Protien Lab
2) In the secondary structure polar peptide is formed between the amino acid, which causes the chain to twist.
3) It is due to the interactions between R groups, convalent bonds, it bonds, repulsion. It depends on primary structure in the a.a sequence. My protein would look different than everyone else because of the different letters.
4) Two or more polypeptides stick together.
5) Yes the shape structure would change if I changed the primary structure because there would be different amino acids meaning different interactions and different types of bonds.\

My interesting post
- Tobacco smoke is harmful to smokers and nonsmokers. Cigarette smoking causes many types of cancer, including cancers of the lung, esophagus, larynx (voice box), mouth, throat, kidney, bladder, pancreas, stomach, and cervix, as well as acute myeloid leukemia. Smoking reduces your lungs' ability to remove germs, dirt and the chemicals you expose yourself to when you smoke. The chemicals that cause cancer get trapped. The alveoli absorb the oxygen you breathe in and then get rid of the carbon dioxide as you exhale. When the alveoli become damaged, your lungs and heart must work harder to take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide, which leads to chronic lung disease.In addition to raising the risk of cancer, smoking also reduced the ability of the lungs to function. In particular, smoking reduces the vital capacity of the lungs, which is the amount of air the lungs can take in. This reduction in vital capacity has several important health effects.

Interim
This is my interim report for the Human Kinetics Coop.
So far, the highlights for me have been: the beep test, the rock climbing trip
I am the most proud of: my beep test score
The most interesting things I have learned about are: the heart, my respiratory system and how it works.
An example of when I really pushed myself in SuperFit is: When I did my first beep test, I had to really push myself to beat Ms.Phillips.
I could make improvements in: class by working harder at times and push my self a little more in super fit.
I am really looking forward to: Learning more about the human body in biology.
The Basics - WORK HABITS:
Attendance (classes missed and why) - Missed some classes due to soccer.
Participation in field trips (woo kim, grouse grind, rock climbing) - I went to all except the grouse grind.
Lates (how many & reasons) - Sometimes because i take long eating at lunch.
Preparedness for class (gym strip &/or supplies) - always
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? ) - I complete all my work, I sometimes get distracted but I try to engage in class discussions.
Blog assignment completion - (out of 8 assignments) Comments?

Heart Disection
The heart was a lot bloodier than i thought it would be. It made me sick looking at the heart and how real it was. It was bigger than i expected and didn't really look like a heart but more like a piece of meat.
I didnt see the heart in person but looking at the pictures i can see that the inside is a lot bloodier and lighter than it is on the outside. The heart looks like it will be soft and mushy from the inside.
2) the atria only has one job to collect and squeeze blood into the ventricles. The ventricles are larger because they need to contract the blood.
3) The left ventricle pumps blood to the entire body while the right only pumps blood 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 valves(tricuspid) function is to close when the right ventricle contracts. Then the blood from the ventricles can go out of the heart and into the blood vessels. Mitral and tricuspid valves open when the ventricles relax and let blood enter the ventricles from the atria.

Heart Anotomy

-Coronary arteries and veins are the blood vessels that supply blood and carry blood away from the heart muscle. The left coronary arteries supply blood mainly to the left side of the heart and vice versa.
STRUCTURE
|
FUNCTION
|
DEOXY/OXY BLOOD
|
LEFT ATRIUM
|
*collects returning oxygen rich blood
*Forces blood into mitral valve into left ventricle.
|
Oxy
|
LEFT VENTRICLE
|
* Largest and strongest chamber in heart.
* Ventricle wall only half inch thick but still forces blood through aortic valve.
|
Oxy
|
RIGHT ATRIUM
|
* Collets oxygen poor blood.
* Forces it through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle.
|
Deoxy
|
RIGHT VENTRICLE
|
* Collects oxygen poor blood from right atrium.
* Forces it into pulmonary valve and into lungs.
|
Deoxy
|
PULMONARY ARTERY
|
* Carries blood from heart to lungs to pick up oxygen.
|
Deoxy
|
AORTA
|
* Largest artery
* Carries oxygen rich blood from heart to rest of body
|
Oxy
|
PULMONARY VEINS
|
* Carry oxygen rich blood from lungs back to heart.
|
Oxy
|
SUPERIOR VENA CAVA
|
* Oxygen poor blood returns from upper parts of body to heart.
|
Deoxy
|
INFERIOR VENA CAVA
|
* Oxygen poor blood returns from lower parts of body to heart.
|
Deoxy
|
ATRIOVENTRICULAR VALVES (Mitral & Tricuspid)
|
Tricuspid- controls blood flow from right atrium to right ventricle.
Mitral- Controls blood flow from left atrium to the ventricle.
|
Deoxy/Oxy
|
CHORDAE TENDINAE
|
- bring right ventricular walls closer together during contraction
-pull the AV Valves open during atriole systole.
|
Left oxy
Right deoxy
|
SEMI LUNAR VALVES (Pulmonary & Aortic)
|
Pulmonary-Controls blood flow from right ventricle into pulmonary arteries.
Aortic- Largest artery, oxygen rich blood from heart goes to rest of body.
|
deoxy/oxy
|
SEPTUM
|
* Separates left and right atria and ventricles.
|

Why are we blogging?
I want to get into physio therapy and taking this course will help me learn about the human body.
What are your plans for next year?To get into post secondary.
What activities do you like to do outside of school?I like to play soccer, hockey and hang out with friends.
Have you done any fitness activities over the summer?
Yes i played soccer 4 times a week.
What are your fitness goals for the semester?
To achieve my personal bests in most of the fitness activities.
Add any pictures/you tube links/etc., that help you show what you like and who you are.
What is important to you & helps to define who you are?`

1st Term Self Assessment
My attendance in the class is pretty good, I have only missed a few classes due to illness and I am always ready with my pe strip on. My performance in fitness days is good, on days like beep tests it is better because I seem to find my self pushing my self more on things like beep tests.
I need to start pushing my self more in all fitness activities such as the insatity workout. I have a positive atitude towards the class but there are times when I don't want to play something but that's when I have to be willing to give new things a chance. That is like when we played lacrosse I did not want to but I chose it over ultimate so I can give it a chance and see if I like it. In the next term I want to try new things and be pushing my self in all fitness activaties.
