Interesting Digestion Post

The most important work of digestion takes place at the small intestine. It breaks down the food we eat into molecular components which get absorbed into the bloodstream. There are three parts to the small intestine, the duodenum, the jejunum, and ileum. Bile from the gallbladder, and the digestive enzymes from the pancreas are mixed into chyme in the duodenum. The final breakdown and absorption of nutrients happens in the jejunum and ileum. The nutrients are absorbed by microscopic projections along the lining of the small intestine called the villi. This can also lead to health problems, because lack of absorption of vital nutrients.

I increased my sets for deadlifts from 3 to 4 on my second week which really helped me reach my goal. All the exercises I did before doing my last excercise the deadlifts really helped me reach my goal because every exercise made my back stronger so when it came to the deadllift I was able to lift heavier the next time. My back day is either Wednesday or Thursday, Monday is usually arms, Tuesday I like doing sholders, Thursday is usually my ideal day to do chest, I rest on Fridays, than legs are on Saturdays, and Subday I repeat a muscle, usually chest. I also started a healthier meal plan consisting a lot of protiens and less fats which helped build more muscle and I noticed eating healthier gave me more energy when I worked out.

Pig Dissection

Observations: The pig was much smaller than I expected it to be, and it actually looked fake, like it was made of plastic. When we cut it open the hardest thing I found to identify were the small and large intestines, they were squished into one so you couldnt tell which one was which. Everything else was suprisingly easy to indentify. Such as the lungs, heart, kidneys, and etc. The pig had no teeth but a tounge that stuck out of its mouth. 













Interesting Urinary Post

I decided to do my post on kidney stones because it has happened to people I knew so I wanted to know what caused this to occur. The stones itself are made of mineral and acid salts. The stones form when urine becomes concentrated, allowing minerals to crystallize and stick together. Passing the kidney stones can be painful but they usually do not cause any permanent damage.Depending on how severe it is, you might just need to take some medicine and drink lots of water to pass a kidney stone. It other situations people that are suffering from it a lot may need surgery to remove the stones.







Goldstone PE Project Final Reflection


1) The second time around we were more organized, which made it more fun for us and the kids.

2) A big challenge was getting the kids to listen to us especially the second time around because we had 60 kids.

3) My favorite moment as a leader was watching the kids have fun playing the games we had set up, that made the class a success for me.

4) I need to improve getting the kids attention faster and talking to them if they are not behaving.

PE Buddies

1) I learned that little kids never get tired even if they spend the whole class running.

2) Yes some of the kids still remember my name and wanted to be my buddy again so that was cool.

3) My favorite part of being a buddy was when they would make me laugh by doing the silliest things, it was a great experience.
