blood vessels,and the blood.Blood is a connective tissue that is made up of several parts.Together the circulatory system transports oxygen nutrients and wates through the body.




  Did you enjoy that video it give you an idea what the circulatory system is in a fun rap!!!
   


The pump in the circulatory system is the heart.Made mostly of muscle tissue,the herat is really a doble pump.It can recive blood from the lungs and pumps it to the body.At the same time.  


 Now im going to be talking about the heart there is a atrium and the atrium lets the blood in and ventricloe and that pumps it out.     
That is your heart and you can see that it looks a little gross but its whats keeping you alive!!

The red blood cells carrys oxygen threw out your bodys cells.The white blood cells are bigger than red blood cells but there are more red blood cells than white blood cells.
The plasmsa is mostly water and that is what makes your blood liquid and 91% of your blood is liquid and the 45% of your blood is is solid.

Blood types the most common types are A,B,and O if you have O you are a universal doner wich means you can donate to all the blood types.If your AB you can recive from any blood types.Iam a positve and it is important to know you blood type because if your in a serious car accident or any kind of accident when you would lose your blood the doctor could help you faster.So thats why its important to know your blood type.                            

     Hope you enjoyed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

I'm going to be talking about something different stuff today are "ghost real or fake" we are going to find out by some pictures of peoples opinion but first i'm going to tell you some stories about why I believe in ghost!!!
 What happened was that I was washing my hands and there was no dogs in the house and something came up and licked me on mt leg and it freaked me out!!!!!Omg I was so freaked out!!!!So I did not know what to do so I just ran down stairs..Let me show you a picture of a ghost dog....

That is kinda an idea what I saw/felt but the one I saw licked me.Would you freak out???

Another time was when I was sleeping in my bed and I was about to fall asleep when something touched me but I was on the other side so I could not see it so I could not go back to sleep until like 3:00 in the morning and finally I fell asleep!!!!!!!
Thats a freaky picture!!!!!

I was waching this tv show and the family had this ghost in there house and the if you took a picture of the place where ghost was.The ghost would write in the air and you could see what the ghost wrote on the picture but the ghost was not evil.Some ghost are good.But how do we know that how can we use science to find out???????Look at this picture and tell me if you think this is real??

Tissues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey today im going to show you guys some different kinds of tissues like Covering,muscle,epithelial,and connective tissue..The reason why I put that in gray is because I think that was extremly boring.Now im going to show covering tissue.Covering tissue is the skin of the body you have herd of skin right ok you have now lets look at a picture of it...............That is skin tissue at the top boring huh but it gives you an idea.????
The next one is my favorite type of tissue the MUSCLE tissue and the muscle tissue is the one that builds up muscles and helps them function!!Look at the pic!!!
That is a way better picture than the one that I just posted but anyway that gives you an idea on how muscle tissue look!!

Now im going to tell you a little about the conective tissue and the conective tissue is what holds the body together I would think that would be important wouldent you of cores you would or you would be a big blob of fat on the ground if we did not have are bones and conective tissue!


That is a picture of the connective tissue..


This is the last one I promis!!!!!And it is called the epithial tissue this one is a little boring but you could not live without it sooo like it!!!!!!It is bacically your kidneys and organs and all of that fun stuff I going to show you a picture of it sooo you will get a better idea..

Different types of Algae..Lets go!!!!!!!!

Hey im going to tell you guys about some of the different types of Algae to get an idea look at the picture and it is showing you one of the types of algae its called red algae and it lives in the ocean.There are all different kinds of algea and let me tell you what they are..There is Euglenoids,Diatoms,Dinoflagellates and finally the last tone cause that was kind of boring its Red brown and green algae!!!!Wow that was long!!This is red algae and it is in water but mostly in salt water.When is releases oxygen it helps the plant but the funny thing is that if it releases to much it can kill the plant.
  This is red algae this is what I was talking about in the first part of my blog.

This is brown algae it also lives in water sorry I forgot to tell you all ALGAE lives in water but you probably already knew that.
This is green algae and this is mainly in pounds as you can see its floating in a pound ha..




This is Euglena it is one celled algae it is both plant like and animal like coooool!!!!It can use chlorophyll to make its own food so basically chlorophyll makes its own food.It has flagellum and eye spot to help it find the light.So I guess you can say its the most POPULAR of its kind.
This is a pic/layout of the uglena.

We only have to more were almost done.Ok lets move on to Diatoms..Diatoms are fragella unicellular organisms that have a yellow brownish chloroplast and I think I told you what chloroplast were during my blog.They also enables photosynthesize wow long word huh sorry bout that.
This is a pic of diatoms.

Now for the moment we have been waiting for the last ALGAE Dinoflagellates
Dinoflagellates are unicellular protist which exhibit a pretty sweet diversity of form
Here is a small but cool pic of dinoflagelates!!!
HOPE YOU ENJOYED!!!!!!!!!

Amoeba and Peramecium head to head

Most protists have only one cell just like bacteria cool!!!But a few have many cells.The cool part is that they have a nucleus.Some protists make their own food just like plants but the others just absorb food from other things.Look at the pic at the top I know its kinda boring but it gives you and idea of what it looks like.I guess your wondering how many protist exist ummmm about 60,000 kinds of protist exist.That a lot for just how little they are!







This is a short clip on Amoeba in motion.But any way im going to tell you guys the difference between the animal like protist.Amoeba has a false foot called pseudopod that was a big word any way back on topic.The pseudopod is used to move around and to trap food.They can live on rocks and they can also live on plants and in pounds:)

 Parameciums moves by using tiny hairs to move around.The organisums called cillia are often found in ponds.I know this is random but i would never swim in a pond
This is a picture of Parameciums and there are two they are just side by side.You can see that the are kinda long and the Amoeba is kinda round..

You better wach out for bacteria!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Capsule
 is the layer of the polysaccharide usally protiens defend the bacterial cell and is usally associated with pathogenic bacteria cause it severs as a barrier threw phagoctosis by white blood cells..

Outer membrane
This is a preety cool pic I guess..
 this lipid bilayer is found in the negative bacteria and is the source.
 preety cool huh...

Cell wall
 comosed to the peptidogly can the cell wall maintains to the avarage shape of a bacteria cell.Some of the primary shapes in bacteria are coccus.....I hope im not boring you ha..

Peiplasmic Space
 Space this cellular part is located only in thoes bacteria...only wow...they also both have an outer membrane and plasma membrane...cool.In the space are enymes and differnt protines that support and digest and move nutrients threw the cell..
 
Plasma membrane
this is a lilid bilayer very familiar to the cytoplasmic membrane of other cells....AWESOME
 





This is a video tells you guys a little about plasmids hopr you like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pathogens and Resistance, Diphtheria

This is a picture of the deadly disease diphteria.You dont want to run into  or catch this disease.
A long time ago there was a disease called the black death.It was killing alot of people.Really sad if you ask me.People were thinking that God was punishing them thats rong to think that.Then they found out that it was a bacterial disease.Years later they found a cure..YES.
Diphtheria is a very deadly disease.It usually attacks the the throat and nose.Basically places where you dont want it to attack.Diphtheria is caused by a word called ''corynrbacterium''.WHERE IS DIPHTHERIA FOUND.It is usally found in the mouth,noes'throat,or skin of diseased people.I wouldent want that.thats why if your around sick people wash your hands after every thing you do.
This is an example of what will happen if you get Diphteria..gosh i hope i dont get that
