Biological Molecules Lab

This picture was taken before I put the Iodine drops onto the food that is labeled above.

This picture was taken after the iodine drops were put onto the food. The bread and the cracker turned black (The darkest) because of the starch

This was the oil test. Oil was the most oily. 

This is each food in the test tubes before putting the benedict solution in it.

The two pictures above is with the benedict solution in it before it was put into the heated water.

This is the test tubes with each food item inside with the benedict solution heating up.

The two pictures above are the test tubes with the benedict solution after it has been heated up for about 5 minutes and taken out. The first test tube fourth test tube and sixth test tube are all negative, the rest are positive.

My 6 week exercise plan

My fitness goal overal is to become for strong and more fit. I want to start eating a healthy diet and exercising a lot more. I really want to improve my stamina and I would do that by increasing the amount of cardio I do. I also want to work on core strength and strength overall. In order to meet my goals over the 6 week plan I need to be committed and be focused on what I want to achieve. I will be recording all my results and hopefully see improvements as the weeks go on. I will also be comparing my beep test score and all that I write down when doing any sort of fitness testing, at the end of the 6 weeks I will compare and see what I improved in most. I want to work on my stamina because I play sports and that is probably what I lack most in which is not convenient for me. I also want to prove my self wrong because I hate running when it's not during a sport, I get bored easily and tend to just give up. 

I will post my workouts weekly. 

Protein lab

1) the bond is found between the amino acids in the primary structure is peptide bond.

2) the secondary structure forms a alpha helix because the (-) and the (+) attracts causing them to form a alpha helix from the peptide bonds. 

3) the repulsion and covalent bonds created the third structure when the protein was twisted and bent. It looked different because there are 20 different variables which can make different combinations. 

4) the fourth structure was created when two or more amnio acids and the variables repelled or attracted. 

5) the protein would not have the same shape if the primary structure was changed because the R group attraction and repulsion determines it. 

Skeleton

Bones missing: phalanges, cranium, facial bones, tarsal, carpal bone, metacarpal bone and pectoral girdle.

colon surgery video

Colon Cancer Surgery Reflection

  After watching the video I thought it was really col to see how they inflated the persons stomach with Co2 to have more space and better view for the surgery. The video I watched went on for quite a while and it was crazy to see how slowly but how much co2 was put into the persons stomach and how much it expanded. It was really disgusting yet interesting to see how things from inside look and I find it crazy how doctors actually touch, cut and move things from your body.  I learnt that the colon is a part of our large intestine. Another interesting fact is that you do not have to receive symptoms to have colon cancer it could be growing inside you for a couple years. A way to find out is after a body scan and the cause of colon cancer is when your cells do not function properly.

When  the doctors were pumping in the CO2, to inflate the abdomen to have a better view and more space.

Staples used to connect the small bowel to the colon.

OSTEOARTHRITIS

OSTEOARTHRITIS

Osteoarthritis is  known as degenerative arthritis, or degenerative joint disease or osteoarthrosis is the most common form of arthritis, and it affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the protective cartilage on the ends of our bones wears down over time. Symptoms of the disease include joint pain, tenderness, stiffness & locking.
   Even though it can affect any joint in our body, the disorder is most commonly affected in our joints in our hands, knees, hips, and spines. Osteoarthritis, over time worsens & has no existing cure. However, staying fit, maintaining a healthy weight, and various other treatments can slow the disorder and improve pain and joint function.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and is the leading cause of chronic disability in the US. *It affects approx. 1.9 million people in Australia. 8 million people in the UK and shockingly nearly 27 million people in the US.*

 I have chosen to do my post on Osteoarthritis, because my mom works with old/ ill people and I have heard that illness before but was not very aware of what it was exactly.  After doing some research i have gained much knowledge on this.

Respiration lab

Intro: the process of external gas exchange takes place between air and lungs. 02 goes into blood from air through the alveoli and CO2 goes into alveoli into air from blood, because of cellular respiration. 

Part A: The result of the aerating of limewater remain the same there were no changes. However, the test tube we breed came cloudy. 

Part B: The beaker that was aerated  turned blue/green the beaker with the other distilled water that was breathes into turn orange/yellow. Therefore, aerated was neutral and breathed into one was strong acid. 

Part C: breast taken in one minute were 28, 25 and 18. The numbers in 30 seconds are basically half the amount of one minute except are kind of higher, for example 18 breathes per 30 seconds. This means we should be taking in more breathes.

Questions: 

Part A:

1). The change in color in the limewater indicates that the CO2 we breathe out reacted with the limewater to create a solid precipitate

2). The purpose of the control test tube is to see the difference between both the tubes and what causes the changes to the limewater, it shows which variable causes changes and in this case it was our breathing out into the limewater.

Part B:

3). The change in color of the universal indicator means that the air we breathe out is as Citic and the aerated beaker is neutral.

4). The purpose of the control beaker is to again see what to combination show results and to compare.

5). In the test beaker of water, both of the beakers remained the same. However, when the universal indicator was added the beaker that was aerated turn to neutral and a bluish green color and the beaker that was breed into turn acidic, into a orangey yellow colour. 

7). Are blood does not become acidic because our blood contains HHB, hydrogen with hemoglobin molecules which do not become acidic.

8). The breathing rate at 30 seconds increase compared to the rate in 60 seconds. I think since they only have 30 seconds to breathe it cost them to hyperventilate and breathe faster in the 30 seconds. 

Lung inflation and deflation lab

The diaphragm is relaxed there is no air in the lung.

My interesting facts:

My interesting facts: 

Why Is It Dangerous to Hold Your Breath While Scuba Diving?

When you attempt scuba diving for the first ever time the one cardinal rule that is drummed into you is ‘never, ever hold your breath!’ Whether you are scuba diving for the first time and just want to know the basics or whether you are a seasoned diver. This will help to explain the importance of breathing continually whilst under the water

In order to explain the importance of continually breathing under water we need to look into the physics. Pressure is everything in scuba diving and as you may know the deeper you descend the more the pressure increases. If you think of your lungs for instance, when you take a deep breath above water and then descend five metres, the pressure on your lungs increases and so the volume of your lungs decreases. Even though you haven’t breathed out any of the air you took in on the surface. 

So Why is Holding Your Breath So Dangerous?

Looking back to the science described above, we can see as we descend the pressure on our lungs increases and our lung volume decreases. So when we do the opposite and ascend the higher we ascend on one breath of air the more the pressure decreases and the more our lungs expand.

This can lead to two major problems

The first is an air embolism which basically means the extra air from the expanded lungs gets released into the blood stream. Bubbles in the blood are incredibly dangerous and can lead to a number of problems, most of which will either lead to a long stay in a hyperbaric chamber or death. The second problem that could happen (and this is even rarer) is for your lungs to tear.

Reports

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

So far, the highlights for me have been: Doing field trips with the class and hopefully having a class pet. I also enjoy doing all of our classes except english.


I am the most proud of: keeping up with my blog, and attending/enjoying class


The most interesting things I have learned about are: how the human heart works and how blood flows through the body. I enjoy learning about physical activity and the benefits of it.


An example of when I really pushed myself in SuperFit is: when i Did the hill run I wanted to stop but i pushed my self to keep going.


I could make improvements in: continuing to post my blogs, studying more.


I am really looking forward to: more field trips!


The Basics - WORK HABITS:

Attendance (classes missed and why) - I had to go grad dress shopping

Participation in field trips (woo kim, grouse grind, rock climbing) - Was grad dress shopping the day of wee kim, really aick for the grouse grind and rock climbing i attended and had a lot of fun.

Lates (how many & reasons) - sometimes im changing.

Preparedness for class (gym strip &/or supplies) -so far always if no gym strip i still particitpate

Class time management (are you using your class time to complete your work?  engaged in class discussion? participating? following along? doing your best? or talking too much? ) -yes, I pay attentiopn because what we learn about interests me.

Blog assignment completion - (out of 8 assignments) Comments? 6 or 7 i will post the ones im missing.

Heart Dissection

Observation on External Anatomy:
  My observations on the heart external anatomy are that the size of the heart was very similar to what  I expected it to be and the shape was obviously not shaped as a heart but round at the top and pointy at the bottom. The color of the heart was pinkish-purple and was much darker and red inside then the outside. Also, the weight was actually decently heavy due to all the muscle, It felt very squishy and cold because it was frozen The atria and pulmonary trunk were on top of the heart and the aorta is the large hole and pulmonary trunk is like an open flap next to the aorta kind of underneath it.

Internal Anatomy:
  My observations on the hearts internal anatomy are that the left wall is a lot more bigger than the right wall it has a lot more muscle and works harder than the right side it also has the atria and ventricle. The chordae tendinae and the AV valves looked similar on both side, however the chordae tendinae felt like hard strings that would not stretch and AV valves were pink, soft and mushy. Some other observations that I made were that the internal part of the heart is a darker- red color and much harder.

Questions:

 1. The most surprising thing about the dissection would be to see what the heart looks like and be able to have a hands on experience, and the left side of the heart was so much thicker than right because of all the muscles.
2. The atria and ventricles are different sizes because the atria only has one job to collect and squeeze blood into the ventricles. Then the ventricles are larger because they need to contract the blood.
3. The left ventricle is more muscular than the right ventricle because the left ventricle pumps blood to the entire body and right only does to the lungs. 

4. The left AV Valves (mitral) function is to close when the left ventricle contracts to prevent back flow of the blood from the left atrium and right AV Valve function is to close when the right ventricle contracts. Then the blood from the ventricles are able to go out of the heart into the blood vessels during contraction. Mitral and tricuspid valves open when the ventricles relax, to let blood to enter the ventricles from the atria.

Heart Anatomy Structures

Heart Anatomy Structures

STRUCTURE	FUNCTION	DEOXY/OXY BLOOD
LEFT ATRIUM	Receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins and pumos in to the left ventricle.	Oxy
LEFT VENTRICLE	Pumps oxygenated blood through the aortic valve into the aortic arch and to all the tissues in the body.	Oxy
RIGHT ATRIUM	Blood enters through the surperior and inferior vena cava and pumps into the pulmonary veins and around the lungs.	Deoxy
RIGHT VENTRICLE	Passes blood through the pulmonary valve and through the pulmonary artery and to the lungs.	Deoxy
PULMONARY ARTERY	Carries blood from the heart to the lungs.	Deoxy
AORTA	The aorta is the largest artery in the body.Begins at the top of the left ventricle, the heart's muscular pumping chamber. Heart pumps blood from the left ventricle into the aorta through the aortic valve. Three leaflets on the aortic valve open and close with each heartbeat to allow one-way flow of blood.	Oxy
PULMONARY VEINS	blood vessels that carry blood to the heart. Pulmonary Veins are responsible for carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.	Oxy
SUPERIOR VENA CAVA	one of the two main veins bringing de-oxygenated blood from the body to the heart. Veins from the head and upper body feed into the Superior Vena Cava, which empties into the right atrium of the heart.	Deoxy
INFERIOR VENA CAVA	also known as the posterior Vena Cava, is the large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower half of the body into the right atrium of the heart.	Deoxy
ATRIOVENTRICULAR VALVES (Mitral & Tricuspid)	on the right dorsal side of the mammalian heart, between the right atrium and the right ventricle. The function of the valve is to prevent back flow of blood into the right atrium.
CHORDAE TENDINAE	/ heart strings, are cord-like tendons that connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and the mitral valve in the heart.
SEMI LUNAR VALVES (Pulmonary & Aortic)	Seperate the ventricles from major arteries. Aortic: It prevents blood flowing back into the heart from the arteries. Pulmonary: prevents backflow of blood from the pulmonary trunk (artery) into the right ventricle
SEPTUM	The main function of the septum in heart is that it acts as barrier in between the two ventricles of the heart. It divides the heart in such a manner that it divides right and left ventricles the septum. It does not allow the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.

This year I chose to take co-op. I chose to take co-op because I was interested in Kinetic science and thought that the super fit everyday would be an advantage in using that time to get more fit.

Outside of school I played soccer and regularly play other sports for fun.
Over the summer I wasn't as active as I wish I was and I want to spend this year using every opportunity to stay in shape and improve on my fitness.

My fitness goals for this semester is to push my self to be better and ultimately become for fit.

Overall i'm looking forward to this semester and doing all the activities we have planned to do.
