Hello 7th grade,
Tuesdays class started off with checking if everyone did their homework. A reminder to everyone, you should keep doing your homework and not stop because it is the end of the year. Ms D also told us that we are going to dissect on Thursday and that we can decide with whom we want to work together. We then got our cell labs back. After that, we started going over the muscular system and the chapter 3 notes. After that completed the heart and the circulatory system diagrams.
Here are just some of the questions and answers that we reviewed during class.
How many muscles approximately are in the human body?
The human body has approximately 600 muscles.
What are three types of muscle tissue?
· Skeletal muscle (biceps/triceps)
· Smooth muscle (stomach/blood vessels)
· Cardiac muscle (heart)
What is a tendon?
A tendon is a strong connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone.
Section 5: The Skin
What are the five main functions of the skin?
· Protecting the body
· Maintaining temperature
· Eliminating wastes
· Gathering information
· Producing vitamin d
Uv
Gamma
X ray
IR
Visible
Radio
Microwave
Ms D also told us about this man who had a led filling in his teeth. He could hear special radio signals because of the led filling.
Chapter 3
Section 1: The Body’s Transportation System
What does the cardiovascular system include?
· Heart
· Blood vessels
· Blood
What are its main functions?
· Removing wastes (CO2 out)
· Delivering needed materials (gets O2 to cells)
· Fighting disease (NRG and nutrients C,N,O,H get to cells)
Arteries- caries red blood and nutrients to cells (from heart to body)
Veins- caries blue blood and waste from cells (from body to heart
Capillars- arteries plus veins meet= O2 nutrient exchange for waste. Most of them in lungs/ alveoli
What we learned in class relates to life because we now know more about what we have inside our body and how our body works. We can also take better care because we know what organs need.
Homework and reminders
Human system quest on June 1st ( there is going to be a study session on Monday may 31st during lunch.

The next scribe is .......... KKKAAATTT and Gio
Hey Antonia!
ReplyDeleteJust a quick note, you should also add Gio as your next scribe person, along with Kat.
Along with what Julia said before, you should also arrange the words next to the picture a bit 'cause it gets hard to read.
ReplyDeletePS: This isn't my formal blog comment.
Hey Antonia!
ReplyDeleteNice job on this post =)
For future reference, I would suggest you make sure your sentences are put together correctly, and the grammar as well.
I remember learning these things before, so it's nice to see it again, and be reminded of how things like cells, veins, blood vessels and all that work in your body!
Hey Antonia,
ReplyDeleteSince I did most of this last year it's great to review this kind of science by reading a scribe like this. I love the colors you used and the fact that the paragraphs were so neatly spread out. Another thing I really liked was the picture you added at the top of the vessels. I think, you perhaps could have expanded on the section notes by writing what they do in full sentences. But, all in all, it was fantastic.

Hey Antonia, :)
ReplyDeleteIt's very helpful to review the things we learnt last year, especially with the diagram and the clear expanse of facts. The colors you used made sense, and were very appropriate for this type of post. Everything was easy to read, and simple. However, I do believe that you could have explained the picture at the top and expanded on a few of the facts such as the ones about the muscular system.
Final summation: it was a very good blog.

Good work Antonia, it looks like you had fun with learning about the human body. However I would suggest that you add more formatting into it because some of it is a little bit hard to read and also adding a few more pictures wouldn't hurt. Otherwise good work...Gregor
ReplyDeleteAntonia - nice font choice for this Scribe Post - it is easy to read and you have not used too many colors to be distracting to the reader. You do have a few spelling and grammar errors throughout, make sure to proof your work before publishing. I think you could have included some more pictures and links to aid your reader, but the two you have are helpful. Plus, I am not sure what happened to your overall format - did you try to publish a picture that did not work? Finally, good work including a real-life paragraph about this class. Overall, nice job. ~Ms. D.
