Endocrine System

  Are you saying "what is the Endocrine System is?"Well I am Writing about it in this blog.
 
  The first thing you are going to learn about is the Pituitary gland.The Pituitary gland is located near your brain and is the size of a pea.It tells your body to grow.Girls tend to grow earlier than boys,but boys grow for a longer period of time.
 Here is a picture of the pituitary gland.

The next thing that we are going to talk about is the Pancreas.The Pancreas controls your sugar levels by creating hormones.These hormones are called insulin and glucose.Insulin works to take away glucose(sugar)so you don't have to much sugar in your bloodstream.Glucose have an opposite effect on your sugar levels,it raises your blood sugar when they are low.If your pancreas does not produce enogh insulin you may have type 1 diabetes.

Blood types

  What are blood types?That is the question we are going to be answering.There are four types of blood groups.They are A,B,AB,and O.You need to know your blood type because if you are in an accident and you need more blood.I don't know what my blood type is yet.It is important donated blood because if you get some other blood donated the former blood cells will die.
    The O group are called universal doners because they can donate to any blood group,but they can only recieve blood from the O group.The AB group can recieve blood from any group,but can only donate to the AB grop.The B group can not donate to the A group.
           Thats it,hope you found what you were looking for.

Digestion

       This blog is on Digestion and how it works.Did you ever wonder how you digest food?         Well you will learn about that in a very short period of time
                                                                                                                                                              The first thing is that digestion begins in your mouth.You use your teeth to chew and make your food smaller so you can swallow.These little things called salivary glands produce saliva constantly so you can chemically break down food.You are probably wondering how you taste your food.These little things called are called taste buds and each set can only taste one type of flavor.After the food is broken down your tongue pushes your food down your esophagus.

                                                                                                                                                                In the esophagus there is a muscle contraction which pushes the food down into the stomach.In the stomach there is a chemical that breaks down food and it is called hydrochloric acid.The reason the acid can be in your stomach is that your stomach has a layer of mucus that protects your stomach from being burned.                                                                                                                                                                               

 

                                                                                                    The next part of digestion is the small intestine.The small intestine starts from the stomach.The small intestine can be from thirteen to twenty feet long!Wow that is pretty long.These little things called villi absorb nutrients to get sent to the rest of the body.Once the food gets to the end of the small intestine it is the beginning of the large intestine.

                                                                                                                                                                The large intestine starts at the end of the small intestine.The large intestine is 5 feet long!It is shorter than the small intestine but it is wider.The large intestine's main job is to remove water from the waste so you do not get dehydrated.When the food is completely dry it is sent to the rectum.The waste piles up then goes to the anus.When it gets there your in the bathroom.



Here is a video on the process of Digestion.

 Well that is my blog and I hope you enjoyed it.

Wierdest House ever

  This building is supported by a small shaft for an elevator and was built in the late 1900's and it has at least 67 windows.I would not really want to live in this house because if the bottom catches on fire you would be stuck in it.It has tiny ladders on the corners so you can get down if there is an emergency.The bottom is probably 30 feet from the ground.It has ten floors and an eleventh floor with no roof on top.It has a wall on every side of it.I just wonder what would someone do with all that space.The person who created this building is Mr. Jhonny E. Masters.This building is one of the oldest buildings in the bolgarianbuilding services.

Shreiner Trip

  The week of October 31-November 6 the school I go to went on a big trip.The trip went to Florida to see the Kennedy Space center and see the space shuttle go off.I am going to be blogging about what I did with my school and how I felt.
   On Monday November 1 most of my school and I got on a coach bus to go to Florida.We left at 9:00.It was a 9 and a half long drive.We were suppose to go to sleep on the drive down,but I only went to sleep from 4:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.I was not very comfortable to go to sleep in the bus.We watched a movie until midnight and then some people went to sleep.Then at 2:00 a.m. we stoped at a gas station and it took a while to get gas.Later at 4:00a.m. I passed out in the most uncomfortable position with my head laying on my pillow on my lap facing forward.Later when we stoped at 6:30 a.m. I fell on the floor and woke up.It took about 30 mins. to get checked in.
  The next day at 8:00 we went to breakfast and went to the Kennedy Space center for the whole day and left at 6:00 p.m. and went to Pizza Hut at 8:00 p.m.

Ghost!!!!!!!!!! BOO!!

    Does science explain everything and have an answer.Does our society have room for the paranormal.In old times when a volcano erupted the people thought that the volcano gods were mad at them.Now things can be told by science,or can it not.Well it is not up to me to tell that they exists or they don't.Personally I think that they are real.My science teacher is creeping me and my class out with a bunch of scary videos on ghosts.
    For example,one time my mom and I came home from Tennessee and I saw a car go right through a building.
    Well leave me a comment on if you believe or if you don't.

The Circulatory system

Do you  know what the circulatory system is made up of.If you don't this is the blog for you.We are going to be learning what the circulatory system is made of.

   The circulatory system is made up of veins,the heart,blood,arteries,and capillaries.Capillaries
are these things that connect the arteries to the veins.

    I love this style of letters.Now here is an awesome song on the Circulatory system.
