Colon Cancer

What were you surprised by? I was surprised by the look of the cancer. I was expecting worse. What was the most amazing part?  The most amazing part to me was when they extracted the cancer.
Could you relate the parts they are working on (live) to the colouring sheet, diagrams, or notes that we took in class? Kind of but our notes are significantly different.
What was the most interesting part? The interesting part was when he was explaining the procedure step by step.
What did you learn from this that you didn't know before? Colon Cancer in general. I never heard of that type of cancer before.

Dislocated Shoulder

I dislocated my shoulder while playing basketball and when I went to the hospital, the doctor explained this picture to me.






 

Interesting Facts

Interesting Facts:


You lose a lot of water by just breathing.
Breathing allows you to take in the oxygen your cells need and expel carbon-dioxide waste. But when you exhale, you also breathe out a lot of water.

Goal\Improvement

I'd like to improve my endurance and my explosiveness.

A test that can help me achieve these goals is the Beep Test.

Explosiveness workout ; http://www.mensfitness.com/training/build-muscle/build-explosive-strength-workout-i

Endurance workout ; Beep Test during fitness or jog with a 40lbs workout vest that I own. ;)

There's a  chart that mixes both goals in the link below ;

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

So far, the highlights for me have been: All the field trips


I am the most proud of: Of my physical capability in Super Fit


The most interesting things I have learned about are: The human body


An example of when I really pushed myself in SuperFit is: During the pond run


I could make improvements in: Studying and assignments


I am really looking forward to: The field trips


The Basics - WORK HABITS:

Attendance (classes missed and why) - I've only missed the woo kim field trip because I wasn't feeling  too well.

Participation in field trips (woo kim, grouse grind, rock climbing) - I attended all field trips except the woo kim one.

Lates (how many & reasons) - A few times because I buy my food when the bell rings.

Preparedness for class (gym strip &/or supplies) - Always have my gym strip and supplies

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 finish most of my assignments. I get distracted every once and a while but I'm usually trying to stay focused.

Blog assignment completion - (out of 8 assignments) Comments? I believe that im missing a few but im planning on completing them soon

HEART

Using the information provided as you scroll overt the heart structures to complete the following table either on paper or on your blog:

Heart Anatomy Structures

STRUCTURE	FUNCTION	DEOXY/OXY BLOOD
LEFT ATRIUM	Chambers that receive blood returning from your body through your veins	OXY
LEFT VENTRICLE	Chambers where blood is pumped to your body through your arteries	OXY
RIGHT ATRIUM	Chambers that receive blood returning from your body through your veins	DEOXY
RIGHT VENTRICLE	Chambers where blood is pumped to your body through your arteries	DEOXY
PULMONARY ARTERY	Carries de-oxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs	DEOXY
AORTA	Carries oxygen-rich blood from your heat to your body	OXY
PULMONARY VEINS	Carries oxygenated blood	OXY
SUPERIOR VENA CAVA	Returns blood to the heart through the veins coming from the head	DEOXY
INFERIOR VENA CAVA	Returns blood to the heart through the veins coming from the lower body	DEOXY
ATRIOVENTRICULAR VALVES (Mitral & Tricuspid)	Controls the flow oxygen-rich blood from your left atrium to you left ventrical; Controls blood flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle.	Mitral - OXY Tricuspid - DEOXY
CHORDAE TENDINAE	Connects the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and the mitral valve in the heart.	DEOXY
SEMI LUNAR VALVES (Pulmonary & Aortic)	Controls blood flow from the right ventricle through the pulmonary artery into your lungs; Controls blood flow from your left ventricle to your aorta.	OXY
SEPTUM	A wall of muscle separating the right and left side of the heart.	N/A

You will have to look up the structure and functions of the Chordae Tendinae elsewhere...

Now find a good heart diagram with all of the above structures labelled and post it to your blog.

Using the following link, describe the structure and function of the CORONARY ARTERIES AND VEINS.  What are they and what do they do?

• Coronary arteries branch off into smaller arteries, which supply oxygen-rich blood to the entire heart muscle.
