Objective 2: Pimples

One day in class during lecture Mrs. Gess was talking about blood and how the white blood cells help in defending our body against infection. Well as we were talking she said something about the macrophages, well macrophages when they die turn into pus. Now every time I see a pimple I think about popping it to see the dead macrophages.

objective 2: Centrifuge

The other night my mom and I were watching House and the girl doctor was using a centrifuge machine to test one of the patients blood. it was soo coll because I asked mom if she knew what that was and ofcourse my mom didn't know what it was, so I was able to tell her what it does- that its used to separate the different components of blood so you can see what is in the blood. I just thought that was so cool, plus she thinks im smart now, lol.

Objective 2: Everywhere I Go I See Anatomy & Physiology

In class Mrs.Gess  always seems to be  going back to the topic of sludgy blood. Every system can contribute to sludgy blood. All the term slugdy blood refers to is just that, our blood is thick and sludgy. When things dont make it out of our system and stay and get caught up in our blood our blood becomes sludgy. And hello, sludgy blood isn't good for our bodies. The sludgier our blood becomes, the hard it is for it to travel through our vessels, therefor increaseing our blood pressure, and no needs to have high blood pressure. There are many different things that can cause our blood to become sludgy: antigens aka bad guys, too much oxygen or carbon dioxide, differnet waste materials, and even too much water in our blood.

Objective 3

At first I didn't really like the Physio ex. assignments, I just thought they were dumb and time consuming. However, after Valerie started asking me questions I was able to answer correctly, not because I remembered from lecture but because I had just saw the results of different hormones on my Physio ex the night before. She was asking me about estrogen  and how it relates to the follicle stimulating hormone. I remember reading in the lab book in the Physio ex. portion about how the FSH is what stimulates the production of estrogen.

This is Mrs. Gess showing up precipitation. It's hard to believe even for her but you can break the bonds of water and create a solid. The precipitants are the "damdruff flake" floating around in the bottom of the tube. Sssooooooooooooo cool!!!!!!

Objective 8: Safety

In Anatomy our group always tries to follow all the safety precautions while we are in the lab. Here are a few pictures that help demonstrate how you're supposed to handle thing in the lab.



Before and after lab we always clean our table with a 10% bleach solution,because you never know if the people before you cleaned the table whenever they left and we don't know what they may have used the table for. We clean it after lab even if we haven't disected anything or used any chemicals.

We always wear our goggles and lab coats when we are disecting anything. The hat was jus extra that night.

We always place the microoscope back in the bags, and place the back in the cabinets where we got them from.

Objective 6 & 31: Just like South Carolina Roads, What road am I on now??? (obj.6)

It was until my PTA class that I actually really understood these arteries and the pathways they take. Dr.Buchanan explain it on morning an it just clicked in my head. Hear is a video that I created to help explain these oxygen rich road ways.



There is one more part to the aorta that was not mentioned in the videos- the assending aorta, it is the artery that supplies blood to the lower extremeties. It too like the others branches off into many other smaller arteries. 

Objective 71,72,75:This Takes Sex To a Whole New Level

I found this video helpful in explaining the ovulation process. The text moves a little bit fast so I just pause it, read it, then hit play and keep on goin.

They were simply made for each other:

This is how the spermatozoa move through the female reproductive tract.

They all go rushing to the egg but only one gets in.

It first enters the vagina then moves to the cervix then to the uterus, it continues its journey through the fallopian tube where it then finds its lover the wonderful egg.

Okay so this video is a little quirky but it made me laugh and it shows the order of how food travels down our alimentary canal just bear with her. The pronunciation is a little off but the video still seemed pretty neat to me.
